Socialism imposed by dictators is different than the people elected a government and making decisions. Can you understand that? I usually just laugh at your posts but this one takes the cake. Educate me. How is socialism different when it is implemented by elected officials vs dictators? This ought to be a doosey. What a mess. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is socialism different when it is implemented by elected officials vs dictators? This ought to be a doosey. What a mess. Our friend fails to inform us that ultimately even "elected" socialist systems degenerate into the dictatorship model. The reality that the most productive members of society will choose to exit such a situation must be dealt with by forcing them to stay. And as democratic societies work they generally do not share this characteristic. So government force and coercion becomes a necessity. But the fatal flaw of socialism and communism is they ultimately descend into the equal distribution of nothing. Poverty for everyone but the political elite. If you want a firsthand assessment find somebody like my acquaintances that grew up under the Soviet system and watched it fall prior to emigrating the US. They think the lefties here are at best naive idiots and at worst a danger to freedom and democracy to desire such a system. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frat-Train Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 The irony of this thread (and forum) is nobody is in true disagreement of how awful socialism and communism are. There’s just 2-3 posters (and their many sub accounts) that spend day in and out pretending they welcome it, just to get a rise out of people. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spent many, many of days in Venezuela and watched what has happened first hand. I am well aware of their political system. I am well aware of Jimmy Carter going down there to judge their elections, elections that were "democratically" conducted, as he endorsed them. Otherwise, he would not have gone. Want to tell Jimmy that it is not a "democracy?" He went down there to endorse a dictatorship? I would prefer to not insult posters here, but you sir, are absolutely ignorant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
