Why do modern collectivists believe that a penis is a social contruct and that human nature is uncorruptible when it comes to sexuality, yet the innate human desire to be free can be somehow socially engineered right out of a m'f'er?

So you are saying its ok to kidnap and use force to indoctrinate people to live the way you want them to, or else revoke their citizenship bc they disagree with you?
And you dont see the hypocrisy. SMFH

Why do Socialism Deniers ignore the overwhelming evidence that Socialism doesn't work by cokebottleag
This is why, for a period of time, liberals rode the USSR's cock. Then, they rode Cubas. Then, they rode Venezuela's.
They think that when you pass a policy, if it doesn't cause the nation to melt into the ocean in the first week, then those who warned of the dangers were wrong.
Here. I'll help. If tomorrow, the United States did exactly what Hugo Chavez did and nationalized just about everything, it would be like manna from heaven.
For a period of time, rank and file Americans would be THRILLED. It would seem completely awesome.
It's like passing out the results of the best farmer's crops to everyone. In year 1, that shite seems great. But, it completely ignores the drivers for why that farmer did so well.
Socialists see all the booty nations build while not socialist and thing, "cool, pass that shite out".
They never seem to grasp why that booty was accumulated in the first place.
And, when they see the RESULTS of this path elsewhere, because it doesn't happen IMMEDIATELY, they can't bring themselves to admit the proximate cause.

Nothing can be done. It's a belief system that cannot be falsified to the believer.
Those who push the most for it don't actually live in it and cling to the ideal. Those who live in it get accustomed to it and can't imagine life otherwise. Those who don't live in it but see the downsides to it as it exists in other countries still cling to the ideal and think that those other countries didn't implement it effectively.

Most Americans do not favor 100% socialism.
That's enough Rush Limbaugh for the day
Most ppl with any sense realize we have a mixed economy which is failing because of corruption and exploitation. Fixing that is the goal but then you dumbasses elected Donald Trump who happens to personify the issue
Just lol folks

Can we get a definition of "failing" here?
I mean, I'm not completely happy with the U.S. economy, but, I mean.......I've seen the rest of the world. If we're failing..........
But, to your point. My problem with the left is when they CORRECTLY identify that the strong centralized government is corruptible but believe the solution to this is to give the strong centralized government more power to police up the corruption it is ALREADY proven to be susceptible to.
I have never for 1 minute comprehended why liberals fear private enterprise power MORE than government power.
Both are prone to abuse. But, only one owns the tanks, jails and the police and has the power of law behind it.
The worst run companies of the 1950s are gone.
The worst government ideas of the 1950s are expanded.

Prisons, healthcare, internet provider options etc are all epic privatized failures
But "muh socialism" fear mongerers are too low IQ to realize we'd be better off if certain aspects of society were not privatized

All of these sectors are heavily regulated, and in the case of prisons, the entire demand curve is from government entities, not private consumers.

internet provider options

The whole idea of for profit prisons just seems beyond backwards to me
Posted on 4/28/17 at 1:27 pm to ShortyRob
Oh, and I asked for a definition of "failing" in terms of our "economy".
I mean........if we're failing........the ain't no one succeeding.

To describe our healthcare system as a failure is to absolutely deny reality.
And the answer to limited internet provider options is to grant sole control to the government?

Not quite, but thanks for playing. I'm saying our republic is based upon capitalism, and the Constitution. If your only contribution to society is to advocate the destruction of those two things, to be replaced with your failed ideology, proven time and again, you should not have the privilege of living off of the fruits that the system you want to destroy produces.

Exactly. I can objectively say that ISPs and prisons are generally much better when they are not privatized as they are in the US.
The best society is the one that mixes private industry with government in the right combination.

Yeah what could go wrong with allowing the US government to be the sole provider of the internet? Jesus Christ.
