That's how socialism works in the real world

The Post spent the last week inside the park, witnessing and reporting on open-air drug use, pipe smoking, hand-to-hand deals and city-funded paraphernalia — needles, crack pipes and food handouts — being distributed in broad daylight. That scene now defines the park.

“I need to introduce someone to you,” challenger Maria “Lou” Calanche told the crowd, hoisting a life-size cardboard cutout of Hernandez. “This is our current council member — who’s MIA.” The room erupted in laughter.

“This district is too important for a no-show,” Calanche said. “She’s skipped three in-person debates. Meanwhile, encampments have swallowed our streets. Parents can’t even take their kids to the park — there’s human waste on the swings.”

“We need action,” she said. “Not a cardboard council member who refuses to show up.”

I'm assuming the person logging into RFK's account today is the same person who has been logging in since the account was created in 2012 but the posts seem to be getting more lame and troll like.

Socialism is a massive scam. There are always people who are get paid at the top. Capitalism is the same but it’s honest about it and gives people a chance to lift themselves out of poverty. Socialism has no movement upwards.

Well, and the biggest difference - a person makes a choice to participate in capitalism. However, they are violently forced to participate in socialism.

Where can I find this in Marx? Or a corollary to the USSR? Or China today?

It’s incredibly evident in China. Members of the CCCP have an average wealth that is about 25% higher than the average citizen. Plus, the average wealth of elites within the party (delegate level) is something like 8-10 times that of the average citizen.

The best way to deal with SloMoFo is to ignore him/her......worked pretty good with DisplacedCuckGuy.

He is 4dummies with bigger tits.

$240k does not get you in Los Angeles what it would in most SEC areas. It's probably worth half of what we perceive it as.

No commentary on the drug infested park, just pointing out the value here.

Why don’t you ask her? She describes her policies as socialism and is endorsed by DSA which she is a member of.

None of this has to do with Marxist theories, at least not directly, it has to do with failed policies that are described as socialism by the policymakers.

You wonder why people think you are a leftist, and this is why. The one contribution you have to the thread is to question the accuracy of the post and article highlighting failed policies rather than those that made them. This is an absolute slam dunk that every person with the smallest bit of integrity can agree on, but here you are poking your head in to distract from it.
