Would you rather live in a Socialist country or an Authoritarian country?

If America is moving toward socialism...good for America. Our capitalistic system is an abomination...and needs lots of help from ideas that socialism espouses.

We are no longer moving toward authoritarianism. That scumbag got his ass tromped in 2020. Keep up.

Our capitalist system IS NOT an abomination. It has its flaws but where do you get 'abomination'?
 
Capitalism is the only moral system ever devised. It has helped more people across the world improve their lives than any other system.

Anyone who thinks "Capitalism is the only moral system ever devised" is either a moron or a moron.

If you really believe joke Biden isn't a totalitarian then youre either an idiot or just intellectually lazy.

Joe Biden in not totalitarian...nor does he aspire to be a dictator. Trump is a fucking moron who wants to be a dictator...and the people who continue to support him are every bit as stupid.
 
I get abomination from the English language.

And the capitalism of America right now...IS AN ABOMINATION.

Maybe you need a dictionary:

a·bom·i·na·tion | əˌbäməˈnāSH(ə)n | noun
a thing that causes disgust or hatred: concrete abominations masquerading as hotels | this bill is an abomination to all mankind.
• a feeling of hatred: their abomination of indulgence.
 
Yes, most of us are literate.

What do you propose to fix it?

I don't propose to fix it, RB. I'm just a golf bum, remember?

I propose to vote in people who will make attempts to fix it. Competent people...right now meaning people who do not kiss Trump's fat ass.

If I could make suggestions to the people who will be doing the "fixing"...I would suggest that they at least consider some further indulgence in socialistic thinking. EVERYONE in this country should have the basics for a decent life...food, clothing, shelter, education, medical attention, public transportation, even a bit of recreation.

That can be provided for everyone...and should be. Then, people who want to work and to get "more" will be free to earn that "more" by helping be the source of that "basic life" for everyone.

Ahh, I see you've run out of valid rebuttals.

Surrender accepted.

Why should my hard work go to help those who won't help themselves?
 
If you do not want to do "hard work"...don't do hard work. If you do not want to work...don't work.

Don't you believe people should help themselves? Provide for themselves?
Why do you work at the golf course? Would you rather those golfing friends of yours pay you to golf with them?

I pay $3 each week (as do all of us in my league) that goes to the end-of-session party. Should we invite everyone
who goes to the places we shoot to our party? Why should we invite them, they did not contribute a penny to our
party fund?
 
Only a monster would think that way. Even primitive peoples fed those who could not hunt or work.

Even primative people understood that survival is uncertain... and that everyone must help....and that those who refuse can be sacrificed at no cost to the collective and should be as a lesson.

I am a socialist after all.
 
We can no longer face our fears or the truth.

In a very real sense this is the reason America and the West are dying.

I do not do "believing", RB. But if you are asking me if I think people should help themselves...well, YES, I do. But if they do not want to work for (sometimes good) various reasons...I think they should just stay out of the way and allow people who want to work to do what must be done. I also think that allowing those kinds of people to starve or live unsheltered or not have medical care or education is barbaric.


Provide for themselves?

Answered above. I suspect that FORCING people to work is the most damaging thing a society can do to its productivity. I suspect YOU know many people who would substantially improve their company's productivity by just sitting at home doing nothing rather than coming into "work." I suggest we pay those kinds of people to do just that. Not as much as the people working, but enough so they do not starve or freeze to death...so that they have medical care and educational opportunities.

I enjoy the work. It is something to do...occupies my time in an interesting way...and I am good at it.

No...it is not necessary to invite the entire population of the world to your party. If you want to have a party with 3 people, invite three people; if you want 20, invite 20.


who goes to the places we shoot to our party? Why should we invite them, they did not contribute a penny to our
party fund?

Now you are just being silly, apparently because you do not like the idea of everyone not working.

If you want to make it a requirement to dig a hole in your backyard at least 5' deep and 15' in circumference in order to be invited...do that.
 
Even primative people understood that survival is uncertain... and that everyone must help....and that those who refuse can be sacrificed at no cost to the collective and should be as a lesson.

No, but you are beginning to sound like a barbarian to me.

If you want to kill people who do not work...advocate for that. It is your right.
