politics thread

There's no such thing as a "socialist regime." WOW, this is in part...part of the game that's being played on people as I mentioned a bit earlier.

For the record I consider myself a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. I don't affiliate with any political party because most of it is BULLSHIT.

Well, in a post above you said Boliva was.

Anybody else? I'll wait for a few more minutes then I'm out.

Guys and lady, we have to be able to agree on those things that are not up for debate. Injecting socially engineered "talking points" serves no purpose and does more harm than good. We have to stop this nonsense or risk living up to @dad's question about this thread becoming increasingly less a debate and more affirmation of accepted, BS talking points.

 

[Stymietee]

Well, in a post above you said Boliva was.

Never said that it was a "regime" that's your interpretation. Again rather than argue, let me be clear, Bolivia is one of the most successful "Socialist" countries in the world. This is a fact! The point of the earlier post was that picking and choosing Venezuela over Bolivia was in itself another form of BS talking points.

 

[Stymietee]

If you support one, some, or all of these things then you support "socialism" Picking the ones that you like and dislike is to be against what this country is.

Fire departments

Police departments

"We live in a hybrid society, along with every other society in the world to their own varying degrees. I do not think a country in the world exists without, at the bare minimum, police, firefighters, libraries, and public roads. Socialism essentially boils down to the things that the citizens demand and the leaders must deliver lest they be deposed. These deliveries can only be done through taxation, hence socialism is when everyone puts capital in the pool for the benefit of all. Here’s one people rarely take note of; state lotteries. That, my friends, is purely socialistic even though the results are capitalistic windfalls to the winner."

"It’s impossible in practice to be a society of purely private ownership, and the ones that have tried full public ownership have generally been disasters. The misconception that everyone sees day in and day out is the equating socialism to communism, in which the state controls the means of production and nothing else. Socialism =/= Communism =/= Collectivism. None of those words are synonymous and one of them has nothing to do with economics, yet some people cannot, or refuse to understand the distinction."

For the record and for this threads definition database:

Chiller supports this

Are you asking me if I support this, telling me that I support this, or resorting to name calling?

Its hard to tell.

 

[chillerdab]

Post your tax returns here. We'll wait...

I guarantee if I did post my tax returns online here, all you greedy small minded republican sheeple would lose your fucking minds.

Never-Trump Republicans Start to Show Some Spine

About time someine - anyone, really - on the right realize what kind of a scumbag fascist they elected as President.

 

[chillerdab]

American Patriot AOC at it again: admonishing DEMOCRATIC cingressmen for supporting ICE because of the lack of oversight, despicable caging of children, etc that lunatics on the right seem to support wholeheartedly.

Perfect example of what I posted earlier this week: A moron on the right who cant analyze things logically, makes an idiotic generalization based on a small minded interpretation, and the audience on the right eats it up.

Gorko had the ear of dumbdumb Drumpf.

Going personal only says something about you and the weak assed position that you are trying to defend. I'm not going there with you since clearly you have nothing else to offer. I asked for clarity, you've refused, and now you want me to define YOUR use of this term. Let's be clear on something though, fuck with me at your own peril if you want to, I'm here!

You can't answer it. You've had a number of opportunities and I've even bent to your silly semantics game. You don't have the knowledge but you want to make the claims. You brought up Bolivia to make a point and now you can't support it. What a fraud you are.

 

[skinsdad62]

Again, there's a game being played on the public at large, recognize and stop playing along!

I do recognize , just not buying

Can I be a douche in Bolivia?

There never was a debate here, just a bunch of folks regurgitating talking points, most of which were pure BS. Rather than going through a entire list of things, I'll just give this one example since it is you who's asking. The MSM (main stream media) has been proven in fact to be owned and operated by conservatives, yet there are folks here who continually using an old, tired talking points about "liberal" media as if that were true. Well, the fact say otherwise. Unless and until some here are able to separate themselves from the game being played on them then debate is futile.

BTW: On a general note, aimed at no one specifically, I was raised to note that, arguing with a fool, makes me one as well. So until there's true, honest, less biased debate, I suppose that this nonsense will continue. I'll not participate from here out to the degree that I have previously, lest, I become the fool too!

Horse shit.

That's what Trump said.
You're in good company.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then, according to republicans, it must be "Hilary's EMAILS!"
