We're all going to become socialists

 
black 2019-03-19 09:40:33 

Well, al least most of us.

When automation starts taking most of the jobs away, we're going to have to depend on Government support.

Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management, as well as the political theories and movements associated with them. Social ownership can be public, collective or cooperative ownership, or citizen ownership of equity. Wikipedia


Did you even bother looking up the meaning before posting that drivel?

Or you continue to convince yourself that whatever pops into your mind is gold?

Actually yes...Socialism is characterized by ownership....not dependability.


Learn the difference.

Socialism vs. Social Democracy: Usage Guide

In the many years since socialismentered English around 1830, it has acquired several different meanings. It refers to a system of social organization in which private property and the distribution of income are subject to social control, but the conception of that control has varied, and the term has been interpreted in widely diverging ways, ranging from statist to libertarian, from Marxist to liberal. In the modern era, "pure" socialism has been seen only rarely and usually briefly in a few Communist regimes. Far more common are systems of social democracy, now often referred to as democratic socialism, in which extensive state regulation, with limited state ownership, has been employed by democratically elected governments (as in Sweden and Denmark) in the belief that it produces a fair distribution of income without impairing economic growth.

socialism is always good when you get other people's wealth
try sharing the wealth of the elites ... they hide it away ..... yet they are the ones pushing socialism

Am weird because i debunk your drivel in a single post?

Come to think of it, you may be right. Since i am the only person who tells it like it is to all comers...that is weird for this board.

Most of you scared to disagre with your "friends".

Do you have friends outside of the kingdom?


If i describe friend as ...
24 There are companions ready to crush one another, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

In reply to black

I am not looking for friends here.

Whether am ganged up on, bullied, intimidated or anything else.

I will continue to disagree with the disagreeable and agree with the agreeable.

I will not give up my Faith, my reasonning, my ethics, my love, my respect, my peace, my selfcontol, kindness goodnes joy, mildness to get a laugh or an ataboy from anyone.

Your appeal to friendship is baseless.

Cc.com has not and will not make me.

Nor will it ever break me.

Carry on smartly.

Notice how you cannot dispute what i say...just make so e silly comment and point to where i disagree with you without pointing out any issue am wrong about....you like a puppy chasing it's tail.

Was'nt that phrase...get help before it is too late... batquake response to you all that you claimed he was judging you and elevating himself above you.

Now here we are.

You all have tried all tactics there are to silence me.

Still you press on thrusting humiliation aside.

What is there to dispute? Others have used socialism in the same and you have not disputed it. This reminds me of Nick trying to tell me what capitalism is.

By your definition, Norway do not meet that criteria either.

This is serious shit, not that bible BS.

 
Ayenmol 2019-03-19 13:51:14 

In reply to black

Am not picking on you. I posted the definition of socialism from Wikipedia...you posted one from Miriam-Webster.

They both are completely opposite your post!

Dispute that rather than attack me.

 
Ayenmol 2019-03-19 13:52:29

So serious that you post without a clue of what you are talking about?

Have fun with your serious approach...let me know how your presentation to the Norwegian Government turns out...or to the American Government who is replacing workers with robots.

 
black 2019-03-19 13:54:13 

In reply to Ayenmol

No, they are not.

The one I posted, clearly stated that the definition has changed over the years.

To most people, if it's not complete capitalism, it is some sort of socialism.

Why are you being so difficult?

 
Ayenmol 2019-03-19 13:56:10 

In reply to black

Not one of those definitions support your drivel.

Of course Wikipedia supports the current understanding more so than Webster's but that does not occur to you!

Let me know how it turns.

Ayenmol 2019-03-19 14:05:52 

Here, let me break down how i came to describe you...

STATEMENT:

We're all going to become socialists


Basis for STATEMENT:

Automation is a capitalist driven strategy.

Dependence on the Government for food or other needs is not a definition of Socialism.

Every system of Government requires governance that includes providing for Citizens.

Direct dependence with no work done to EARN the money is not a construct of socialism in any form!

Wait, are we back to the Bible again?

Or you just love to lash out when cornered?

Funny that you using the Bible as a weight to measure authenticity.

There are reasons they are accepted figures of speech...

But, why are you now digressing from the serious issue?

I agree that automation is driven by capitalist notions.

I wonder though, what happens if automation reaches a point where human labour is by and large unneeded.

Do we reach that Star-Trek like scenario where working for money is no longer a thing?

(Disclaimer: I don't see this anytime soon in any event, we humans can't agree on anything and are willing to fight and kill instead of finding a middle ground)

That is because I thought he was referring to something else (your capitalist ranting).

I went back and read what he said and it was just a rebuttal to the normal debate.

I didn't have a problem with what he said and said so.

 
Norm 2019-03-19 15:53:40 

So, is "welfare" or "dole" or "social security" capitalist or socialist?

And, can a government produce wealth?

Many Americans feeding off the tits of socialism don't even recognize that they are Socialists. They may claim to believe in capitalism but are increasingly getting none of its benefits.

Those poor farmers under flood in Nebraska may believe in capitalism, but only a good dose of socialism will help them to survive Climate Change.

 
Norm 2019-03-19 19:28:28 

In reply to Casper

Even simple entities such as home owners associations are essentially socialist, in that economic resources are pooled for the common good.

Many US farmers form co-ops to finance jointly-owned mills, processing plants, etc. Credit unions raise capital from their own membership only.

So, "socialism" is already being practiced, legally and freely, within "capitalism" as it is. Inevitably, economic practices will have to become more socialist to accommodate both political views and the economic independence of the working classes.

The rich classes continue to display their moral weaknesses, the university admission scandal being the latest, which will push political thinking more and more towards rule by the working classes.
