Capitalism is the language of Marx (Although he did not invent the word). The 'free market' is more profound and difficult to defend against.

With the 'free market' you can deflate their arguments such as Corporatism/manipulation which they believe arises out of Capitalism.

Get them on the defensive from a POV concerning why government should be limited; enumerated powers, balanced budgets or if need be manageable debt that can be paid off, government being a neutral Party concerning the private sector, why bureaucracies Socialists promote are perpetually corrupt, etc...

Capitalism like the label conservative, is just used as buzz words in trying to shut down arguments through generalities. Get them thinking and away from memes.

Socialism: I work so that those who don’t can have things. Or, From each according to his means to each according to his need.

Capitalism: Everyone works so that no one wants. Or, From each according to his means, to each according to his contribution.

Text books are a huge scam. Readers and pdf’s could save a fortune.

With $1,000 dollars in SS payments, a couple can retire to Panama and live easily on that income.

I would like to stay and fight but the progressive policies of this nation are not friendly to Christians. I see them losing their jobs, Brandon Eich, losing their business' Mellisa Sweet Cakes. We are also big land owners where the regulations on our usage of land and water are being monitored by officials. Same officials who keep implementing more and more regulations and restrictions on our own land, limiting our own use. What is the point of owning a piece of America, if others that have no interest can dictate what you can and cannot do on your own paid for property?

It seems as more and more time goes by the more vulnerable we become to the boot of the state. Bye bye America it was a great ride, my family settled in America from England in the 1600's but who cares?

Some do it already. Some classes are offered online. You might find that the biggest expense are the professors salaries.

Thanks for the pointer.

And all well said. And it isn’t a matter of if but when.

[spintreebob]

You are right. Control of the language does matter.

[redgolum]

You are correct.

Which begs the question. Why did the bail happen in with an administration and Congress that was supposed to be opposed to socialism?
We have socialism here. What many Mills are asking for is to be paid. Not good, but you have to step back and see the point.

[redgolum]

Trump may well be part of the problem.

Honestly, the bills are so large there is no way out. There will have to be a national default, and a lot of pain.

Countries fall because of that.

Take a whip, a chair, and a gun.

I stand relieved. My son came to his senses :)
