I once told a horrified Polish diplomat (post USSR) that the Russian revolution didn't come out of nowhere and when people have little and see no way to get ahead that violent advocacy for a system that promises to redistribute the wealth is kind of inevitable. |
Yes, and look at Russia today. Citizens were given a share in all their companies and industries during federalization. They all sold their shares back to the federation and now ir's run by three dozen oligarchs and a useless Duma. Hey, Russia actually has one aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov! It catches fire every time it sails, kills a bunch of sailors and has to be towed back into port. Now, how about those "legitimate points" socialists (AKA The DNC) has to make.

The RNC and DNC are the most capitalistic sleazy private entities in the world. Find a brain. |
Agree. I despise billionaires..they can kiss my you.know.what. |
You're missing the point, as did the horrified Polish diplomat - it's not about the outcome in a generation or two (I was referring to the 1917 Russian revolution) it's about maintaining structural inequality so that the citizenry gets to the point where it will look for any solution because the traditional ones have all failed. |
Stop voting for people who ignore the 99.9% and instead take their orders from the 0.1% |
On Monday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) stated that “the immigration policy, where we have a million and a half less people in the workforce right now, it’s causing more overtime and having to hire people at higher wages.” And that is one thing causing upward pressure on prices. Declining migration and the resulting wage gains are bad because they create “affordability” problems, Democrat Rep. Tom Suozzi (NY) told News Nation on Tuesday. We have to look at all the different factors, even the immigration policy, where we have a million and a half less [migrant] people in the workforce right now, it’s causing more overtime and having to hire people at higher wages. These are all upward pressure[s] on people’s prices. Democrats like Tom Suozzi have abandoned US workers to grovel at the feet of educated urban elites. |

no US worker should ever vote Democrat! |
There aren't "US Workers" willing to do the work on farms, slaughterhouses, construction, so the ones that are, are getting paid more, but there are more farms going under and more construction companies going under - a slaughterhouse in Nebraska shut down completely, decimating the small town there. How is that a good thing? |

It isn't about socialism.
It is about capitalism, but with guardrails, so workers and consumers are not totally exploited, and corporations cannot decimate natural resources. Hence, taxes, unions and regulations to protect the common good. But "conservatives" going back to before the New Deal, have HATED these things. Yet, America was at its best when the CEOs were only making 20-30x the line workers, taxes were over 50% and the regulatory infrastructure was strong. It has been going downhill ever since Reagan started to dismantle it and then Newt Gingrich made partisanship a binary "win or lose" game. |

It isn't up to the US government to allocate spaces for admissions to a private university. THAT would be the very SoCiALiSm the right cries about every day. Maybe those foreign students were extraordinary applicants that the others simply couldn't measure up to. |
No, as someone who sits on a committee, I can say that there is a ceiling to how extraordinary or different from your peers that you can be as a medical residency candidate. Same with foreign college applicants. Spend some time on Reddit. The "extraordinary" foreign students have the same grades, SAT scores and extracurriculars as the American students who are denied. There's a ceiling on how fabulous an 18 year old can be. I hate this administration but I also disagree that foreign candidates to elite universities are vastly superior to the American candidates who were denied. No, what they bring to the table is diversity. Fair enough but stop saying that they are somehow all better qualified. |
