How will the National Socialist Left’s excuse the failure of socialism in Greece?

Posted on 07/01/2015 2:37:24 PM PDT by Voice of Reason1

It’s axiomatic that when a socialist regime hits the skids, the left will generally try to claim that such regime is ‘right wing’ somehow. Such claims can and will be completely irrational on their face, but for the national socialist Left it’s all about talking points and a simplistic ( but ‘superior’) mentality that favors headlines and shallow thought on the subject

And before you complain that I dare use the word ‘national’ next to the word ‘socialist’ I would ask that you please explain in detail (with documentation) Just how in Hades’ the word national modifies the meaning of the word ‘Socialist’. Because it doesn’t – even the dictionaries contradict themselves in this regard… but that’s a discussion for a different day.

So Grecian Socialism has officially gone belly up – as it has everywhere it’s been tried. It’s an article of faith of the national socialist Left to blame others and pretend that socialist regimes AREN’T socialist. And try to sell people on the BS that non-socialist nations ARE really socialist.

It’s also an article of faith that Socialism can work with the right people (meaning them) in charge.

It just takes the right kind of genius (like Obama) the right amount of other people’s money, the right kind of oppression of liberty and when the time is right, mass murder of their opposition… (OOP’s ! did I say that last part out loud?)

But here we have a glaring example of the complete and utter FAILURE of their precious ideology staring everyone in the face.

Will the national socialist Left actually question their blind faith in Marx and Obama?
Will they realize that all of socialism’s promises are a LIE meant only to install the socialists in power?

Not Bloody likely!!

Nope, their strategy will be the same old same old – deny reality and LIE that said FAILED socialist nation is really Right wing after all (Who knew?) It’s won’t matter how they arrive at this conclusion 180 degrees from reality, only that they convince themselves this is the case and blanket the airwaves with superficial talking points that somehow make their case.
(And anyone who questions these talking points is a Racist, Homophobic hater not worthy of being listened to. … as is the usual when losing a logical argument with the National Socialist Left)

Anyone have any ideas on how our socialist comrades on the nation's Left will try to BS their way out of yet another failure of their base and evil ideology

Yeah, not a damn word from them. They don't give a damn what you conservatives think. Their rulers will hurt their people but their corrupt government will survive just fine.

“They failed because they weren’t socialist enough!”


And it's the US’ fault, so we have to send Greece gobs of money to bail them out.

Germany's fault.
The economic powerhouse got greedy and no longer wanted to share their endless wealth with the poor Greeks for nothing in return. Bastards! /s

This is the option I’m betting on. But, by “the US’ fault” you mean Bush’s fault. And if we don’t send them gobs of money, we’re racist.

Congratulations, you properly classified National Socialism as Leftist.

I suspect they will lie, disinform and censor.

I can remember commenting about this on Facebook a day or so ago and sure enough there was some friendly neighbourhood socialist who dropped by and lectured to me about blaming the bankers and saying that if the bankers had their way, we’d be living in slavery. He also lectured about how socialism was alive and well all over the world and that if it was such a failure, how come the United States is the only country without single payer healthcare. He even carried on about the market economy being to blame for the 1930s Depression which apparently caused more hardship than socialism ever did.

After a while, you know it’s just pointless to talk to these people who are so completely full of themselves and that they only want to see what they choose to see.

Well loan repayment is clearly capitalist tyranny, so not paying those back is no failure at all.

None of this would be a problem if the rich would just pay their FAIR SHARE™.

It’s those one-percenters I tell you!

Just like they always have and always will.

“It’s a better more fair system that’s never been given a good chance before.”

And saps will fall for it like all the others who did.

It’s almost prophetic Greece shines as Socialism’s worse mistake.. (currently)
Since democracy CAUSES socialism.. it’s the political disease
that causes Socialism..

Actually Russia and China are the worse mistakes..
but then they both have turned to Fascism like AMERICA..

Pity that Fascism and Communism are BOTH SOCIALIST...
Mob Rule(democracy) has it’s inherent problems..

The Rubes chew grass(or smoke it) like the Sheep they are..
Bleating for “fairness”.. but it’s always somebody ELSE that needs to be fair to them..
They don’t have a fair bone in their cadaver..
