Socialism is best because under socialism. No one has to worry about being poor or starving to death. No one is poor, unemployed, discriminated, everyone is equal reguardless or race or creed. Today such ideas are condemned as evil. Any attempt to protest against slavery and genocide and human rights violations are met with the cries of COMMUNISM! By the religious right and then they conjure up stories about Stalin, Gulags, tortue, police state etc. So therefore we must stick with the current system of sweat shop slavery, poverty and racism while rich people who already have all they will ever need in life continue to thrive off our blood sweat and tears.
CAPITALISM KILLS:
Amazing how they criticize socialism and incorrectly lump Socialism with communism especially when capitalism has murdered more people than any other ideology. One forgets how capitalism starves the poor, about how beggars are thrown in jail, how native indiginous populations are exterminated so the rich can make an extral million bucks! They dont mention about how they control and oppress the people and how the masses are enslaved 48 hours a day in big factories so the rich can make money. They dont talk about women being abused and mistreated and discriminated. The Ku Klux Klan were Capitalists, the Nazis were capitalists, Augusto Pinochet was a capitalist, Ronald Reagan, Pol Pot, Queen Victoria, Columbus, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Pat Buchanan, the pope, Osama Bin Laden and the terrorists they are all capitalists. Why dont we scream about the ills of their "system" of whatever!
COMMUNISM VS SOCIALISM
There is a big difference between socialism and communism. Communism is where the state controls everything. This is very similar to capitalism. The state controls the lives and destinies of everyone. Under socialism, everyone controls everything and everything belongs to everyone. We dont need to worry about stealing or going hungry or any of that stuff.
You might say, but hey! Who is going to have to work and whats the incentive for work?
Well of course that is somthing else but not to worry! Everyone will be working rich and poor. The workers however will decide everything and we can let the filthy stinkin rich worry wome other time. Everyone will have a job and be paid lots of money. I propose a minimum wage of $20.00 an hour for all workers. A maximum hour work week of 30 hours in a 8 day work week. Every company must hire unemployed workers reguardless of age sex race creed or education and we should also have an education system run by the people who will decide as a whole what to learn and if all else fails, we should can the rich and redistribute their weatlh. dont worry. They have plenty more where that comes from ;) YES! SOCIALISM! IT IS THE BESTEST GOVERNMENT EVER! I CANT WAIT! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
It's fun to see you trolls get smacked around so hard....Almost as much fun as watching Dane getting smacked up on immigration threads....
Hey, before you go getting all self-hateful towards your country, remember that you could say the same thing about many urban (or for that matter rural) areas of the US that are largely socialist. In fact, the US has more socialist welfare programs than Canada does. We have medicare, welfare and subsidized housing. The US has Medicare, welfare, subsidized housing, food stamps, WIC and AFDC, just off the top of my head. Oh, we have the baby bonus or whatever they call it, too. Sounds like a toss-up to me.
You forgot the biggest welfare programs--ag subsidies.
Yah, I'm not saying Canada isn't socialist, but the US is too. Canada's just gone a little further down that road. Not as far as most western European countries, though.
The Nazis were not communists. They were a planned economy. They kept a profit motive in place for private industrialists. The Nazis did borrow some elements of Communism as a way of appealing to the working class--in effect to win them over with the idea that if they were happy they would not foment a revultion that would destroy the middle class in a bloody chaos.
