And yet he's totally fine with the over 2800 Americans dead or injured from domestic mass shootings in 2023 alone.

Socialism has resulted in the deaths of millions of people through starvation and murder.

There are no redeeming qualities of socialism.

I have never confused socialism with communism.

Although Marx did call socialism "lesser communism".

And there it is, the extremist trademark. Attack and demonize anyone not in your "tribe". They're just an "other" right?

Thanks for confirming everything I thought about you.

I'm not ranting about anything, I'm just responding to your posts. It's not my fault you choose to speak in euphemisms rather than directly say what you mean.

Anyway, this is not about me. So unless you want to try and defend your indefensible positions... have a nice day.

What I wrote is completely germane, you just can't admit it or argue against what I'm saying because then it would be harder for you to gaslight people into voting for socialism.

So in your fantasy world we would be at 8.5 billion people along with low poverty, hunger, and deaths from war... but replacing capitalism with socialism.

Likely you fantasize no income and instead it would be the whole "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" thing, right?

Unfortunately for your fantasy... the result of socialism has always been the deaths of millions of people through starvation and murder (followed by collapse and/or acceptance of capitalism)

At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution there were an estimated 200 million people and virtually 100% poverty.

Now there are over 8.5 billion people and yet we've managed to reduce both poverty and hunger to the lowest levels in history. Along with the lowest rates of people dying due to war.

socialism didn't do that.

Pretty much they're giving money to people who are most likely to be transitionally homeless and then claiming success even though most if not all of the participants wouldn't be homeless after a year anyway.
