    Actually it's the other way around, Feezles. The 'Sentimentalists' are the ones who go Full Authoritarian (because they're driven by personal ideology, not practicalities). The bona fide Commie doesn't give a good *******n what you believe, what your politics are, whether you're religious, whether you hate the gay, whether you love the gay, etc etc etc. Their only interest in others, is in their productivity. Getting the work done!

    Or those that just want a bunch of free stuff that they themselves don't have to pay for (because they are always broke themselves.)

    I would like to see the actual question. I have trouble believing the high numbers of supposed Democrats who find socialism ok just as I do not. believe that there are 16 % supposed Republicans who like socialism. The Republicans who like socialism should be 0%. The Democratic figure of socialism lovers should be no more 10-15%.

    Seems like an unfair question, since socialism and capitalism need not be black and white states. One could socialize only education, or education and healthcare, or do those things while having regulated capitalism elsewhere. What if I don't want a pure version of either, do I disapprove of both or approve of both?

    Nonsense - SOCIALIST Bernie might have actually WON the Dem nomination if Hillary's minions had not cheated in the primary process! I'd say 40 - 60% is likely the real figure.
    Nice try at spin, though, but I'm afraid that today's Dem party is heading more and more towards looking like Antifa, and less and less like the party of JFK.

    Don't you claim to be a republican?

    Why are you falsely accusing me of spinning ? What did I spin? I will tell you nothing.

    The minimum level of support that Bernie got does not relate directly to his socialism. I have no reason to spin because the truth is on my side. The fact the Bernie did not do well is most likely that he is an admktted socialst.

    I would think that only the socialists would be crying tears for Bernie. You do not appear to be a socialist so why are you crying about Bernie?

    I am a registered Republican. If you read what I wrote you will note that I believe that 0% of Republicans should like socialsm.that is what I said. I also said that the percentage of Democrats who like socialism should be 10-15%. You think that a higher number of Democrats accept socialism? Ok so we can agree to disagree.

    What in the statements I made do believe are not pro Republican. Do you think that any level of Republicans accepting socialism is ok? What level? 0.5% ? 1% ?

    Bernie and Cortez's success only shows that the 57% Dem approval of socialism is probably a very real, very true, figure. She was a BARTENDER 9 months ago, and is only 28 years old, so her love of socialism is the main thing that explains her rise to national adulation among socialis....er, I mean among Democrats. The Dems have the new socialists and Antifa, just like the GOP has the KKK and white nationalists.

    PROBLEM :eekeyes:



    Define Socialism. :hmm:



    Uploads vary from describing a Nordic welfare society to a totally controlled economy.
    How can there be a meaningful discussion with such a fluid definition.

    Likewise the use of this word without qualification for political purposes.
    Nordic or Sovietsky?
    Nordic Socialism YES
    Sovietsky NO
    See the problem?

    Republicans seem to understand economic realities more than Democrats do.
    Democrats seem to understand that the Bible is evil more than Republicans do (God/Jesus won't let gays into heaven, per 1 Cor. 6:9-10, etc.)

    Socialism: a socio-economic system based on worker ownership and control of the means of production.

    Your 0% is probably more accurate than my 10% is, but I was just being cautious. Republicans do seem to understand the evils of socialism.

    They're interested in avoiding the work it takes to attain financial security. They don't care for the self-restraint needed.

    It's literally the same thing which drives both gambling, and crime.

    What a coincidence.

    I found an article about it from the respected Cato Institute in about ten seconds.
    I'm sure a nice guy like you could do the same and I've already given you a head start.

    There IS no difference. A Communist is a Communist no matter what color lipstick you put on it.
