It costs $150 to buy a dozen eggs in Socialist Venezuela right now

[A dot Ham]

I sense the thinly veiled anti Socialism vibe in this thread. Problem is... Venezuela is a very very extreme example.

But that's the agenda, paint Bernie as an extremist, a socialist, a communist.

Scare people away from the Big Bad Bern. So Bernie has been forthcoming with his plan for the country and getting out of debt while fixing broken social programs. Anyone know what Trump's plan(s) are besides his stupid wall that someone else is supposed to pay for? How about Hilary? What are her plans for the country?

It all becomes crystal clear.

You WON'T vote for Bernie because you have irrational fear of DEMOCRATIC socialism.
You WILL vote for Hilary because she is a woman.
You WILL vote for Trump because he shares your bigotry.

This country IS the best in the world. But when you're the best of the worst... [insert offensive analogy here].

This is ment to stop be being a (moderate) socialist? or what?

Welcome to the smorgasbord, pleese eat whatever you can find.

Social democracy is not socialism. Social democracy is fully capable of existing in a capitalistic economy. Do yourself a favour and get an education (using the social democratic education no less!) or read a book from the library (another one of those oh, so horrible, social democratic programs!).

Still costs thousands and thousands between co-pays, deductibles, and insurance premiums, on top of what the US government spends on health care, but that's kinda off topic.

Socialists telling people to get an education, yea that's about right. I'm surprised you can take yourself seriously.

Costs $100k to fix a broken leg in Socialist USA.

Oh wait....

Again, hun, I recommending utilizing your countries oh so scary social democratic Library system to try and education yourself on what a socialist is and what social democrat is. I promise you, they are completely different

thinly veiled as a shotgun to the face.

overly specialized economy that tanked
corruption on top of corruption on top of corruption.

These little to do with socialism ideals or concepts, but that doesn't stop the haters from jumping the bandwagon.

[unfilteredJW]

The lives of other people? Really? How is doing something simple and easy like putting spools of thread on a machine going to kill you

Glorious, Orlong. Just...glorious.

Socialist Utopia feels the Bern

Not even your most hard core commie calls Venezuela a "socialist utopia."

Venezuela is not even remotely the model of socialism Bernie is advocating. He's more similar to Scandinavian models.

Have you considered that socialism may have exacerbated that corruption?

Oh wait....

Totally false. Just another lie liberals use as an excuse to try and promote single payer. I had a rotator cuff repair done and paid exactly $50 for the whole procedure. My insurance paid the other $19,000. Only idiots dont buy insurance

[schwarzkopf]

Totally

Indeed totally true. Saying that insurance pays for it DOES NOT MAKE IT NOT COST that much.

Only financially struggling people dont buy insurance

FTFY is the rule of the day isn't it?

Dont worry, the US isnt going to get any more "socialist" than it already is right now no matter who the president is after November.

The US will remain extreme right wing as it has been for 20 or 30 years. Money speaks.

[Revi]

So how's capitalist Honduras and capitalist Somalia doing these days?¨

These threads are always ridiculous, I almost have trouble believing they're serious.

IF they dont buy it they should go to jail. Its the law now according to the ACA. They just didnt make the punishment for not buying it enough

dont eat eggs then....

better yet.. get some chickens and sell the eggs...

surely they have chickens .. its near mexico after all

They probably ate the chickens already. Socialism always eats the productive members of the society first.

This is ment to stop be being a (moderate) socialist? or what?

If even "moderate" socialism leads to Venezuela, then I would strongly suggest so.

Socialism =/= social democracy, please learn the difference.

I wish more people were as educated as yourself. People fail to see the difference or even understand what even socialism actually means.

Socialism =/= social democracy, please learn the difference.

That's true for only as long as the odds are even enough. If the balance flips too much to the left, then the "democracy" facade falls off very quickly.
