couldn't you have picked a bigger territory to make your point? I mean they are right next to each other. Makes it sound like only a regional problem.

Oh look, another moron who doesn't know what socialism is.

I like the college "but that wasn't true socialism" socialists. You already know their argument so you don't have to bother listening.

Seems to me you don't know jack, including the definitions of words. Not surprising for your ilk.

Are you aware of the death and destruction the US has caused over the last 60 years? Just so corporations can sell more weapons? Let's not forget that Capitalism can be just as murderous as whatever evil socialism you're referencing.

The United States became a growing socialist atrocity since FDR. We're reaping the harvest now.

You are now blaming US violence on socialism? It's imperialism, classic capitalistic development. You think we invaded the middle east to spread our social democracy?

Capitalism made us powerful. Socialism will make us weak.

Yes which is why i cross posted this from my fake safe space /v/EarlyStageSocialism
America is in early stage socialism, and it will only get worse from here.

you are confusing fascism with socialism, again. Socialism is what the US tried from the 1920s to the 2010s, and it has failed. Time for the corporations to run the government and the people.

Let's try socialism running without CIA dirty ops. Socialism worked great in europe for decades until the current whackjob extremists took over.

There's that "S" word again. It's such a bad word. You do realize that in America we have several "socialist" programs that we all pay into like firefighters, police, libraries and road repair. So when you talk about how awful socialism is remember to only bring up the parts that suit your fear mongering agenda.

He exclaimed to the internet, seemingly oblivious to socialism's role in creating the internet.

LOL do you even live in Canada? You must be aware that we're a shrinking country without immigration.
