Socialism HA!

That’s the problem, it’s a test run for the far left ideology. All they’ll need to do is find some well spoken brown skinned “community organizer” to regurgitate sanders communistical message and the dumbass public will buy into it.

Something that is rarely talked about, the best looking most charismatic person is the one usually elected to the Presidency. That can work both ways.

That’s the problem, it’s a test run for the far right ideology. All they’ll need to do is find some pale-skinned, loud-mouthed, egotistical “Businessman” with bad hair to regurgitate the far-rights message and the dumbass public will buy into it.

But the problem is Trump is not regurgitating the far-rights message. I’m sure you’ve heard of his inconsistencies.
But yeah he sure is a loud mouth egotistical sort isn’t he?

Agreed, Trump has openly been for single-payer healthcare, and raising taxes on the super rich. The one thing I would be worried about, is Trump pulling a bait and switch the way Arnold Schwarzenegger did. He won a recall election using his charisma and ran on Conservative principles, only to have expanded government, signing the dreaded Cap and Trade law, and caving to Union pressure. He ended up being Democrat-lite.

Bernie Sander and his supporters are socialists, not communists.

Ehhh… I’d argue the vast majority would go right along with the full on commie revolution if that kook said it would net them free stuff.

The technical differences between the two are less important than in the macro, they are all anti-freedom by definition.

If person A can’t do with her property (her capital) as she pleases, she isn’t free. Neither system allows that, therefore it is anti-freedom. So either way, commie or socialist, they are totalitarian freedom hating savages that should have died out centuries ago with the old religions and governments of a darker, worse world.

Commies rolls off the tongue a lot easier than socialist.

Few people thought an actor could be elected, and Reagan still seems to be the ultimate boner material for Conservatives. What got him elected was strength and confidence, what we are seeing in Trump right now. Maybe the best politician is a non-politician. With a Congress and Judiciary, it’s not like Trump can fuck things without recourse.

Said actor was also a governor at one point.

Just saying.

Hah, if only Schwarzenegger was a naturally born U.S. citizen, amirite =D

Look, I don’t like anyone that is anti-freedom. Not in the “rule of law” sense (as long as the law is applied equally), but in the “hey, We get to decide what YOU do with YOUR stuff, and how much stuff is too much for YOU to have”.

Whether it be a commie or a capitalist, if your (proverbial) first reaction to a situation is to limit the freedoms of others, and there is no victim as a result of those actions, your not really scoring high on my likability scale.

A quick drive by of any that ‘leaders’ espousing such for their constituents, do not abide by the same restrictions.

Then how can you possibly like anyone?

There’s good reasons to dislike everyone alive if your stated rule is “I don’t like anyone that is anti-freedom”.

Unless you don’t actually mean “anti-freedom” in a blanket fashion, but rather as “anti-whatever you (Countingbeans) determine to be important for YOUR (Countingbeans) freedom”.

I think you’re projecting a little bit. I’m not sure you’ll find me being very inconsistent on this issue. Maybe, but I’d be surprised.

I’m pretty sure that you’re asking to be lectured to about how ownership, private property, and prohibiting one from killing and/or stealing from others are concepts that are just as “anti-freedom” as forced socialism. This course is called: How The Concept That My Freedom To Swing My Fist Ends Where Your Nose Begins Is Exactly The Same As The Concept That My Freedom To Swing My Fist Ends When The Thought Of Doing So Enters My Head.

Well, yes. In fact, I’m sure some libertarians will argue in that fashion.

Sadly, I am not a libertarian.

I’m not projecting; I’m just being super honest about how I felt about that post (yes, this is meant to be a reference to some other thread somewhere).

In any case, afaik your intense dislike towards commies don’t match up with your dislike towards folks who are against gay marriage.

There.

Perhaps, but I don’t know who those libertarians would be and have never heard of any. True anarchists may oppose those things, but no libertarians, as far as I know, do. Anarcho-capitalism is quite different from pure anarchism.

I think both sets of individuals you are talking about are wrong, and that has been clearly shown in my posts. What is inconsistent about that?
