They'll explain it faster than it takes them to buy a loaf of bread and a roll of toilet paper.. much.. much faster. Calling Venezuela Socialist, is like calling China Communist. Neither are either. What you're doing is accepting intentionally failed implementations as the definition, which in itself is one of the most dangerous things a person can do ideologically. It's dehumanizing and denigrating opposing viewpoints. This is pretty much my point. The countries you named are Dictatorships and Oligarchies. They are Communists and Socialists by name only, not in government. Edited November 10, 2016 by Dairuka 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Thought the Berlin Wall was torn down in 89, I guess it's time for another small fear mongering hatemonger to build another one. It galls me to think that folks forget easily their history and see it repeated, and now that same type of person has been elected president. Sanders and Clinton aside, it's amazing that the people voted for such a tyrant, but when you prey upon the fears and insecurities of those people it's no wonder. Funny how the same demographic that voted for him are now the ones going to be screwed over by him in the upcoming years. Go back, watch some of his speaches, then look up the historical recordings of another mans speaches and you will see similirities that will send shivers down your spine.

The bolsheviks came the closest to founding a true socialist state, until Lenin died and the power hungry, insecure Stalin took control during the power vaccum and took out anyone who was a threat to him, solidifying his control. Man, if Lenin hadn't died... the soviet union may have turned out to be a hell of a lot better off than it did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every single movement and political change comes about through a clever politician or two doing the same few simple things. Exploit the fears of the people, tell them their safety or freedom is in danger. Tell them whichever group you want to go against is responsible for this danger, tell them anyone who disagrees is probably a danger too. Tell them you'll get rid of the danger unlike these other wimpy politicians because you're not scared. Tell your people how you're just like them, so their voices will be heard. More or less always follows that pattern. UKIP did with Brexit, most political parties use it against their rival political parties in elections, like last year in the UK and now recently in the US one. People are too dumb to just think for themselves usually or atleast see when they're being taken advantage of. It's quite depressing but meh, what can you do. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What exactly is wrong with a border fence, as their been a few large ones on the Southern US border for years in which both parties agree and has over 70-80 % approval rating A complete fence more of a prevention measure for smuggling contraband, as the majority of unlawful immigrants go though our airports, ports and border crossing to get into the US ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sanders and Clinton aside, it's amazing that the people voted for such a tyrant" What makes Trump a Tyrant?

Posted November 14, 2016 Well... based on Trump's previous MO, the government will buy his food from Trump Foods, Inc. He's handy at the corporate shell game, or at least the accountants and lawyers are, especially when it comes to shielding personal wealth and assets. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He supports his argument quite well on why those friends of yours are shooting themselves in the foot with their behaviour (for example, people no longer know how to actually hold a discussion, instead shooting down any attempt at one by using labels/attacks).
