I like it so much because you add a dimension to the conversation by showing how these far left, ANITFA-like punks & social justice weariers, though quite dangerous, are just brainwashed college kids —confidently mimicking what their their out of touch teachers ingrained programmed them to say.

2019 STAVKA 100 | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Stavka, your clear-thinking is to applauded; your courage to speak out, to be admired. Thank you, for telling your firsthand story to the Pro-Communists and freewheeling Socials who would take away the very freedom in the constitution that by law protects them.

Wanting to improve healthcare with a single payer system, in no way would turn America into the Soviet Union.

Only under our modern radical right, could a single payer system that would unleash American creativity and small business, be used as a tool to promote fear and the status quo as the nation with the worst healthcare system of all 1st world country's.

Who said anything about healthcare? Are you so narrow minded that you're unable to see how everything is connected?

When I predicted food shortages the day Venezuela nationalized the petroleum industry, narrow minded fools called me all the names in the world. They didn't know how economics work either.

When exactly will we nationalize the petroleum industry?

What other things are the left talking about that is worrying the right in terms of socialism, if not healthcare?

Everything the left said about Obamacare didn't come true. Most of the things the right said would happen did happen. Now the left is again making ridiculous claims about the NEXT proposal, which is now very necessary to fix their last failed proposal.

Like all the leftist bloggers in NYC complaining about higher restaurants costs and slow waits after demanding a minimum wage increase … without willing to realize that one had direct impact on the other.

There is truth to the left creating problems. But, they are problems created through trying to make things better for people. There is nothing wrong with that. Obamacare was an attempt to fix our healthcare system. Had the right helped, we may be much closer to fixing it by now. Instead, they chose to make it worse.

We have the worst and most expensive healthcare in the entire first world.

In terms of minimum wage increases; Either you are for increased minimum wage or you are for increased government. 45% of the working poor with families hold jobs that pay minimum wage and need gov help. There is no way to support a free market economy while supporting an increase in gov through food programs for the working poor. It's a complete contradiction.

The right has been trying to help all along, but the left always shuts down proposals. The left simply refuses to understand that Healthcare is comprised of two industries, healthcare services (doctors, hospitals) and managed healthcare (insurance companies). The right wants to leave the first alone (because we have the best healthcare services in the world) and reform the later, the left wants to reform the first for the benefit of the later. The proof of that statement, is that the right wanted to fix the system through tort reform (which would bring down costs for healthcare providers) and wanted increased competition by removing interstate restrictions. The left however wanted Obamacare, which only put more restrictions on healthcare services, but forced every citizen to buy insurance from private companies, fined those that couldn't afford it, and never put any controls on those private companies about raising rates. This was created to fail … and now when even the biggest Obamacare supporters are having to admit what a total failure it turned out to be, they STILL think their ideas are better.

We're ranked 11th in healthcare. We are not first in ANY metric related to healthcare. The UK is ranked first with a cost per capita at $3,405. Our cost is 8,508.

Again, forcing people to pay for healthcare is forcing personal responsibility. There is nothing remaining of the foundational principals on the GOP side. NOTHING. Personal responsibility? No. Conservative spending? No. Decency, moral authority? Absolutely not.

We have the best healthcare in the world. That means quality. Cost is a separate metric.

Personal responsibility means doing the right thing without being forced. Being forced to do something for others is called slavery. How can you be so wrong about such simple concepts?

You're either stupid or ill informed. Neither bodes well for you. The U.S. has the highest rate of deaths related to healthcare among comparable wealthy countries. The disease burden is significantly higher for U.S. citizens to comparable countries. Hospital admissions for preventable diseases are much higher in the U.S. vs comparable countries. The U.S. has a higher rate than all comparable countries, in medical, medication and lab errors. Post op surgical ruptures are more than twice as likely in the U.S. vs the U.K. Mortality rates for respiratory diseases is higher in the U.S. than any other wealthy country. Patients in the U.S. HAVE THE LONGEST WAIT FOR A DOCTOR OR NURSE VISIT to any other comparable country.

WE DO NOT HAVE THE BEST HEALTHCARE!

We pay nearly 3 times as much as people in the U.K.

So given your personal responsibility definition, you must feel that a woman has the right to choose abortion? Or, do you believe in slavery?

As a society and yes, WE ARE A SOCIETY. You can't get away from the SOCIAL in society. If you ride a motorcycle without a helmet and insurance, I have to pay more for your stupidity. I'd rather force you into slavery and make you wear a helmet and be personally responsible because riding a motorcycle is not a right, it is a privilege.

You're wasting your time.

Ask Mr We what State he supposedly lives in. Hell, he won't even tell you if there's snow outside because he doesn't live here.

And just like any of the rest who overemphasize "we" and "us" and "our" on this site, his refrain of claims to be Russian is suspect as well.

Same for reading 1984. If he really did and has lived in both the USSR and USA, he would see similarities both have with the book. The story was, after all, about THREE world powers who all ruled the same way and played the same bogus games to manipulate and control the ignorant masses, a constant state of (fake) war while the minions point to the latest allied force configuration as the enemy.
1984 was about 1948.
And it's about 2019 too.

Stavka100 is a faker.

Me and every other Soviet immigrant in the world. Wasn't a hard call. You can call whatever your ignorant mind wants to call, but it wasn't exactly a secret. Bread lines, ration cards, that's just history repeating itself … it is a result of someone else saying that a horrible idea will be great when I do it.

Ironically the only time there were lines for gas in the USA was during the 1970s energy crisis, which was caused by OPEC working the free market to its advantage.
Otherwise, the oil industry IS socialism. The goverment subsisdies which halve prices were intended to help build infrastructure when it was new. It's not that new anymore.

You still don't live here either, so cut it.

*and no,you are not getting your credibility card back.i'll keep that until you produce some verifiable,factual information to back up your claims.

Ironically, Orwell HIMSELF was a democratic socialist. Though I understand why his books are often referred to in arguments against socialism.
