This whole debate about socialism vs capitalism and who won is so FS. They both won- i.e., every western industrialized nation with a high GDP has a mixed economy. It's the least bad way of running things.

Missed the point. Socialism has no economic model.

Decided to eat paste instead of apple sauce today, huh?

I would grant you this Sledog if we're talking strictly about socialism, meaning "state ownership of the means of production" as the author states. But I think most of us lump in wealth transfer, and government planning and regulation of an economy as key components of "socialism".

Something like Medicare is not socialism because you paid for in the form of payroll deductions. Of course it was later corrupted so that those that did not pay in were given benefits. Same for social security.

Hell its not. Its government mandated single payer for old people. That people pay into doesn't make it non socialistic somehow. Furthermore most retirees will recite more in Medicare benefits than they ever paid in which is a transfer of wealth.

I agree except for giving benefits to those who never paid.

Kill yourself. Figuratively and literally. Millenials are entitled pigs. Instead of being on their 1K iphone x's that mommy and daddy bought them all day, parents should buy them a 1 way ticket to Belarus, Romania or some other crappy country to educate them in the evils of socialism/communism. They'll come back with an entirely different attitude, guaranteed.

Try installing a communist/socialist regime here. You'll get bloody slaughtered. US didn't fight WW2 to eventually roll over and accept totalitarianism here, whether it comes from the left or the right.

Who is trying to install a communist/socialist regime here that you are fighting?

Education system is the problem. It's churning out faggots that don't have a basic understanding of what communism is and how it led to millions of murders, starvation, other crimes.

Let's just end our education system then. An uneducated population is the best for a free market.

More trade schools, less universities. Need more truckers, plumbers, electricians, less future unemployed socialists/communists with worthless degrees, demanding free shit and the government to bail them out of their 100K student loan debt.

Is there a shortage of truckers, plumbers, and electricians? Or do you think you can just train people and jobs will open up. Just cause.
