I'll just leave this here.

Funny though it be, Bernie isn't a real socialist.
He leans that way, but still wants capitalism to
fuel the taxes which would pay for more social
bennies for the masses.

I know that's makes the comic even more funny.

Bernie is just a faux socialist. But then again so are most other socialist supporters. They don't actually care for others, they just want everyone else to think they care. Nothing but a bunch of virtue signaling ninnies!

You were the one bleating about socialism and comparing Sanders' policies to Venezuela, and when given examples of successful countries with the same policies that Sanders is advocating you went No True Scotsman on us.

I didn't go there.

Another poster did, I just pointed it out, mostly because it's hilarious.

Keep in mind though that Democrats don't really want socialism, what they want is social programs funded by capitalism.

No, there is a growing movement within the Dems that want a socialist state (i.e. the state owns the means of production) and they are thinly veiling themselves as democratic socialist. I am just calling their BS.

I don't think I will ever understand how people see fit to make such comparisons.

There is literally no resemblance, no contact point.

But you cannot deny that its tenets are set upon a direct path toward it.


Karl Marx was known to be a Jew hater. That seems to be a problem when considering the, not so inspirational, fundamentals of modern Socialism.


Does anyone not see that the approach toward Socialism as one of vindication, not investigation? I'm waiting to see the science of socialism as the ultimate truth.

Sooo...if you had your druthers which one would you immigrate to?

As if I would just abandon my home to further deteriorate in the hands of witless yokels.
Nah, I would rather encourage them to immigrate to a third world theocracy instead of allowing them to continue turning the U.S. into one.
I've heard the the weather is great in Iran, BSM1

Bogeyman nonsense. You watch far too much FOX News and Infowars.

 

[Father Heathen]

That's your opinion and your entitled to it.

No matter how wrong it is.

Facts and data speak for themselves; my opinion has nothing to do with it.

I'm hoping they realize that never works, but there are all kinds of people in the world.

I have no problem here...sorry your delusions ruin your day-to-day...

You would be wrong again.

You need to take off the partisan blinders brother.

 

[Enoch07]

It is your opinion when you cited no facts or data.

 

[Father Heathen]

Fair enough, but that lands us both in the same boat.

 

[Father Heathen]

Because you're totally objective and nonpartisan yourself.

 

[Enoch07]

Yes, I have criticized everyone.

Just so happens lately the left has gone insane and needs the most criticizing .

 

[Father Heathen]

I have no problem here...

The kool-aid as dulled your senses and facilities.

 

[Enoch07]

Fair enough, but that lands us both in the same boat.

Which leads us back to the post you objected to.

That's your opinion and your entitled to it.

So why did you even bother?

I think my point is proven.

The problem is that "the left" as presented by conservatives here on the board has mosty been a goofy straw man.

This is the objective view of the left.

You can't see it because you're not being objective.

I don't know. When people stir the pot I can't resist stirring it in the opposite direction, I guess.

 

[Father Heathen]

The vice versa could just as easily be said.
