How Much
Does Socialism Cost?
...............................................................................................................................................................................................
First Define Terms.
What IS this Socialism that they are spoken of?
They don't seem to know
Ocasio-Cortez Botches More Questions OnHer Ideology
- Ocasio-Cortez by once again said that she does not know what she is talking about but that she is going to consult left-wing activists to develop her stance on the issue.
She continues to say Democratic Socialism even though she doesn't know what it is.
There's No Such Thing as 'Democratic Socialism'
they define it as
- income equality, a fair living wage for everyone, plentiful employment opportunities, quality healthcare coverage for all, affordable college education for all who want it, easy access to affordable, quality housing, and a tax system where the so-called rich pay their “fair share.”
They propose to achieve that by force.
Socialist issues call to immediately “occupy” all airports, ICE offices
Ocasio-Cortez: Occupy Every Airport!
They don't seem to understand that you can't do just ONE thing. Anytime you do something you affect something else.
They foolishly assume that
- plentiful food available at well-stocked supermarkets, instant access to news, sports and music, the ability to get product information, make purchases and have them delivered the next day, cheap and plentiful fuel availability, an uncountable variety of nonessential consumer goods, from toys to fashion clothing to jewelry to entertainment electronics and their associated services, and millions of other items
It won't.
How's that worked out for other countries that have tried it?
Venezuela perhaps?
Collapsing Economy
Women turn to sex work in Colombia amid economic crisis
'We never thought it would come to this'
How Venezuela's crisis developed and drove out millions of people ...
South Africa?
South African Government Approves The Seizure Of Two White-Owned Farms
The South African government seized farms owned by white South Africans after those farmers refused a government offer of one-tenth their land's value

SOCIALISM HAS FAILED
Every single time it's been implemented by force.
The ironic thing is that unfettered CAPITALISM achieves Socialisms stated goals.
Ya know Socialism did work once. In Germany from 1933-1945. Ever heard of the 5 year economic miracle?
Or maybe it was because Hitler kicked out all the oligarchs and closed down their Central Bank and even bartered German goods to avoid an allied embargo. Run that by Ocasio-Cortez. Not like those eyeballs could bulge any wider anyway. Just sayin ;)
Socialism is like drugs.
Amphetimines.
for a while you feel GREAT and can do amazing things..
then you die.
speed kills
Indeed. Wonder how it all would of turned out if Russia would've went better for the Krauts.
she is just another useful idiot who will be voted for based on race, stupidity, superficiality, lack of historical or political knowledge..
yah I'm just going back to USEFUL IDIOT
useful to who?
the first thing that happens after a revolution is over.
the revolutionaries are killed.
if she wins...she looses.
don't underestimate the power of stupidity. Useful idiots are used for devious causes. They are generally also very dangerous when organized (National Socialist ie Nazi's). "Your Base r belong to Us."
C'mon she's pretty. When she speaks just turn off the sound and ogle.
Her face looks like she should be married to Mr. Ed.
Useful for the cabal.
What's disturbing, is the fact that this buffoon actually won a primary election for a congressional seat. Whats that say about the electorate?
The Russian people sucked after the socialist propaganda from 1917 to 1989 and I've read that many older people want it back. Some people are just perennially gullible. Some also actually fear freedom. Cradle to grave financial security is very desirable to some. They decide they would rather have low income with security rather than a potentially high income if they work for it and take risks with their money.
the electorate is stupid?
Does a bear shit in the woods...?
I've never known a bear well enough to ask such a personal question.
Lol...
SOCIALISM has cost us CAPITALISM.
government is a disease.
socialism is a particularly deadly version.
it's interesting, WW2 was a conflict between fascists and communists but really all they were arguing about was nationalism vs. globalism, it was the national socialists vs the international socialists. Really they were screwed no matter what.
She probably means that her brand of "Democratic" socialism will be equally miserable for everyone.
from listening to her it's apparent that she has no idea what she means..
At least when she talks she's easy to look at.
kinda like a six week old kitten?
those big eyes!
But just think of the multitudes who will vote for her without ever knowing that she is a vaporous twit.
They know exactly how much it costs, all you have to do is look at other countries who already have socialized health insurance coverage.
The USA already has socialized health insurance coverage, but it is only for American 65+ years of age
Yes, but our monthly premiums don't even come close to covering the cost of it. That should be a red flag to socialists, but it is not. Liberals who seem to be generally quite smart are just plain stupid when it comes to money math. This seems to be a universal worldwide fault.
Hey, you're preaching to the choir here. Not sure they're ready to listen

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
The Venezuelans, even in their current state, still aren't listening. Liberals will never ever listen to conservatives. This struggle has gone on for thousands of years. Each new lesson is just another repeat chapter of a very large book.
Are 'falling out eyeballs replacement surgery' - for all, in her manifesto..?
