To all the socialists out there - Vote with your feet!

in #politics5 years ago

I love the idea but none of the snowflakes would ever go. Most people who say they support socialism don't really know what it means, and far less do they understand the history of socialism and the devastation it has caused wherever it has been tried.

Most who say they support it are just covetous hyenas or frightened sheep parading under an altruistic banner that in the name of "fairness" promises to remove personal responsibility by shifting their burden to society. In packs of hyenas, herds of sheep, or swarms of locust there is safety and strength in numbers. The problem with socialism, as the Iron Lady once said, is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

No, if you really want to know where economic conditions are best, watch where people go when they can vote with their feet. The real reality show is watching people risk life and limb to illegally come to America because it's the best place for economic opportunity and/or for getting on the government dole.

We need to stop feeding the pigeons in the park, enforce our borders, and ensure that we aren't importing hyenas, sheep, or locusts, or worse, hostile contagions or deadly parasites and terrorists. You're welcome to come to America if you want to be American, but if you are coming to supplant our functioning culture with the dysfunctional one you fled, don't bother. We have a right to keep what is ours, and that includes our cherished culture, customs, conventions, taboos and traditions.

If you want to know how people feel―ordinary people feel, about different [economic] systems―you ask them how they vote with their feet. Is it Hong Kong that has to put up police to keep people from Hong Kong going into China, or it's China that have to put up police to keep people from China going into Hong Kong? So look at the way people vote with their feet before you judge which society gives them better conditions.

you are confusing socialism and communism.
Are you unaware that the UK, New Zealand, Australia etc thrived as socialist countries.
More recently these same counties have been adopting the US style fascism where prison population are treated as slaves working for pennies per day working in a fascist profit center along with health care and education.

The US has increasingly resembled more of a communist state since the murder of JFK by the deep state and now the rest are following.
How can you account for the state funding Google, Amazon? this is how communism works, hand outs to big business so they fuck everyone else over.

The very opposite of democracy

Everything you said is pure propaganda. Communism, Marxism, Socialism, Collectivism, Fascism. This is all the same ideology in the sense that the individual has to bow before the ideology, can’t have a contrary belief and is seen as an enemy to the belief system. Every ideology that doesn’t care for the individual, his rights, his free speech, his personal beliefs, will destroy everything you cherish in a civilized society.

hey @cyberblock thanks for your reply.
The problem with your argument is, the evidence.

Just look at what is happening with youtube, our free speech is increasing being eroded daily.
I noticed two acts of scumbagery by youtube, only yesterday. The first was i realized that I have not seen anything from corbettreport in my feed for some time. I looked and youtube had unsubscribed me from his channel.
The second was i had a look at the Triggernometry channel and found this video

the significance of this is it did not and still does not show up in my feed. This shit is really happening every day on youtube which is owned by Google and was funded by the State.

Here in NZ we just starting to adopt for profit prisons, the same as the US.

We have for profit Universities the same as the US.

This is what Communism has always been, all the money goes to the ruling elite and everyone else gets fucked over.

Yes, what you are describing (censorship) is Socialism. All big cooperations are leftists socislists.

I guess you live in the USA ?
Just spoke to two kiwis and one Romania (who lived there while it was still communist) and we all think there is a huge difference between communism and socialism.

The way it was explained to me when I was growing up in the UK was there is a component of democracy with socialism.

I see the word collectivism often being lumped in with communism. This seems strange to me as I see collectivism as being very democratic like a worker owned collective such as gained a lot of traction in the Falklands after the English aggression and subsequent withdrawal of globalized businesses. I met a group of brewers here in NZ who formed such an organisation. It seems like a most agreeable way to rum a business to me! Very democratic

See what I am talking about ?
Even here the Communists will is to silence decent !
