So... single payer (with an "e", not an "o") government subsidized healthcare is totally socialist, but single sourced totally government funded fire protection is NOT. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaBeekeeper » 28 Jan 2023, 4:18 pm » wrote: ↑ Yeah, we know that you SOCIALISTS don't want to hear what the actual founders of this nation had to say because it interferes with your push for "democracy".
But you know WHO DID want to see Democracy?? Why none other than YOUR FAVORITE FATHER, KARL MARX!! You know, your favorite of all times when it comes to "how to turn a Capitalist society into a Communist one through the socialist method"!!
Run along now child. Your little hiney is a RED AS A BEET from the stomping you just had administered!!
Oh and I never once said healthcare was socialism. I SAID that SINGLE PAYOR[SIC] healthcare PROVIDED BY GOVERNMENT AND CONTROLLED BY GOVERNMENT is totally SOCIALIST!! OPEN YOUR F'ING EYES and TRY to comprehend what is being said rather than reinventing BS to suit your FAILED ARGUMENT, SFB'S!!
Like I said... we are a representative democracy... and the voting citizens of that representative democracy voted to form a constitutional republic.... that is run by a legislature that is democratically elected on a regular basis. Our economy is capitalist that is minimally regulated by the government. Those voting citizens of our representative democracy also decided that some service aspects of our capitalist economy - fire prevention and control, crime prevention and control, public transit, health care, utility distribution, road maintenance, to name but a few - are better managed by the government - than by rugged individuals - at the local, state and national levels. Government administration of NONE of those aspects of our extremely complex capitalist economy turns that economy "socialist". Government does not own the means of production of our economy. The NYSE sells ownership shares of our economy to private citizens every single work day. Government does NOT own the means of production... everyone with a portfolio or an IRA or a retirement plan does.... we all own a piece of the American dream...the capitalist American dream.
