  12.  @ShawnPatton-rm2hv  We all know about racism in the US. I learned about slavery WAY back in the sixties, in school. You can't talk about the Civil War and not talk about slavery. We've all been taught about it but now it's been distorted. It's portrayed as a unique American and European phenomenon which is absolute nonsense. It's used by radical socialist to divide us instead of bring us together. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. This is NOT what being taught in schools these days. In fact, it's SO bad that California wanted to eliminate their state Civil Rights Act in the 2020 elections....the very act that Dr. King fought so hard for in the sixties. There are schools with Black's only dormitories, graduations and events. I've even heard people criticising mixed marriages by radical left wing activists. They're calling the people in mixed marriages "race traitors" something that the KKK used to say all the time. Larry Elder, a black American, was called the "black face of white supremacy" by his political opponents on the left. This is where the type of teaching has led us. Race relations are WORSE now then they were in the eighties and nineties and it's ALL because of this obsession with race. I know that you're a troll and I'm wasting my time but if you want division, keep teaching about race the way that they are now. It will tear this country apart and that's EXACTLY what the radical left wants. Revolution by any means necessary.

  22.  @onewildandcrazyguy9213  This is the definition of the word "socialism" "a political and economic theory of social organisation which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole." Socialism pertains to the means of production or the acquisition of wealth and how a society engages in that goal. It says the state should be in control of production and decide what the market wants. Capitalism says that production should be in the control of the producers and decided on what the market wants. In other words the freedom of the individual to decide what he wants and the supplier decides on whether he will supply it or not. A fire department or a public water system is not socialism. It's an expense of living, the exact opposite of production. As a society, we've made a tacit agreement to share in the cost of life's expenses and we call them social programs. Therefore we build roads, schools, police departments, a military and the infrastructure that a community needs and we all chip in to build and maintain it. Without a strong economy, there is no wealth attained by the private citizens and we can't chip in to aid in the cost of expenses. We call that money we chip in "taxes". If no one is producing, there is no money being made and no taxes paid. This is the reason socialism is doomed to failure. In Venezuela, as an example, the nationalised oil industry financed the social programs. Those seeking office would promise the electorate the world because the oil revenue was the cash cow that would financially fulfil all their promises. The oil industry had no money left over for maintenance, research and development, hiring the top people and training. Eventually it had to collapse. It's why the Soviet Union failed and why China changed it's strategy allowing for free enterprise while remaining in control of the larger sectors of business.
