Ask yourselves where else on the planet a political party like this can exist?

A party which thumps the Bible and consistently favors the ultra wealthy over the rest of the country. A party which cries personal resposibility only when it suits their bank account.

The US is the only modern nation which still not only tolerates this, but pushes it.

Laissez-faire capitalism cannot work because it goes against common sense. The libertarians are way worse in terms of financial elitism than the republicans are. The only big positive for the libertarians in relation to the republicans is that they are anti war and for a small peace time army. Other than that....nothing other than lots and lots of elitism. It is no coincidence libertarians are the third largest party in america and not the constitutionalists who make so much more sense. The more sense you make the less appeal you get in america and you can bet your last dollar the ptb love this and probably planned it this way via insane lobbying aka propaganda aka brainwashing.

Socialism and communism are radically different systems. You should not be confused at all really. Socialism is a middle road system between capitalism and communism. Sometimes it tilts right and sometimes left but generally is centrist.

Communists LOVE TO HIDE under socialism because they are atheists, tree hugging hyppies, extreme left and some are even militant revolutionaries. Many are also anarchists. No one likes to admit they are an extremist.


There is no reason to hate socialism, BUT YES COMMUNISM IS EVIL! That is why nazis hated stalin and went to war, when they simply could have attacked the western block and defeated capitalism once and for all. Except they allowed themselves to open the second front and got bogged down, distracted, weakened and eventually lost. Both capitalism and communism are equally bad imho!

Reagan was one of the worst presidents of all time. I mean it sincerely. Probably WAS the worst president of all time. Much worse than bush sr or bush jr! Bushs were socialists compared to reagan. The fact you like that slimeball man tells me you are a right wing extremist. He singlehandly spent trillions on star wars, destroyed unions, started the outsourcing craziness. Any rational person hates his guts. I am a bit suprised anyone would want something like that to happen again. I say please no!
