Idealogy is for simple minds

Real socialism is like my girlfriend.

It doesn't exist.

You're mean sir.

I wish I had both

Sorry my guy

The NEW LEFT was new in for the 1960's counterculture.
Appears to be regurgitated by BOOMERS in their grandchildren through Technocracy

Q: Sprinkle a little race card into the Frankfurt School and what does one get ?

A: DEI and CRT

Fairly straight line from Marxism through rebranding as Democrat Socialism of "democracy" whiners

When did the Marxist take over the Democratic Party? I miss the old Democratic Party that looked after farmers, workers, and the poor.

"I miss the old Democratic Party that looked after farmers, workers, and the poor."

Sure as long as you were a White farmer, worker, or poor.

Socialized healthcare is great...

A woman in the UK, 97, was found dead on the floor of her home after being told she would have to wait ten days for an ambulance for a suspected hip break

Proof?

It was in the coroner's report...

Can I see

The flaw in socialism is human. It ignores their imperfection.

If socialism always fails, why have we spent the last half century sabotaging the Cuban government with attempted coups and sanctions? Surely if we left them to their own devices they would fail on their own, right?

USSR and Eastern Europe failed on their own. China and Vietnam gave up on socialim and became market economies. If folk in Cuba and Venszuela could vote, do you think they would vote for socialism? Socialism fails 100%.

Let's not forget the body count. How many people did Madmanami get killed during that cold snap because of socialist policy? 19?

Socialism requires human sacrifice. The socialist gods must be apeased.

wha?

You still haven’t answered my question. If Cuba will inevitably fail on its own, why are we interfering?

It’s been 60 years, there is a whole world besides the US. The Cuban people are victims of a dictatorship. Socialisms flaw is they forgot that those who destroyed the power of the capitalists, acted exactly the same as capitalists without any checks or opposition. The US isnt the reason Cuba is a failed state of poverty.

US imposed sanctions are THE reason why Cuba is poor. It's also why the USSR was poorer, while China is poised to become the number one economy on the planet.

Communist countries are poor because of communism. Chinas prosperity is a direct result of incorporating limited capitalism while retaining communist party control and the detente of the 70’s foreign policy that awarded special status for developing economies like China.

China's prosperity is a direct result of being granted Most Favored Nation Trade Status and also becoming the manufacturing hub of the United States. Its ascendancy and the decline of the US are both part of the same economic relationship.

When copypasting, you should cite the source. Even if it's AI generated.

No copy paste involved. I know it’s hard to fathom that there are people able to do what you can’t and don’t need to copy paste to articulate their thoughts or knowledge.

So what I said about China. Thanks for affirming my thoughts. China isn’t prosperous because of Communism. No country is.

Guy went from you're your and they're their to articulating thoughts and knowledge about détente, and didn't pick up on the cherry I left for him to see if he would notice in case he's actually managed to learn something about the subject and knew what he was talking about.
He didn't.

Your self identifying as my teacher is cute. Keep trying little engine.

"Bluessol

Your self identifying as my teacher is cute. Keep trying little engine."

Your self-identifying* as my teacher is cute. Keep trying,* Little Engine.*

Now that's the you I was saying about. The irony.
But you did get, "your," correct, so that's progress.

Socialism is a good idea but not that good in practice unless everyone else agrees to it.

Does it sometimes work yes but the more people the harder it gets

Power is concentrated. No balance of power. Socialism always fails.

That's not socialism. That's quite literally the complete opposite of its definition and purpose.

It's basically Christianity. That's why it sucks.

Not sure what you mean. It's Cristianity?

Socialism

True that

Sustained US sanctions on the USSR are what caused it to fall.

China did not become a market economy, its economy is still state owned, controlled, and planned. China, and Vietnam as well, have Most Favored Nation Trade Status. Without sanctions from the US as was put on the USSR, as well as being paid to manufacture everything for the US has made them quite rich, while the US slides. The issue isn't Communism versus Capitalism, it's simple math.
.
People in Cuba and Venezuela do vote.

“People in Cuba and Venezuela do vote.“

But it doesn’t matter because Castro and Maduro manipulate the numbers like all socialists and communists.

In Socialism and Communism you can't manipulate the numbers because the people are the numbers.

😂 so communist elections are the most secure and fair in the world? Where have I heard that before. 🤔

Where have you heard that before? In your comment right now.

Commie Donnie even stated that he had this past election rigged.
That's hardly particularly secure and fair.
