You're playing with semantics here. I call Europe's
countries Socialism, and ours is "creeping Socialism", but
whatever you call it, it's a planned destruction of the
Middle Class. Immigration is about nothing but destruction
of the middle class.
Socialism is the precursor of Communism... but OK, let's
not call it Communism, let's call it what it really is,
Totalitarianism.
You seem to be rooting for the abolition of the Republic.
You seem to think that "spreading the wealth" differently
will make this country as wonderful as... Britain? France?
The Netherlands or Sweden?
What form of government is your favorite?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3940512 How is it creeping socialism? WE HAVE MASSIVE WEALT INEQUALITY - AND ITS DOUBLED IN THE LAST 30 YEARS.
What dont you understand - ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO BE SOCIALISTIC... OUR TAXES ON THE RICH ARE FAR LOWER THAN IN THE 1940s...
Socialism IS NOT the "percursor to communism" - that is FUCKING IDIOTIC. It makes no sense and is not true....
I want to yell "SHILL" at you - because the only people who can benefit from our misery is the BANKERS and large corporations...
AGAIN: 80% OF THE COUNTRY SHARES 4% OF THE WEALTH TODAY - IN 1983 THEY SHARED 8.7%
The masses have lost 60% of their already pathetic 8.7% share...
Its not socialism we are seeing - it is the bankers trying to ruin our society to buy up even more of our property.
The point being, I don't CARE what you call it, we are
being forced headlong into Tyranny! You do see that, right?
It just looks to me that you are so wrapped up in
percentages and definitions that you are providing support
for what neither one of us (or ANYone I know) wants -
Tyranny. I like to call Tyranny "Communism" because
Communists have historically been the WORST tyrants.
I like to call Liberalism "Socialism", but that's just me.
There are many everyday working people on GLP, and
ranting about GNP percentages etc., is not what we relate
easily to.
So relax, cheer up and maybe we can ALL agree on something,
like 'Tyranny is Bad'.
Your desire to use loaded words and misunderstand history, social and economic systems, and our current situation - then go ahead and use these 'shorthands' you describe.
Because man - I gotta say - if we used your reckoning, the entire country would just matter of factly call the republicans the Nazis, and the democrats wing the Fascists..
Leftists are generally 'socialist' - bu, big secret here: in all of the western world except USA, the citizens get something for their tax contributions other than endless war for corporate profit.
Stop this stuff - you dont 'like to call socia... ' you have been indoctrinated by sophisticated propaganda that is aimed at right wingers on these message boards.
