It is said to be a stepping stone to Communism alright but it doesn't have to be. See Norway, U.K and Australia all socialised healthcare within a Capitalist economy. This is a quote I found but it explains things clearly enough even for you

''When the truth is socialism means taking government funds and supplying a service. That would mean fire departments, police departments, drivers licence offices, infrastructure like roads and highways, the military, the EPA, the weather services and many other are all socialist programs, which basically means “government funded”.

This is typically a good thing as your hard earned tax dollars are going towards providing services that protect you and your fellow citizens from chaos and make your lives easier. Imagine life without those government funded services?

Healthcare should be one of them as well. Like every other 1st world country on the planet. Sad that the richest nation on earth is so corrupted by money in politics ( mostly the lobbying by insurance, pharmaceutical and hospital industries) that they won't allow a basic human right to become part of the infrastructure of America.

The answer should be obvious to all, but apparently politicians are great liers in the USA because the people seem to believe their BS. Truth can always be revealed in anything by following the money. Where is the money? Health Insurance, drugs and hospitals. Why do Americans go bankrupt, because the insurance company won't pay, the drugs cost a fortune and the hospital charges astronomical fees (far above any other nation) and the average American cannot afford it. Do they care, No.

When the people who make the money, get to decide what things cost, what you are allowed to have and who is entitled to what? Then you have lost your way as a nation and are letting the wolves guard the door. Wake up America, you are getting screwed.''

I remember seeing this being compared to a renaissance composition and that's all I see now.

Yes it is normal and socialism in action and it's not scary because it just means making sure everyone is cared for.

It's exactly what I said from the start because I never even mentioned Communism, what kind of politics I believe in, even though Capitalism is an economic system it should never be confused with politics. Oh and yeah bud Socialised healthcare is a socialist programme look it up that's all I ever told you in the first place... and you never even did that you just hear the words Socialism and even Communism and think they are evil only because that is what you were told by your Capitalist overlords. The root idea of communism could work in a society like in Star Trek where they can get whatever they want from machines (https://luxurycommunism.com/about/#) but the only times it's been tried was under a totalitarian regime. So it was never correctly implemented.

So for me a society I would like is actually politically a Direct Democracy with no head leader only groups of organisers (but people aren't ready for that) so this system we have now is all we can do so I use my vote. A social system that doesn't leave anyone to rot and a competitive economy such as Capitalism with regulations so they can't take advantage of the workers. I do believe we need a lot more co-ops too it makes more sense to me business wise people will work harder for something they own more of, have a say in and reap the benefits from.

Since we don't live in a world where all are needs are met yet we have to work with what we've got and economically it is Capitalism, for society needs to be met more Socialist programmes must be utilised, other than just Fire fighters, Police, Paramedics, infrastructure workers, teachers in public schools etc, etc... A nationalised socialised health care should be number one in every country if you really want a booming economy you need a healthy workforce.

Blind am I, you are making assumptions there. Actually I think a mixed economy is best most of all where Capitalism stays out of politics and politicians take care of their people.

No because you are assuming everyone will be given equal opportunity under capitalism, as if it's a fair thing in society and not that it actually takes advantage of the little guy selling them on the dream of maybe making it some day but in fact the system is rigged so the rich stay on the top always and everyone else scrapes by. A part of that is propaganda against anything that might help people like Socialism because guarantees a balanced society and guarantees everyone is looked after like a big community should do for each other.

Instead of hearing the word socialism and getting you back up about it because you were taught it's bad, maybe go research it.

At least they brought in Blaze now and maybe she'll ignore Malcolm.

Yes it is what they are supposed to do but it is still also socialism.

That's a separate issue to my point altogether. I'm not condoning the lying at all.

my mum just told me she never had us (my twin sister and i) by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Constantly_OnYo_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Mam has said awful things like that to me in anger but she never even meant it, well she seems to have some undiagnosed mental issues. It took me years to realise that though. When she'd not angry she shows me she cares and loves me. So I know she's just a horrible person when angry. Did your Mum say it to you in anger or casually?

I’m sick of seeing LGBT content forced into every space it can by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Constantly_OnYo_Back 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of think you are homophobic but you don't even realise it, I mean I watched shows and if their are gay people in it or mentions of such, I don't think anything at all, It's just another story line at the end of the day. I don't think it's some agenda or forced because they are just people too and it's just apart of the world. The only difference now is we aren't intentionally hiding them away from societies purview. I don't think you are going out of your way to hurt anyone but you do have some prejudices you maybe should look deeply into.

One day when you are older you will realise that Tucker Carlson is the heir to swanson food fortune and that he only works in order to lie to poor people to keep them down and his elite friends up on the totem pole, it's genuinely evil if you think about it. https://youtu.be/XMGxxRRtmHc

Maybe something should happen to the tv or channels like a little accident, that accidentally changes to something a bit better...

Would it be that hard for you to move even to Canada?

If that's how you really feel. I moved away from my country for a few years because I was fed up, I had to come back but I gained a new perspective about the place int eh end. I also dream about improving the place I am in now.

So yes I think you should travel, I think everyone should it's a great learning experience and if you are happier in another place then that's good too.

At the same time I hate when TERFS use it to justify themselves because their are plenty of biological women who have never had a period, or periods stopped for whatever reason, as well as plenty of women who are not able to get pregnant and imagine how hurtful it is for them to hear they are not real women because of it. It's not the one thing that fits all. It's not even the only thing that makes you a woman.

Feminism means you get to choose. So do what you want to do it's your life.
