Your refusal to understand that you use the term Socialism incorrectly is getting annoying.Beekeeper » 30 Jan 2023, 3:01 pm » wrote: ↑ No, duckmouth, tis YOU that has taken 100% of all I posted and tried to say I said one thing, when the EXACT OPPOSITE has been said and written!! So for that, you need to go BACK on the IGNORE function and stay there until you learn how to PROPERLY COMPREHEND WHAT HAS BEEN SAID!!! NEVER ONCE did I say that this nation was Socialist. BUT there are aspects that YOUR SIDE WANTS that is turning this nation into a SOCIALIST NATION!!
Just wait until the OIL AND ENERGY PRICES skyrocket and the push to take them over is UNDERWAY!! And its already been said that it's in the making.....
No one in the mainstream of the democratic party wants to have the US government take control of the ownership and means of production in our economy. Nobody wants to buy up all the farmland and have the farmers be government employees who grow what the federal government tells them to grow. Nobody wants to buy up all the car companies and only build the sorts of super energy efficient cars that the government choses to built. Nobody wants to buy Purdue or Tyson and have the government employing poultry workers. THAT would be socialism.
There is nothing socialist about snow plowing. There is nothing socialist about fire protection. There is nothing socialist about community policing. There is nothing socialist about government subsidized healthcare. There is nothing socialist about municipally owned water systems or sewerage systems or state owned electrical distribution systems.
The democratic party has no designs on having the US government buy out every corporation in America and make the NYSE a relic of a bygone capitalist era. We support and defend capitalism. The NYSE is selling shares of the ownership in the American economy every day, Democrats do not want to stop that.
We have, as a society, come to figure out that certain aspects of our communal lives are most effectively and efficiently handled by government. All of the things above in bold are such aspects.
Until you lose the hyperbole and the willful ignorance and the insulting epithets, maybe you SHOULD just put me on ignore.
