Why are people so against socialism? (Page 2)

[Anonymous]

Do it like Scandinavia does, but I sure as heck does not want to live in a communist hellhole

[FunkyMonkee]

Oh, probably just because it doesn't work.

[Paige90]

So go live in Venezuela!!

[Pterodon]

Because it’s failed everywhere

[EnglishEuropean]

You mean Americans, right?

[OddBeMe]

Linking it back to the Soviets ain’t helping.

[rcljr]

Try talking to a real Cuban, a real German that lived through the 1940’s , try talking to a real Russian.

[OddBeMe]

@rcljr and what do they say?

[rcljr]

They fear socialism to their core, that’s why they risk everything to come to America, land of the free, until that cock sucker biden showed up.

[OddBeMe]

@rcljr what specifically do they fear? Because isn’t socialism just the govt handling things?

[rcljr]

You really need to crack open a world history book and actually read it instead of playing Xbox. I have neither the time or patience to teach. You can also find some video archives on you tube. For starters, try Hitler and Nazi Germany.

[OddBeMe]

Buy nazis were fascists and Soviet’s were communists. And today’s Europe is Democratic Socialism

[Kingofkings1992]

Because it has never worked, and never will.

USA is was and will be staying the course with God

Socialism has nothing to say on religion. You would be amaze how much Christianity has ideas that are similar.

Here are some :

Proverbs 29:7: “A righteous man knows the rights of the poor; a wicked man does not understand such knowledge.”

Matthew 25:35-40

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37 "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40 "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'

Hebrews 13:16 NIV
16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Matthew 5:42 NIV
42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Deuteronomy 15:11: “There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.”

Leviticus 25:35: “If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you.”

You are 61. The media used the word socialism instead of the word communist all your life. We can't really blame yourself for your ignorance.

Communist on the other hand is a different part of the story. They hate religion and did awful things.
