  1. How would you differentiation between Socialism and Communism? Would you say Socialism is a mix of Communism and Capitalism? Is Socialism a type of Fascism? Right now the State is supporting specific key industries (take GM as an example). That's an example of classic Fascism. Would it be more accurate then to refer to the US economic model as Fascist? So? Which is the USA economy?

  2. Actually we have a Republic. Although I find it funny you should say we're democratic AND complain about the Christian right in the same sentence. It's about right for a Thom Demagogue Hartmann Show.

  3. @1:25 nice false dichotomy either-or fallacy, There's a currency exchange between barn builders in small communities even if it's not through our Income Tax ladled immoral Federal Reserve Paper not worth the money it's not printed on.

  4. I understand your point, but, I'd quote the old adage "The Devil's in the Details". There are serious, major (HUGE) differences between some of the concepts you listed. Also, when you mash economic theory together with socialism, as if the two just somehow fit together, you're really starting to make little sense. A place to start is by determining what Capitalism is. What Socialism is. What Corporatism is. Even the "We" and "Nation" in the sentence "We are a nation....." is worth looking into

  5. Because the reason we're not forced to endure the superstitious bigotry of Christianity at a State level is probably because we're a Republic and not a Social Democracy (and thank the Gods we're not). As for Thom, I'm not sure if he drank his own Koolaid or if he's just demagoging issues to make money off the gullible. I'm thinking a bit of both.

  6. I agree Corporations do rule over us. Corporation IMO are immoral. Although that's a long debate regarding Civil Law. Needless to say the "Founding Fathers" (a phrase I dislike as it seems religious) were weary of Democracy and did not trust in non property holders to vote because they'd vote to steal from property holders, pretty much what is happening today. We need a SMALL SMALL government and to rid ourselves of the US dollar. We need State money to begin and private money ASAP.

  7. Get this Thom, we're not a Nation of Socialists. It's that simple. It's not our culture. Killing and stealing is our culture. Which fit well with your form of Socialism. Giving away "Native American Land" as an example. You can compalin all you want, but Americans are not socialists. You can't build an iPhone BUT guess what Thom, we have cheap iPhones! Ignorant demagogue.

  8. I didn't know this was a debate. Debating on Youtube is a waste of time. You can go on and believe whatever makes you happy. It really doesn't matter to me. Although I wish I hadn't wasted my time.
