isn't socialism just another way to say 'pool our money and buy in bulk'?
charge cost+10% to the american people in a capitalist environment.
no. it goes to the institution of technology. a government institution designed to provide a variety of technology solutions to the american people. it is not for profit, but is self-sustaining and maintains healthy growth.
Hmm. No. I am not triggered by your argument. I just think it is weak. You need to debate the merits and mechanics. There is no more or less resources in a socialist economy, there is simply a different means of distributing them over the SAME infrastructure. This is not Venezuela, Cuba, or Russia, sorry.
this country is run by a gang. it will be run by a gang in the future. it is up to the thugs in charge to make sure the infrastructure functions well. The roads, warehouses, factories, capital, etc all exists. it just needs to be utilized. you have to pay people to operate it. My only point today is that the arguments I see here against socialism are fairly weak and only operate effectively in an echo chamber. You aren't really changing anyones' mind with "red is dead" "never a commie" and "look at venezuela". It is particularly silly when half the people screaming these absurd arguments are living on SOCIAL security.
I I am a capitalist. You missed where I wrote "My point today is…". You can't tell me that having the government collect our money for future payouts (and healthcare) is not a form of socialization.
