    Socialism is fair capitalism with a good safety net. I live next to Canada and there aren't any Canadians in the hospitals. That's for the very rich. They love their Canadian healthcare and can't believe the crap we put up with from the GOP

    Then they can pay for their Lasik themselves just like everybody has to here. What a bunch of baloney. Faire capitalism with a good safety net is the final solution. With democracy always. Socialism it is called everywhere but English speaking countries.

    You can call it what you want but socialism has NEVER worked anywhere it has been tried. It either turns into iron fisted communism or it is partnered with some form of capitalism. Progressives are frauds who sell their bullshit to stupid people.

    None of the "ism" work in pure form, they are all just chalk-board exercises (Capitalism, Communism, Socialism). The most successful governments are hybrids.
    Now finding the correct balance is another story, and can change with the personalities of the people in charge.
    Political scientists agree that a Benevolent Dictator would be the most efficient form of government - but that finding a "Benevolent" dictator is truly a rare thing.

    I'm inclined to agree but how does one convince the all or nothings of both sides of the aisle? Both fear the other.

    Socialism as understood by the socialist parties in France Spain Italy Germany Scandinavia etc etc have never failed. You are talking about communism which has nothing to do with socialism except with a gun to your head in Cuba China and North Korea, or the English-speaking Savage capitalist conservative brainwash.....

    ..another contemporary example of the enmity of progressive ideology toward humanity:

    Anti-science reaction to the virus pandemic.

    Instead of heeding the analysis of the healthcare experts, and the warnings of the expanding virus pandemic, the progressive left played their favorite card: The Race Card.

    Trump was 'Racist!!' for closing the borders with China, and leftist talking heads unanimously condemned him, along with progressive indoctrinees across the globe.

    Had we listened to them, the virus would have been much worse. They seem to think political correctness, and identity politics is a vaccine for any health crises that arise, and prefer to risk everyone's lives, for their agenda.

    The unintended consequence of progressive ideology is death. Wake up from your Indoctrination! Both your physical life, and your eternal soul is in deadly peril, from these treasonous enemies of America and humanity! Why die for a lie?

    None are 100% socialist.
    It has everything to do with socialism, even Lenin said "The purpose of socialism is communism". It has always been bait and switch, the hand that feeds, that appears beneficent, always becomes tyrannical and bloody. History does not lie.

    You could look at all the non-english-speaking countries where socialism as fair capitalism always Democratic with a good safety net has never failed. And never will. Why are English-speaking the countries the only ones that don't have socialist parties? The Savage capitalist brainwash forever. no one else is confused about the difference.

    Lenin Stalin Hitler are the biggest liars in history so of course you believe them too LOL. And Marx was totally wrong. try asking the socialists instead of everyone else. there has never been a bait and switch between socialism and communism. Communism has always been put in by a violent revolution...

    Only on the GOP propaganda machine was the Chinese ban so racist. The problem with Trump has been all the misinformation he had Fox and Rush keep producing. Stay the f*** at home!

    The Republican party has no 'machine'.. whereas the progressives have academia, the media, entertainment, the Democrat party, govt employees, unions, most religious institutions, lawyers, the courts, and almost every human institution.

    Mitch McConnell lamenting Pelosi's inclusion of liberal wish list pork barrel projects in the virus relief bill is hardly a machine juggernaut.. :roll:

    "If I were asked the difference between Socialism and Communism, I could only reply that the Socialist tries to lead us to disaster by foolish words and the Communist could try to drive us there by violent deeds." ~Winston Churchill

    English speaking countries have made the word socialism poison-it has been thoroughly conflated with Communism a total failure.. The UK was lucky they got socialism after world war II. We only got the GI Bill. So we are the only modern country without a living wage healthcare daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations and mainly taxing the rich? Pure propaganda alone makes this mess possible. Every other modern country has everything that socialists like Bernie and AOC want already. This is really pathetic. LOL aaarrrggghhh

    the GOP has a propaganda machine the worst thing ever in American politics. Fox Rush Rupert Murdoch the Koch brothers and that is it. Everything you know is wrong. Hundreds of phony scandals conspiracies and pure misinformation. So we got the worst inequality and upward mobility ever.

    Wrong!

    Socialism has given socialism a bad name. No one wants government oppression disguised as give away programs and free stuff.

    Trump was acting so decisively that Pelosi, Biden and other leading Leftwing "luminaries" were claiming that he was animated by racism. Italy responded with a "Hug a Chinese" program that likely killed Italians by the thousands. They are currently closing in on 16,000 dead.

    New York urged everyone to ignore Trump and attend the huge crowds gathered for Chinese New Year. They are projected to close their butcher's bill at over 16,000 dead.

    Pelosi, took a break from her ridiculous impeachment that dominated the schedules of all 3 branches of Federal government and did the same in San Francisco, urging all to join the massive Chinese New Years crowds. In two weeks on the heels of the rapidly spreading epidemic, the six Counties of the Bay Area went on lock-down. A week later it was Statewide. The CA butcher's bill is currently estimated to close at 5,100 dead.

    Despite these Democrats active measures to sabotage and denigrate Trump's decisive actions, Trump likely saved thousands of lives with his travel restrictions.

    It's weird how some so earnestly repeat Chinese Propaganda even while it is in the process of killing so many Americans.

    AUSSIE BEATDOWN: Tim Blair Delivers An Old-Fashioned Fisking to the Chinese Propaganda Apparat, And It’s Brutal.

    The Daily Telegraph this week received a letter from the Australian Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China, who took gentle issue with our excellent coverage of the coronavirus crisis.

    Following is a point-by-point response to the Consulate General and China’s communist dictatorship:

    Recently the Daily Telegraph has published a number of reports and opinions about China’s response to COVID-19 that are full of ignorance, prejudice and arrogance.

    If a state-owned newspaper in China received this kind of complaint, subsequent days would involve journalists waking up in prison with their organs harvested.

    Tracing the origin of the virus is a scientific issue that requires professional, science-based assessment.

    Sure it does. How professional and science-based was the claim published on March 12 by China’s foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian that “it might be US Army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan”?

    The origin of the virus is still undetermined, and the World Health Organization has named the novel coronavirus “COVID-19”.

    The World Health Organisation also appointed Zimbabwean murderer Robert Mugabe as its Goodwill Ambassador and declared on March 2 that the “stigma” of the coronavirus “is more dangerous than the virus itself”.

    The World Health Organisation does a lot of stupid stuff.

    So what is the real motive behind your attempt to repeatedly link the virus to China and even stating that the novel coronavirus was “made in China”?

    Our motive is accuracy. That’s why we don’t link the virus to Bognor Regis or state that it was “made in Panama”.

    The people of Wuhan made a huge effort and personal sacrifice to stop the spread of the epidemic.

    Wuhan’s Dr Li Wenliang indeed made a huge effort to warn people about the coronavirus outbreak. Then, as the New York Times reported: “In early January, he was called in by both medical officials and the police, and forced to sign a statement denouncing his warning as an unfounded and illegal rumor.”

    And now he’s dead, so that’s “personal sacrifice” covered as well.

    Nevertheless, in order to capture attention and gain more internet hits, you called Wuhan the “Zombieland” and Wuhan seafood market the “bat market”. How low can you go?

    In the civilised world, “Bradman bats and bats and bats” is a famous newspaper banner:

    In Wuhan, it’s the name of a restaurant.

    The effectiveness of China’s epidemic prevention and control has fully underlined the people-centered philosophy of the Communist Party of China and the strong advantages of the Chinese system.

    In 2018, Amnesty International reported that China executed more citizens than the rest of the world combined.

    Please tell us more about your “people-centered philosophy” and how many bullets it requires.

    The Chinese lied about the disease. They’re about to find out that they chose poorly.
