Socialist, ignorant or evil?

[Chris]

You stupidly claimed that capitalism is run by somebody. Step away from your stupid statement and no one will get hurt.

That is not capitalism. Nice try.

Not according to the ideal you define and declare.

I'm trying to describe reality.

[Chris]

I can't even imagine how such a system would work. Do all the workers get together one day a month and decide on production quotas, engineering goals, sales goals, expenditures on advertising, investment of profits if any, payroll distributions and on and on. How would this even work?

Ah, you say, that's silly. What would happen is certain individuals or groups would be appointed to make those decisions and we are right back where we started from

Take a lesson from the hippie communes of the 60's and 70's. How many are in existence today?

Does our system of liberal democracy and economic liberalism work? Really?

Why not admit you are not describing capitalism. It is the right thing to do. It will make an honest man out of you.

Ad hom is like waving a white flag.

I'd assumed you knew the difference between definition and description.

It is fine with me if you want to remain dishonest. I will note it and move on.

[Sergeant Gleed]

Yes, I am. It's an economic system, or better, a reform of capitalism. See for example, http://thepoliticalforums.com/thread...t-Is-Socialism

You dance around that with your feelings about it.

Yes. Slavery is an economic system.

Since socialism is slavery and capitalism is based on free men making free choices I can only say that you have one seriously $#@!ed up definition of "reform".

[Sergeant Gleed]

Does our system of liberal democracy and economic liberalism work? Really?

No, because Liberals either want to be slave owners or slaves. Liberals are socialists.

Oh! Let me guess, NOW you're going to use a word's definition that existed before the socialists raped it? We're temporarily in the time when the word "boy" didn't mean girk, etc? But only until YOU feel the next need for a definitional shift, probably in your next post?

[Chris]

Yes. Slavery I'd an economic system.

Slavery can be the basis of an economy but it is not an economic system.


I see you like MV depend entirely on personal definitions of your ideals rather than descriptions of any reality. Yes, ideally, capitalism is based on private ownership of property, but realistically, in the US and elsewhere, it includes private, corporate, cooperative and even government ownership and control.

YOUR definition in no way fits the realities of socialism I have described.

I saw thst your couldn't refute the description I provided.

You lack the core dishonesty of your masters and will not like what you are trying to achieve if your betters allow you to do that evil thing to them

Socialism IS slavery. There are other forms of slavery. Clearly not all forms of slavery are socialism.

But slavery IS the foundation of ALL socialist scams.
