    VI : of course! But because the OP is clearly an oriented, dishonest and fallacious caricatur of socialism, I played his game too :wink:

    Yes, coalize, I knew it was snark on your part.

    Socialism does not lift people out of poverty anywhere near as good as capitalism. Socialism promises things that it cannot possibly deliver on over time. Once the socialist politician realizes the inability to deliver, social unrest & two other things usually develop. First, a scapegoat must be found to blame the inability, and two a state security system needs to be erected to keep the socialists in office. The Jews were scapegoats in the last century and we saw security systems like the SS secret police and the KGB keep the socialists in power.

    The basic socialist cycle goes something like this:

    1. Convince the populace that the government can solve their problems of inequality with cradle to grave govt. programs

    2. Get the population dependent on govt. programs

    3. Take away their guns

    4. Increase taxes

    5. Blame the scapegoat for the inability to deliver on promises

    6. Have the national police round up the protesters

    Once citizens are weaned on this cradle-to-grave concept and are no longer self-reliant, they become wards of the state and will not accept any reduction of services. The government subsequently has no option but to reduce services, and as popular resistance develops, State repression begins. This is the socialist cycle.


    The capitalist must perform to market standards. Competition will put him out of business if he provides an inferior product or service. He is furthermore constrained by his customers, stockholders, board of directors, lending institutions, as well as numerous laws, and, if all else fails, product liability statutes.

    Perry, you might be away from your PC but it would be nice if you interacted on your own threads responding to those who post on them. And I mean interacting not just cut, pasting and hurling other people's articles at our faces.

    Update: I see that you're back but it would be nice if you took the rest of what I said to heart. Nothing in your posts is a direct response to us.

    For example, what do you think of the example that I gave of Publix supermarkets?

    "For example, what do you think of the example that I gave of Publix supermarkets?"

    Perry:

    What competition is there between monopolies? They can afford to give shoddy services to their customers because there is nowhere for them to go to that doesn't treat them the same.

    And what about constrainment by their workers to alleviate themselves from exploitation?

    Yes, I know. You despise the workers considering them sub-human.

    As for product liability statutes would you find it OK for them to sell poison as food? Like China did when several infants died from contaminated infant formulas (Never buy any food from China!)?

    The capitalist are always barking about competition

    But they never competite : they buy the little adversaries to make trusts!

    Paradoxally, There is more real competition in socialist countries than in capitalist ones!

    The basic socialist cycle goes something like this:

    1. Convince the populace that the government can solve their problems of inequality with cradle to grave govt. programs

    Once again, workers capitalism. Direct ownership of businesses and increased standard of living by paying themselves out of the company's profits.

    2. Get the population dependent on govt. programs

    If they pay for it with their taxpayers money then it's their programs.

    3. Take away their guns

    I'm pro-gun all the way to semiautomatics with gazillion round magazines.

    4. Increase taxes

    And get their value back when ill or unemployed.

    5. Blame the scapegoat for the inability to deliver on promises

    Where are the scapegoats in Western Europe? And you do find economic scapegoats by conservatives here in the United States. They're called Mexicans.

    6. Have the national police round up the protesters

    Western Europe again. Is it happening there?

    We're responding to you Perry but you're not reciprocating.

    Terry: You got to watch out with that guy, he has some ok videos but he was also promoting a kind of shunning/disconnection of family members if they disagrees with ones views on economics. It got a really fishy vibe.
