The college kids wanting the old rich people to pay for everything, not realizing that when the old rich people die off, they aren't getting anything. And now that they have no real skills in life, they can't get good jobs that would make them much better off.

I don't really blame the current generation for this. I blame the baby boomers who raised the Gen X'ers (my generation) to be lazy parents and raise a bunch of ignorant, spoiled brats.

It's also the baby boomers who grew up through the 60's and 70's, thinking communism was a good thing and are now teaching this current generation (millennials) in colleges across the country.

I'm pretty sure the Baby Boomers were against the war in Vietnam, not pro-communism. There's a difference.

Because those protests are well documented, and has been since the 60s. It's historical fact, though I know you libbies like to try to rewrite history you don't like.
Girl in the bottom picture is Jane Fonda, look it up. memorial in the top picture is at Grant Park, and the protest took place at the DNC in chicago, 1968.

"Find where in one of my posts I said the word "all" and I'll concede the point to you."

You didn't use the word "all" directly, but rather you accused hippies of being communists. If it helps, you did state that those protestors in your pictures became today's professors.

"I showed you photo evidence of people flying communists flags from a US memorial (which is what I first claimed, and you asked for evidence), and your first response was "fake news". So trying to call me out for trying to negate any stance you made is pretty disingenuous to begin with. Don't cast the first stone trying to discredit and maybe nobody will follow suit."

Fair enough. Well done. I did experience the fake news argument for 2 years though.

I'm sorry if it's all black and white with imperialism and communism, let alone any stance against capitalism. May I remind you that centrism still exists?

I'm also sorry if it's black and white with liberal and conservatives, as you called me a "libby" as a way to negate any stance I made. I consider myself a moderate left; I can irritate both sides at my leisure, and I hate straight out labels such as "liberal".

Jane Fonda obviously represents all of the protestors' ideals. I looked up the Green Park protest and didn't see anything about communism, but rather a divide of the party over the war and civil rights.

Sure, because if there is one thing people from 60's America are famous for, it's their love of communism.

A) I'm not sure there's proof that an image of some democrats holding signs confirms that an entire generation (pay close attention to the word "entire", which I am quite sure is mere rhetoric) hasn't been taught economics.

B) I'm not part of the Democratic party, but voting democrat doesn't make one an ignorant fool, and neither does voting Republican. (It's still an intellectual decision not to take sides, though) Let's face it, the fact that Donald Trump is president won't be able to fix the economy, yet several still voted for him, not because they cared about the economy though.

C) Bernie was better than Hillary. By friggin' miles. Bernie payed more attention to actual issues in America while Hillary tried to attract the attention of very manipulative millennials...

I never said that the democratic parents were the cause of the economic issue. I said they're the reason why people don't understand or even believe parts of our constitution. Also I meant generally, democrats act like this. I have friends who's families don't take part in political issues like this but many extremists do.

I do not think it is the teachers faults. They are teaching the kids everything they need to know. It's the kids and the parents fault because the parents aren't pushing they're kids to strive and the kid aren't pushing themselves. I do agree that this is a problem though.

And it's not the schools fault that people don't understand the constitution, it's the dumb leftists and the way they're raising they're children.

It is nobody's "fault" in particular because it is all going according to plan.
The only "fault" has to be shared between all citizens who don't come together and demand and lobby for school choice and other affordable alternatives to public, socialized, indoctrination camps.

Technically speaking nothing in the Constitution is against communism.
4 ups, 7y
What? Excerpt from the constitution.
Section 1
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

This is a communist government: A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.

Free speech will not be allowed under communism the reason why is it will cause a uprising where people will attempt to overthrow the government so totalitarian control is required communism requires a dictatorship why because if they get someone else in they will try to reverse the effects of it back to the free market

In 'Das Kapital' and 'The Communist Manifesto' it never states that Freedom of Speech needs to be repressed.
Of course, thats not taking in account how every Communist country ever restricted Freedom of Speech (not to mention completely failed because communism simply doesn't work as a system of government)
But still, no where does Karl Marx say anything out of line to the Constitution.

Democrats want to re-write history and republicans want to erase it. As the constitution goes? It died long ago. Legislated from existence

Exactly. Their argument is that the constitution was written by old white men who owned slaves. Which is true, but that doesn't mean anything those men were brilliant.

Actually? SOME owned slaves and from my understanding most of them freed them upon winning the war etc. I'll disagree MOST OF IT was pretty good...it's those criminals who followed that began to destroy it and did so by design..

What I heard:

“Our government-run public education system has failed to indoctrinate an entire generation to 100% support capitalism. The result is people trying to look for an alternative as they are unhappy with the status quo.”

I stand for freewill and rights for all, however in my opinnion a free marletplace society is a failure...unless there is constant continuous growth. Without a growing population or immigration, the economy weakens and its a rolling train without brakes. This is why immigration is allowed. Because the new borns have slowed to an unsustainable rate. This is why the CIA dumps drugs and guns into the city's streets.. To lower the population and therefore the available amount of workable unemployeed. This is why the freest nation on earth has the highest prison population. I would rather be here than anywhere. Its a dog eat dog society - only the strong survive - GET ON IT!

If the immigrants would become legal citizens and do everything they're SUPPOSED to do, then it wouldn't be a problem. ( possibly overpopulation, but that's not gonna be a problem anytime soon.) But not paying taxes harms the economy. Lots of immigrants do this, but for the ones that don't... I don't want them in my country.

All the immigrants I've ever worked with doing construction do pay taxes. Perhaps it's time you read what it says on the statute of liberty. It's obvious your completely ignorant.

You have no clue what the Statute of Liberty stands for do you? You do realize the only true natives of America are Indians don't you? Maybe it's time for you to get educated or continue with your hypocritical ignorance.

listen man, I am completely fine with immigrants who come into our country seeking opportunity, I don't disagree with the statue of Liberty. Besides, immigrants were actually important back when America was just a few colonies. They aren't now. I also didn't say that EVERY SINGLE IMMIGRANT DOESN'T PAY TAXES. YOU decided to imply that. I said some don't, some do. Also a handful of people you have worked with doesn't prove anything. You are not a superior person because you decide to waste time making memes. Personally I think you are an insult to humanity. You're a douche bag memes, calling me a fool and a dipshit. Really? Maybe it is time for me to get educated, I don't know. But it is certainly time for you to go get your attitude in check. I've told you exactly what I think without using any profanity, (Except or reciting the things you said about me) and I refuse to discuss this any further. This is a ridiculous waste of time. Do you know the expression don't wrestle with pigs? It means don't get into arguments you can't win because you and the pig are both going to get dirty and the pig likes it. You are the pig in this situation. How about you continue with YOUR hypocritical ignorance.

The looser in a debate will always cut out, refusing to continue debating or resort to name calling. Ever try to put togethor a concrete pouring crew? Or how about getting your drywall hung? Landscape?? The sad fact is that not many Americans are willing to do these jobs...and unfortunately they need done. I value your opinion and everyone elses. If you respect me, I respect you. If you disrespect me, I disrespect you. I think what it clearly comes down to is a failed government incapable of compromising and legislating an immigration law that works. Or maybe its the corporations that own and buy congress that benefit the most from undocumented workers. They've always been pretty good at dividing us and making us bicker and blame each other...maybe someday we will become wise enough to unite against the real enemy.. The elite and rich that keep us down

I do not agree with the statement "The looser in a debate will always cut out" . Also, I believe that the logic "If you disrespect me, I disrespect you" is the complete opposite of what to do. People disrespected Jesus, (If you want to put it that way, what they did was way worse) and he died for them. Do you think when God flooded the earth, that it was the right thing to do? Noah pleaded with God to make sure that never happened again. And I really think that it's the people who are getting in the way of our governments decision making.
