We keep being invited by Texas locals & government. They could have half literate flat earthers from the Bible Belt, but for some reason there's not much of a tax base to be gotten out of them. Apparently Texas' big cities, have modern needs, with modern corporations and need educated Californians and not half-literate flat earthers and survivalists. I keep hearing about how everyone hates the California invasion but whom do you want as your new neighbor? A Californian who quietly sips his wine, goes to work and pays his taxes and doesn't smack his old lady around for exercise? Or a good 'ol boy who's shooting his gun off every Saturday night and burns his trash in his backyard every Monday? Because the kind of neighbor you want, living next to you, your kids and your grandkids, is ultimately the kind of neighborhood, you want to live in.

@MarekDohojda Communist completely ignore the existence of Market Economics, and the claim that Supply and Demand are a myth. They believe that people will work without a personal motivation, of a return on labor invested. They are absurdists and knuckle draggers. Socialists understand Supply and Demand and simply wish to limit the destructive side effects of unrestricted Capitalism. The fact that you can sue a Corporation for poisoning your drinking water, is SOCIALISM. In a purely Capitalist system, Corporate lobbyists and lawyers, would simply pass laws, make poisoning your water legal, and you would have no legal recourse as your children and grandchildren were poisoned in their own homes. That's called PURE Capitalism. So claiming Socialism and Communism is the same thing, simply demonstrates your lack of understanding of the terms. But feel free to continue to demonstrate your Trump University Degree, for all to see.

@Nothing To See Here The goal of Socialism is to limit the destructive excesses of pure Capitalism. 8 hour work days, Socialism. Industrial child labor laws, Socialism. Social safety nets for widows, orphans, people handicapped during national wars and industrial accidents, Socialism. Unemployment insurance, Socialism. Your Social Security check, Socialism. Medicare, Socialism. Public schools, Socialism. Public roads, Socialism. Electricity in rural areas being subsidized by the Federal government, Socialism. Hospitals in rural areas being subsidized by the Federal government, Socialism. Arms industry in rural Sates, away from centers of Industry, Socialism. Farm subsidies, Socialism. My bet is that you've taken advantage of Socialist structures your entire life, without even being aware of it and if you lived in a pure capitalist society tomorrow, you'd put a gun in your mouth in a few days, out of pure misery.

@Nothing To See Here But true Socialism is not what he was talking about. When idiots from Texas talk about California Communism, they are not talking about REAL Communism. They are usually talking about Social Democrat policies, that are prevalent in California and mostly non-existent in Texas, such as laws protecting people from working in hazardous environment, without safety equipment and regulations; and educational standards that are not based on the 1890s.

@MarekDohojda Since I have never heard any Democrats in California suggest what you claim to be Communism, I'll have to ask you where your psychotic accusations originated from. Which group of California Democrats or which organization came up with what you described? If you make psychotic accusation, then provide evidence. And three crackpots on 4chan shouting about 'white power' are not evidence. I want you to provide evidence of this grand communist conspiracy advocated on a wide scale by any elected California governing body. I went with what is commonly defined as California Socialism, which is just basic good governance, playing interference between the public vs Corporate Greed, but you went into real definitions. Well, if its real definitions, then: So put up, or shut up.

@Nothing To See Here I'm not repeating myself and I'm not going to play the game of twisting words into pretzels. He was talking about California Socialism, and those policies are what he was basing his accusations on, since there is no actual movement to take over the means of production. So if you've got evidence of REAL Socialism, then show them. And if there is no California Socialism, then clearly you were talking about Social Democrat policies. As I've said to him: Put up or shut up.

@jerikrazik4707 No idea whom you're responding to or what you're responding to, who called Texas a 3rd world place? You made an effort but that's about all the time I'm going to waste on you, your accusations of 'soulless multiculturalism' are code for racist trolling and a desperate scream for attention. I have to move on.

@Nothing To See Here Again, what unironic SOCIALIST base over where? You said it was a joke but the Socialist base is unironic AKA REAL. Cite sources or as I said it, "Put up or shut up." Start naming the REAL Socialists and the groups they represent if you are going to say unironic Socialist base.

@MarekDohojda All you've added to the conversation was name calling. "You're all socialists," was the extent of your argument. No supporting evidence, just some juvenile nicknames is about all you're good for. I've given you multiple chances to put up or shut. You've yet to provide any evidence of the 'real' Socialist base in California. So we'll just chuck it up to 'you've got nothing.'
