Socialism

What really confuses me about the socialist thing is why the term is used as an insult here?:confused:

Because general America has been living with money and fake money for so long, it doesn't actually know what it is for real. It's enough of a mnemonic bogeyman to our knee-jerk capitalism and culture of excess to conjure up visuals of "foreign-ness," grey-suited soldiers everywhere with leather Gestapo boots and submachine rifles standing guard prohibiting things that used to be "free" and Something Different From Us That's Very Very Very Very Very Very Close To Communism, which is The Government Of All Evil. And we don't wanna be like them. Whoever they is.

That is so chillingly accurate, my nipples got hard.

So it is a dirty word because it threatens the US's beloved but malignant capitalism and evokes the hated 'other' ways of living?
 
There's capitalism and everything else. But everything else is the same stuff packaged in a variety of containers with the same directions: 1. You labor, toil, and earn your daily bread BUT I GET TO EAT IT.
 
And Capitalism is malignant how?

I think the pursuit of things makes people cold (this is strictly an opinion). In a more general sense capitalism has driven your economy to the edge. The favourite sons of capitalism are greed and materialism. The ruthless need for things is what has driven the credit crisis in the US...
 
God Damn. Just read this thread and Irezumi and the other socialists here are (were) kicking butt with cartoon propaganda. Makes me want to join my local collective hive mind and pogrom some jewish bankers then spread their gold dental fillings and wealth around to my mates. Where can I sign up, comrades? Hope I get a brown shirt and a little red book! Or hat with a red star!

But then, Irezumi - who is a fucking masterful visual artist - opens his mouth and reveals having a good visual mind doesn't necessarily translate into rational, cognitive intelligence nor is artistic talent dependent upon pursuing an education in economics or history:

God, I hate it when artists talk about their work. Just STFU and make art, asshat!

Socialism and its variants are responsible for more deaths, murders, mass starvation, genocides, pogroms, torture, inquisition, forced-labour camps, environmental destruction, industrial accidents, shitty products, total human wastage and general bad boy behavior in the last century than all the other fucking asshole mass murders on the planet combined including Ghengis Khan, Cortez, Napoleon and Hitler, who by the way was...wait for it...A FUCKING SOCIALIST...

Anyhow, even without Hitler's contribution the mass murders of the the last hundred years. (Hey, did ya'll know Hitler was a pretty OK artist too???) The real followers of Marxism manage to kill about 100 million civilians. That wussy artist, the self-described "socialist" Hitler barely knocked off 6 million Jews, plus maybe a million or two more gypsies and incidental causalities.

So when Irezumi pretends like there ain't nothing to fear from the collectivist impulse to quash your individual civil liberties in the name of the Hive, remember those 100 million dead still mouldering in their mass graves.

Socialism is a very, very, very, very, very bad idea.

Next post our topic will be a psychoanalytical discussion of the relationship between large mammary glands and the deep seated socialist need to suck on the giant tit of totalitarian command economies as illustrated in art history.

Allow me to translate what you said:

“blab la bla”


If you take a look at the whole, I’m sure America has fallen. Why? Many feel entitled, and owed. This is a big theme in some segments of our society. Why is that?

Now, if you want to live in the past, your post about list of countries (didn't read it yet) is the past.

where will America be after the obama Regime is finished with their destructive work?

Now, if there was a sign of intelligence on the left (aka socialist nut jobbers), you would look around at the current surroundings, and peek into the future.

What will the world look like in 5 years? In 10 years?

Let’s say that the supreme obama takes hold, and we get more people committing treason against America. USA adopts more socialism.

People like me will adapt and play that game. What will YOU bitch about then? How wrong socialism is, and only the political elite reap the rewards?

Oh, look this is what happened in USSR (to live in the past like you nut jobbers love to do), or in China today.

Do we need more socialism, hell no


For those that are hard workers, there are more opportunities to move forward.

Now, if you want to live in 1910 with no luxuries, or innovations, then you must seek out a socialist government to support that backward way of life

Actually, Jenny I'm a bit disappointed with your contribution to this thread. Thank your luck star that I'm not the gestapo here or you'd be shipping out to the Gulag on the first truck tomorrow asap....after we had a, ahem, little debriefing in my basement office overnight with lieutenant Igor and his magic pliers....he he he.

Btw, the cartoons were magnificent!

yes, they were great cartoons, and that is all THEY have to offer. I enjoyed your post.

I just don't see the point of a socialist type govenment.

What people don’t realize is when you move to a socialist style government, most of the time you end up like Venezuela. I have more respect for Chavez, as what you see is what you get. Not the crap we get from obama.
 
What's amused me about this thread is the way if someone says "The rightwingers use the word to mean whatever they want," the assumption is that person is defending socialism.

If I say "You're using a very broad definition of socialism. I don't think that's what it means," I am NOT saying "I think socialism is a good thing."

You people understand that, right?
