  1. I've been complaining about them since they began. everyone ignored my posts. the elite have turned the ENTIRE internet into a den of liars and thieves. commercialism has destroyed what was once our last bastion from corporate greed, profiteering, theft, fraud and deceit.

  2. the profiteering, corporate elite have been misrepresenting and demonizing socialism for about 6000 years now. FACT - socialism is about social control NOT govt control. there's a HUGE difference. FACT - socialism ISN'T about big govt or govt ownership of ANYTHING! FACT - socialism is the pathway to communism which is the abolishment of govt because its no longer needed. FACT - the soviets and Chinese were NEVER socialist. they were socialist in name and rhetoric only. NEVER in practice. FACT - socialism is an anti-elitist, anti-monetary social system. the soviets and Chinese maintained both monetary systems and STRICT elitist hierarchies which are the antithesis of socialism and is in fact capitalism. FACT - lenin, himself, called his system state-capitalism, NOT socialism. FACT - stalin and mao were both brutal, murderous dictators. again the antithesis to socialism. FACT - the soviets/russians and Chinese are fascist, elitist systems not unlike the Nazis and the U. S. FACT - socialism and fascism are diametrically opposed. they are polar opposites. fascism is political capitalism and capitalism is economic fascism. one can't exist without the other. democracy is political socialism and socialism is economic democracy. one can't exist without the other. THESE ARE THE FACTS - THE REALITY. the elite LIE about the true nature of socialism and demonize it because they want us to FEAR what will FREE US from them.

  4. but the problem is - who decides when the point of "unable to Pay" is reached? on what criteria do you base this decision? when the seniors are completely destitute? my parents are both in their late 80's. they acted responsibly, as the capitalists told them, and saved money for 65 years to have a comfortable retirement. all that money they saved is nearly gone now and my dad was just put into a care facility. it costs $180 A DAY plus expenses. and the wonderful capitalist state won't help with much of the costs because they claim my mom is too well off. but she's near poverty ALREADY. so the govt is saying to my mom , hey, we'll help a lot more ONCE you become destitute. there's something VERY wrong with a system like that.

  8.  GreenIdLady 1  … you're welcome. you know, there were dozen's of other FACTS I could've added to list but my comments tend to be too long. I guess what I have to say just can't be said in just a few short sentences.

  9.  GreenIdLady 1  my criticism here is just a much of the elite on the left as on the right. even people like Chomsky, wolff and black (as smart as they are) misrepresent what socialism actually is. they tend to hold on to the old Marxian misconception that its all about big govt. well marx was wrong and I say its time socialist thought leave the 19 century.

  10. I say - join me in the 21st century with true socialism as reflected in the philosophy of equalism. for instance; did you know its capitalism that results in both big business AND big govt? and that "free marketism" has NOTHING to do with capitalism and is, in fact, much more closely related to socialism? if you, OR ANYONE ELSE ON THIS THREAD, is interested you're all invited to watch my equalism channel here's 2 links - "equalism 148: The Flaws of Universal Basic Income" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqiqp0XRKw0&feature=youtu.be - "equalism 143: Do We Really Have Socialism for the Rich?" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fdw1DuYl_s&feature=youtu.be - join the equalism ovement and let's fix this mess the elite have for us.

  11.  @RubenKelevra  … if you're referring to my parents dilemma - insurance companies are one of the biggest scams on the planet. they're part of the problem not the solution. insurance companies rake in billions from overselling coverage, underselling coverage and denying claims. if they actually sold policies that were right for people or honored their contractual obligations they wouldn't make any money. so, theft and fraud are the insurance industry's business model. taking care of the elderly is a SOCIAL obligation. not a profiteering incentive. the elderly have spent their entire lives contributing to society. the least we could do is allow them a stress and worry free retirement rather than an onslaught of victimization.

  12. I don't think that's a fail. its intentional. have you ever seen an advertisement promoting socialism? the corporate elite have a HUGE monetary advantage in their campaigns to demonize socialism.

  13.  @elyezeradler7368  … 6000 years ago is about the time so-called "civilization" began to emerge. while most of the world remained free from elitist corruption, city-states like Sumer were growing and beginning to spread their elitist social hierarchies. some argue this occurred even before Sumer, and it may very well have, but Sumer is as good a starting point as any.

  14. I thought that was pretty silly too. but hey, using that definition, as incorrect as it was, makes socialism THE MODERATE system. that's a first.

  15.  @carunyazx950  ... you do realize, don't you, that youtube existed and functioned just fine, for ten years, before placing one commercial scam on their channel? GOOGLE corrupted the site and turned into a profiteering, criminal enterprise. on top of that, google's commercial rate is HIGHER than cable's! they force a commercial on you with every 3 minutes of content. and their ads are full of get-rich-quick scams and other scams that would NEVER be allowed to air even on commercial tv. their site is full of click-bait, misinformation and out and out lies. and it has no audio STANDARDS! one video is louder than crap and another can't even be heard at all. the internet doesn't need advertising to function. the ENTIRE internet worked for 25 years without any commercials AT ALL! the internet belongs to US ALL! it was was NEVER intended to be a haven for profiteers, liars and thieves. but that's who's taken it over! with the govts blessing no less! DON'T FALL FOR THE SCAM! demand justice not more SCAMS!
