So…what is Socialism?

[OddBeMe]

Big business can get federal money…but not poor people?

$3 Trillion pushed into the stock market. CEOs repurchased their own stocks. Essentially giving themselves a federal raise.

Socialism is for community benefit and state controlled utilities over private control. They are also more supportive over workers then big businesses. It has been hijacked by the woke brigade in modern times however. Socialists used to be more patriotic then anyone in the past, now they are a bun ch of traitors.

Socialism is more of a humanitarian idea. Economically, it fails - and so it should go hand in hand with one other ''ideology'' ... where greed capitalism isn't really an option :)

Socialism is what corporations and rich people get from the government. Capitalism is what the rest of us get.

if i have to put myself on the ballot i will.

[OddBeMe]

Even you aren’t crazy enough for Texas.

[Sevenpointfive]

i'd be better than any politician these days. i gained a little respect for abbott standing up for the people but he is such a flake sometimes. i would start a civil war!

[OddBeMe]

Don’t day “Abbott” and “standing”.

[Drewtate]

This is where socialism ends up, in neo-feaudalism

[OddBeMe]

Sure that ain’t capitalism that does that?

[Drewtate]

Well if we look at China or Russia. Somebody always ends up in the big house on the hill.

[Dargil]

A socio political system where government owns or at least controls the tools of production.

[OddBeMe]

Can the production be simply healthcare for the elderly whilst the rest of us uses capitalist plans?

[Dargil]

Production requires profitable elements like Airbus. Socialist government will decide how to distribute profits including healthcare and pensions. This has been helpful in Europe because we have supported them militarily for 75 years. When that stops (under Trump?) their economic system will collapse.

[OddBeMe]

True but what about socially profitable?

A total socialist or total capitalist country will always be bad.

Trump wants to end NATO. Which would start wars like Ukraine across the former Soviet barrier.

[Dargil]

NATO doesn't start wars. They are defensive. Europe is free to do what it wants.

[OddBeMe]

That’s why I said ending would start the wars across the Russian border.

[Dargil]

Socially profitable has no bank balance.
Total laissez faire capitalism yields robber barons. The US is getting more. Communism is slavery. Both are bad.
End NATO and let the EU fend for itself. They have the money and manpower.

[OddBeMe]

True! But like investing in your education can be devastating to your bank account…down the line social investing can be too.

Joe Biden is socialism

[OddBeMe]

[Opinion Owner]

Watch all the Governor Scott commercial ads google it

[Opinion Owner]

[OddBeMe]

Yeah I don’t get my info from a politican commerical. You dont have any thoughts of your own?

[Opinion Owner]

He’s the worst president, that walks the face of the Earth that’s my source

[OddBeMe]

That’s not a source. It’s not even a premise for an argument.

[Opinion Owner]

Well, the wife is my source and guess who that is you know her

[OddBeMe]

Hasn’t Trump taken more socialism by writing off his failed businesses why the two of us pay taxes?
