A lot of socialist concepts need to be talked out. There are aspects of socialism that DO work however some tweaking for a country like America is necessary. My formally hardcore right wing Grand parents recently learned of the benefits to the Oregon medical system. In the industrial revolution, the government stepped in to stop Carnegie from become a defacto dictator by giving us anti-trust laws, a proven socialist concept that fairly regulates healthy competition.
The answer is neither pure capitalism nor European style socialism, but aspects that make the most sense to protect workers and small businesses from being regulated by corporations with emphasis on a limited form of government.
Socialism is in opposition to the constitution, period. The constitution is the only power authorized to government, and anything NOT authorized that government does is usurpation of power not granted, in other words, tyranny.
We do not need to entertain socialism, we need to return 100% to the original intent of the constitution, repeal the "amendments" that were passed illegally, eliminate all departments and expenditures not authorized (including all forms of welfare), and force government back into the narrow confines allowed by the constitution. Eliminate all taxes except for those in accordance to the original intent of the constitution. Force government to operate on the budget our founders intended.
Eliminate all regulations on our free market, our businesses, and let each state regulate what is within their purview. What isn't is reserved to the people.
Privatize most services and education to allow free market and freedom of choice dictate what people use or do not use.
This.
Lol. The Constitution is irrelevant when a single corporation controls the economy. So no, I reject your rose tinted fantasy because it ignores the reality that Carnage almost became a defacto tyrant who could have bought the Constitution out of existence.
If the founding fathers saw this joke of an "economy" they would call it out as the slave system it is and revolt against it. They were also highly educated and enlightened individuals who would see that what they started was fine for the time, but more, necessary regulations to prevent corruption are inescapable. Yes, rights are inalienable, but you and many others here continue to FAIL to understand reality. The "free" market is only free until one person has total control of the economic infrastructure.
No. Do not eliminate all regulations. Not everyone plays fair or by the rules. Redactions and repeals? Sure, we can discuss them. Complete deregulation is just as much a foolish fantasy fairytale as communism.
Always been sus of your account, u/GoingCamaro, and your recent comments’ track record is proving itself in that regard.
Me too. He’s a downvote magnet.
So was John Adams and without him there would be no America so thank you for the nice compliment.
Lol. Not sorry that I think for myself and have my own ideas unlike a lot of the insecure types here who can't actually fathom having their ideas challenged.
Notice how you don't have a response and have to resort to pitiful assassination of character just like a rabid leftist.
Socialist concepts do need to be talked about, in the sense that we need to talk to the next generation as to exactly why it’s such a bad idea.
Socialism is the government forcing people to do things they would not do voluntarily. If people wanted to share resources voluntarily, not government action would be needed in the first place.
Anti trust laws aren’t socialism. The fact you think as much shows how little you know about socialism or economics in general. Furthermore, economists like Milton Friedman have demonstrated that most monopolies are due primarily if not exclusively to government interference in the economy in the first place. It is governments that create monopolies through bad policy, then turn around and claim to have the solution to “save” us from a problem they created.
I’m not familiar with Oregon’s medical system. However, every time someone touts the nationalized medical system of countries like Canada or Britain, a native of said country will swiftly correct them and show how these systems encourage bad medical practices and fail to provide basic services in a timely manner. It’s the perfect illustration of why the same org that runs the DMV should never be allowed to touch the infrastructure of any industry.
