The Joys of Communism

And people say that the rich in the U.S. are not paying their fair share, which is completely absurd:

And now they are aiming to take away wealth.
Are people not allowed to reap the benefits of their success, or take risk with their money which provides opportunity for others, such as investments?
Philanthropy?

No. Let's all send it to the government, because they have such a great track record in wealth redistribution.

This might be an unpopular opinion--But I believe this chart highlights that the world has by and large done an amazing job staving off death from this pandemic. If you look at other pandemics (Black Death, Spanish Flu, Plague of Justinian, and just about anything ever with Yersinia pestis) the populace would have been tickled wirh even Italy's per capita deaths.

We can do better of course, but as far as pandemics go this one is mild.

That's the hilarity of these assertions by Republican chuds. Same went for Bill Clinton and Obama, same "commie puppet" rhetoric juxtaposed with the serious disappointment by the left at how moderate both were.

Trump is making Biden out to be some sort of far-left boogeyman. If Biden were half the boogeyman Trump thinks he is, I would not have a single hesitation.

But Trump considers moderates (who may even tilt right) as "the radical left".

"If you vote for the dems the country will fall apart and burn" is going to be a tough sell this election.

We've heard this talking points between both parties forever... They both have agendas and aren't good for anyone lol.
 
Establishment centrist Dems are commies now? Just like Obama was I guess.

All the pandemics you mentioned had a much higher death rate.

Do me a favor. Google who owns Amazon and see what percentage of the company they own. Strange how Bezos can be considered the owner of Amazon at a bit over 11% of the total shares vs Norway not being considered the owner of Equinor at 67% of shares. So they own the means of production for oil. I don't recall Sanders proposing this. And this is what you call socialism right?



You literally claimed progressive taxation was socialist and is how Democratic Socialists plan to redistribute wealth.


https://www.edmit.me/blog/countries-with-free-or-virtually-free-college-tuition

List of European countries where college tuition is free or nearly free. The most expensive college can possibly be in the UK is about 1/3 as much as the average cost for tuition here.

UK healthcare is completely state ran. From health insurance to the medical facilities. Medicare for all only has state ran health insurance and keeps privately ran medical facilities. So it too would be a mixed public/private.



Norway is one of the most heavily taxed countries in the world with a total tax burden of roughly 45% of GDP– almost 4x Hong Kong and nearly twice the US.

VAT here is a whopping 25%. Personal income tax rates border 55%. Corporate profits tax ranges from 28% to as high as 78%. Norway even has a direct WEALTH TAX.




I know the difference between all 3. I also know Sanders incorrectly calls himself a democratic socialist when in reality he is a social democrat. You can tell by his policies. Perhaps he labeled himself this way because he knew he would be labeled a socialist no matter what so decided to own it.

Now, if those countries aren't socialist then how can they have similar policies to what Sanders has proposed? How can you call one socialist and another capitalist. They are either BOTH socialist or they are BOTH capitalist.

Funny how despite all that redistrubution, the average person in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark doesn't have that much more than the average American.

AOC is going to be part of his administration and probably Omar. I would say even by 2010 liberal standards thats extreme left wing.
 
prepare for your new overlords @Philo-Publius I'll make sure they throw in some extra rat meat into your rations in the gulagges and you get a good seat for the trains being ran on your sister for entertainment.
 
Communism, Socialism, Democratic Socialism, all share the main central underlying tenet of parasitism.

Redistribute from the producer class, to support those suffering from work aversion. It's all a cozy ruse from the class hustlers that peddle it.

You are right. A lot of people are just dumb when it comes to saying: "This isn't real capitalism." Thinking there is some kind of perfect system that will run without flaws and flawed human beings getting in the way is ridiculous. The reality is that capitalism, even at its worst, is still the better option. Communism, Socialism and Democratic Socialism (<Lmaoo>) have a long track record of making countries turn for the worse. Why not work on making capitalism better instead of tossing it away and replacing it with something proven not to work?

It does work, and exactly as intended. People just haven't figured that out yet. They still think the burger in the commercial is the one that's going to arrive on their tray.

Sure thing. We just need someone like Ocasio-Cortez to thread the needle to make a perfect Socialist utopia. I happen to like the imperfect options of a free market that far exceed the options in a Socialized market. It's all relative.

It's not.

These morons don't know the difference between communism, socialism and Democratic socialism.

What’s the difference? And don’t post a link to Wikipedia. Explain it in your own words.

Your avatar is stupid.
