@WanderingExistence Yet Einstein lived off of grants and subsidies like many socialist-loving intellectuals.
1
Don't forget the countless amount of countries left in (economic, political, social, etc.) ruin by their ideology.
1
India was largely left alone by the West post-independence. Its experiment with socialism and over-reliance on foreign aid stifled its development until the early 1990's.

<Intellectuals are socialists not because they want people to be like cattle, but because they want people to be more free.> Which people? The average person or themselves whose only experience with poverty was their parents telling them NO?
1
In actuality, he had solidarity with the lumpen-proletariat. Society's dregs and outcasts.
1
But no one is owed such and no one should be obligated (forced against their will) to provide such.
1
@MyUserTubeAccount With the Black community as proof. You have only Lyndon Baines Johnson to thank for that. "I'll have those n-----s voting Democratic for another 200 years."
1
Maybe because they were subjected to shortages of basic needs, tyranny, etc. like the average citizen?
1
@warrioroflight6872 Following dreams is for rich folks and children.
1
Liberation theology = Marxism co-opted Christianity.
1
<Jesus Christ promoted liberal policies, and he denounced the denigration of the poor, needy and women. > Like what? Jesus didn't support any forced redistribution of wealth.
1
Exactly.
1
Otherwise known as the ivory tower.
1
@WanderingExistence No. This is socialism at its finest. The government and well-connected = rich. Everyone else = poor. The 1% vs. 99% in real-life practice. Just ask a Cuban.
1
LOL. I think you need to read up on how the USSR came to be with Russia subjugating the indigenous and stealing their lands namely its Central Asian and Eastern European neighbors.
1
Because he lived off of taxpayers via government grants.
1
@patrickturner2788 <You think it's Cuba or Russia. I got news for you that there has never been a true socialist country. > You weren't saying that when they had their period of prosperity. And for the record, post-Barre Somalia had "true" socialism. No state (functioning government for the next 2 decades), no currency (formal economy) and no classes (just warlords, goat-herders, pirates and ordinary folk).
1
You don't represent most people in this country.
1
Pretty much.
1
It's easier to be socialist in a free society than free in a socialist society.
1
@Siroitin But you wouldn't be legally allowed to ride a bike to crash making lack of helmet use irrelevant.
1
@RealCodreX <Whether you like it or not, Karl Marx and his works revolutionized our world and made it a better one in the long term.> By bankrupting every country that adopted his ideas.
1
Hence the insistence that for socialism/communism to work, it must have "the right people" in charge.
1
Marx was part of the upper class and barely worked a day in his life.
1
FDR's New Deal only benefited poor Whites as poor Blacks were excluded.
1
Because they're delusional.
1
<If you're a black person, and decide to actually learn and speak, you're called names in the black community, like Oreo Cookie and worse.> Acting White. LOL
1
Because many average Blacks are on the Democratic plantation.
1
Fascism is a socialist idea.
1
Did Jesus expect and demand other people to provide for him under threat of assault or theft?
1
Of course you would, bottom-feeder.
1
With themselves as God.
1
<where WORKERS run things> Into the ground through disorganization and mismanagement. < In short EVERYBODY should love socialism.> For what? Those who work or produce for a living and would love nothing more than the right to keep what they earned have no reason to love socialism. <The fact is it takes about ten seconds to look up 'socialism' in the dictionary and at the very basic level it says "when the means of production are operated by the COMMUNITY". > Definition means nothing. The results it has consistently produced is all that needs to be known.
1
@mikearchibald744 Do YOU know it means? Or you're just using the definition excuse to shield socialism from its results like every other apologist?
1
@amraceway Until he quit, because he wasn't getting paid "a living wage." LOL
1
Exactly.
1
Just like every other communist/socialist regime that ever existed. Play the victim, blame the West or some other external factor for their largely internal failings.
1
Mussolini was a communist before the International Left disowned him for his nationalist views. Hitler was a socialist and was once friends with Stalin.
1
@hanklesacks With Winnie The Pooh or should I say Mao 2.0 in charge.
1
@0228christian Xi is doing everything to set China back.
1
Yet socialism enables and promotes monopolies, blocks competition and innovation by centralizing all power to the state.
1
Fascism is another brand of socialism.
1
And also the working class they swear they have solidarity with.
1
@kimobrien. The same stage socialism/communism aspires to be, hence the calls for them to be "international."
1
Pretty much.
1
16:50 The NAACP was founded by White Liberals.
1
Slavery is older than capitalism.
1
LOL. But they have been brought to the dark side by their own pride(fulness). If anything, they're just useful idiots who will be eventually sacrificed once their beloved socialism become the order of the day.
1
Educated fools.
1
Hierarchies exist for a reason. Humanity is too corrupt to govern itself. <This false hierarchical system of power perpetrated from birth needs to be destroyed and dismantled.> And replace it with what? <In my particular field of work, I have supervisors who talk down to me because they are supervisors having no knowledge that I have read thousands of more books, studied thousands of more hours of material than they have but because of their title, this false authority, they think they have power over me.> Yet you went to them for a job. Yet you're employed by and receive a paycheck from them. <humanity will never free itself from the shackles of enslavement and slave systems, ie: government, religion, politics, economics, etc.> Just like humanity will never free itself from its own (self)destructive habits and desires which necessitates law and order.
