Actually, slavery, as an institution in America, was created by free enterprise, not by socialism. Socialism has never been instituted in America. Slavery is a function of free market capitalism. It is not, nor has it ever been, a function of communism or socialism. Capitalists enslaved and killed millions of Africans, an enormously profitable practice.
You're a liar, just as all capitalists -- by their very nature -- are liars.
There is a "war on socialism" in the same way Iraqis are waging a "war on america". No free-marketer is saying you can't have your socialism. If you and like-minded people want to get together and have "socialism", I will not stop you.
@fringeelements so all the glenn becks and bill o'reilys out there that constantly blame all of america's problems on socialism aren't beligerant? the millions spent and measures taken by corporate america to intimidate and supress union activity can't be classified as warfare? the thousands of insurance company lobbyist who will do anything to prevent the people of this country from establishing any kind of public alternative to their defective corperate one, aren't combatants?
I guess fringeelements translates his supposed and ever so gracious willingness to allow (God bless his heart) people like you iluminatr462 to have "your socialism" as "there is no war on socialism." If a couple of ancaps/free market anti-statists on YouTube are ever so willing to allow socialism, then it must be true that socialism is not constantly berated, abused, mischaracterized, etc....
@fringeelements "There is a "war on socialism" in the same way Iraqis are waging a "war on america"."
In this video, Hogan is discussing the historical war on socialism, a war that continues today. Look at the many idiots on the radio & televison today using the word socialism in the only that it is allowed to be used in American society: as a prejorative term of mocking derision. In the 1960s FBI murdered members of the Black Panther Party, a Marxist organization. This is not about you.
lol well the state is 43% of GDP, so obviously the "war on socialism" is going about as well as the Iraqis' war on the US invaders.
The analogy went over your head. In a free market, you and your buddies can get together and do "socialism". The reverse is not true.
Yes, the advocates of "socialism" are getting killed. So are invading soldiers in iraq. An act of state is an act of war. I know you think your cause is just and you have deep, internally consistent and plausible explanations.
And of course this is about me. The black panthers want me to pay for 'white privilege' - a phantom constructed to explain the failure of the civil rights vision after the fact. It's good that they get killed, they're racist aggressors. I know they think they're being oppressed, just as economic illiterates in the past thought they were oppressed by the jews. The black panthers HAD some legitimate complaints as well, so did the nazis, blaming their problems on versailles.
@fringeelements "The black panthers want me to pay for 'white privilege' "
The original Black Panthers were about protecting the black community from abusive police and redistributing the wealth of society in a more equitable fashion.
Once again: socialism is not about you personally; what you have earned is yours. In a nation with such a lopsided distribution of wealth, things are bound to bust. People cannot live under these conditions forever. Capitalism is theft of the commonwealth.
@TomJackson986 I haven't seen you anti-union crowd do anything other than wreck the global economy into depression and put the world on the edge of eco-disaster.
And also they say...socialism leads to rationing! Well, we only like rationing when it is rationed by the private sector! Plus, the difference between socialism and communism is ignored, and the fact that labor is absolutely essential and can't be ignored. Labor has to be wrong, has to be demonised, even though labor is what has built it all...
I find it curious that there is this systemic fear-mongering about socialism when there is no consideration given as to what these ideas entail...healthcare? That's socialist! Oh, socialism! Well that's used as a buzz-word, are these people really saying that to be provided healthcare for their tax dollars would be the greatest tragedy in the history of man?
Greedy elitist scumbags never change. They butcher and killl anyone aware enough to get between them and the $. Those motherfuckers. When will Americans wake up and stand up to the Facsist Scumbags who are presently and openly looting this country. Those motherfuckers. Why the fuck do 99.9% of Americans not even know what Socialism really is? It's really fucking frustrating.
Why is growth important? I will do a video that tackles this question. All so called reform socialism economies seek to compete with capitalist growth models. This may be a mistake - see Socialism for Dummies Part 8.

I am almost positive you are talking about the Hay Market 8. Later on in modern times the Chicago 7 would mirror this event.
