I see open support of socialism and communism on Facebook every day. Yesterday someone posted a link to a magazine article proclaiming Obama as the most successful U.S. President in history. I had one person I used to know - who constantly posts Bernie junk on FB - tell me that the "class war is coming" and he will be happy to "wait at the guillotine for people like you" when I challenged him on his socialist postings. Basically a death threat, IMO, but FB would never do anything about it if reported. I wanted to tell him that I have better shit than a guillotine, but decided not to get into it and just LOL ed at him. |

Quoted:
I have come to the realization that with the rise in popularity with Bern amoung the next generation, it is going to happen, one way or the next. It may be not this election cycle, but will likely be the next because this house of cards known as the US economy is going to have the table shook after FBHO leaves office, and I doubt it will stand. With that being said, whomever is next in line is likely to take the fall, as FBHO intends. Can we recover from what has intentionally been done to us if Trump or Cruz take the helm? Im afraid it will just be a bandaid until the limb turns toxic. I hope we can recover, but the only chamce we have is if the Millennial's have a chance to grow up some before wanting another form of government. (And yes, for the sake of argument, I know we are not a true free market, but nor are we 100% socialist. The problem is the two can not coexist.) Where have you been??? It ALREADY HAS! |

"What has intentionally been done to us?" Oh, right, right, it's everyone else. Doing stuff to you. Are you cool with presenting yourself as a helpless victim? 'Cause that's what you sound like. Gee, and I thought everyone here was a huge-balled take-change commando. But you seem fine with conceding that pussy liberals - millennials even - have systematically removed your potency. Maybe socialism isn't imminent. Maybe you're just whining. Given the victim talk, "whining" seems to be a pretty good conclusion. ... and it's the liberals who are pussies... unfuckingbelievable.... Dont you have some offs to fuck? I just try not to feed the  , personally

Just because we aren't as bad doesn't mean we aren't already socialist. Top 5 characteristics of socialism: 1: Government ownership of productive resources (not quite there, but already pretty damn close in certain key areas) 2. planned economy (not quite there also, but already pretty damn close) 3. Redistribution of income (already there - refundable tax credits, etc) 4. Societal goals are social welfare instead of private profit (read the news for a little while and tell me we aren't already there) 5. Peaceful and democratic revolution (all this has happened through incrementalism and the voting booth) Quote HistoryQuoted:

Sure, but you can have the appearance of free markets with gov't control. Fascism is popular with rulers for a reason. The big problem is that too much of the population refuses to work, and a decent sized chunk of them just aren't worth a damn under the current minimum wages. The taxpaying classes can't afford to support them indefinitely even if they wanted to. |

Can you buy the water heater you want? There is very little you do that the Gov doesn't have it's hands in. We are just the only Socialists allowed to have guns under min restrictions. Which will change if the Bern man or Hitlery get in. The Republic died when Woodrow Wilson made it a populist form of govt, via the 16th and 17th amendment. Allowing Senators the ability to promise goods bought by taxpayers.

Where do you people get this nonsense? I love Ronaldus Magnus however he did not curb welfare significantly , and did fail to abolish the Department of Education which was a campaign pledge of his. Having said that all the fucking Millennials that want to piss and moan about machine guns don't know how much freedom they regained when it comes to the 2A under Reagan or what it was like under Carter.

Of that, I don't believe there can be any doubt. Once it starts, it doesn't end until it all falls apart. Pretty much this. We're already on the the road downhill for a while, it has accelerated it significantly in the past 20 years, in addition to the severe divisions in the country (left/right, white/not-white, urban/rural, etc.), now it's just a matter of how quickly we get to the bottom. I don't think we'll make it another 20 years without something drastic happening. In this day and age, where social media overwhelms any conventional information source, a shitload can be promised to college kids and they'll do anything for "Free higher education" and other issues. On the brighter side, the generation that will be in college in the next election seem to be a bit more conservative, but so much damage has been done that it will be very hard to change it. First job is to stop the bleeding, then fix the wound. The current government is still using a knife instead of a bandage, let alone giving a thought about the actual wounds. |
