The Left don't care, because the people in these socialist paradise countries enjoy FREE HEALTHCARE !!??!!!
IF these socialist countries have Open Border policies, the Left would die of bliss ......

Nobody thinks that a well-known naturalized citizen who famously emigrated from India can pass for a “natural born citizen."
Or, what I heard years ago:
Capitalism: The unequal distribution of wealth.
Socialism: The equal distribution of misery.
Communism: Socialism with a gun at your head.
Number 6 is the one that fascinates me, which is why cities like Detroit & San Fransisco & countries like Venezuela are literally $hitholes.
For the life of me, I cannot see why people perpetually keep voting for a perpetually degrading quality of life.
Excellent! Well said and correctly explained...
“I cannot see why people perpetually keep voting for a perpetually degrading quality of life.”
Hey - at least we’re all equal!

Karl Marx: The father of the Struggle. Marx is the hero of Democrats everywhere. He showed us the evils of Wealth and Profit. His hatred of the business community is the model for all the hate that’s accrued in the Liberal heart down through the decades. Once Liberals discovered that Socialist Hate would be tolerated (even encouraged) by college teachers, the Washington Post, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, CNN, in fact almost the entire spectrum of TV’s news and political departments, Hollywood stars, and millions of envious, victimized Leftists on the street, the malignant contempt inherent in Marxism rose like a mist into the American Democratic soul where it festered into the omni-directional fire hose of rage against anyone and anything normal and wholesome that we see today. Nowadays, anyone who has the temerity to disagree with any Liberal cause of any sort instantly incurs such venomous wrath that it’s like the doors of Hades itself have been thrown open to wreak vengeance on him. Reviled and castigated as a Mean Spirited enemy of the People, a devilish killer-Nazi (hell bent on destroying the Future), a bigot, a sexist, a racist, Christian Right Wing Extremist, and a whole host of ever-new, ever-creative invectives, slanders, and slurs, all designed to destroy him, these charges will follow him around forever, reinforced daily as they filter throughout the Democratic Network. Inevitably the lies prevail and the person is disgraced, an eternal political pariah.
While Karl Marx is seldom publicly recognized as the undercurrent of Democratic Party politics, his legacy of victimology-inspired “class ethnic gender envy” -based Good Hate lives on, healthy and strong, in the heart of today’s Leftists.
Rights: Powers, Privileges, Freedoms and handouts that issue forth from the Government and flow down to the People. Despite the Constitutional claim that rights come from God and are merely guaranteed by the Government, Liberals view the Government as the eternal wellspring of every type and sort of new right that they can imagine. These new, fictitious rights include: Free decent housing; free food, clothing, education; free health services, good paying employment, economic security, and a classless society wherein all traditional oppressors are gone and their traditional victims are elevated to the noble status they’ve been denied all along. Federalizing the assets of the Fat Cats is the only way to accomplish these wonderful goals.

Great post
See my tagline
Libertarianism and anarchism are not on the right.
Thar be truth there.
BELTWAY RINOISM
You take the two cows, sell them to the Chinese
and lay-off the farmer. Then you import milk from
China at 5000% markup, take your kickbacks, and tell
the voters that this new globalism will be good for
them in the long run.
Dear Olog-hai,
This is a scale based on government control, so yes, these two belong on the right, on this scale. I stand my ground.
You can replace the scale of “government control” with anything you wish (i.e., taxes, regulations, war-mongering, bake sales, bowling tournaments, etc.), and the adjustment of political affiliations will naturally happen on the respective scales.
BTW, I love to illustrate this scale to lefties...es-plodey head reaction. Also, this scale offers such a good teaching moment, like now.
The Founding Fathers were not anarchists. Nor did they envision government legislation of moral behavior, but for the people to be of such high character as to do that themselves and to have a federal government that gave them the freedom to do so. The possibility of illustrating the Founding Fathers as being to the left of anarchists and/or to the left of libertarians is to mistake their legacy and possibly to insult them. The US Constitution does not stand for so-called “government control” especially of that which is supposed to be private; it was to have left the true sovereignty to God. The Declaration of Independence did not envision government-less society either; is it to the “left” of anarchy?
Karl Marx tried to pander to anarchists by painting communism as having no government, the state to have “wither(ed) away” and replaced by (as he put it) “an association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all”. That was no attempt to woo anyone who might be on the right side of any political spectrum, not even from how he envisioned it.
That seems to be how things are going these days :)
LOL GOOD ONE
