Is Socialism Cool?

AFP-VA handed out some of our "Socialism isn't Cool" bumper stickers. You'll be surprised by some of the responses we received.

i like how when the guy starts talking about how jesus was a socialist they cut him off lol

[splint480]

im a socialist and i dont give a damn if its cool or not, that isnt the point, its about the belief in political ideals, im a socialist because i believe in those ideals not because i think its cool and anyone who becomes a socialist or any other political type just because they think its cool and not for what they represent should just piss off.

@MegaIlikechickens  BTW: Maybe you like to follow dirty unwashed unshaven smelly mooches like Marx but I don't. If he was all that great, he'd of gone out and supported himself and shown us how great Socialism was. All he proved to the world is Socialism is a description for lazy ass totalitarian insiders who makes everyone else work while he leeches off of them.

@bjarczyk There are more than 15 Million People who work from home in a MLM type business full time. Imagine if there wasn't any MLM businesses. Socialism and Capitalism can collapse. In fact MLM businesses have more business when the economy gets bad. I consider myself a Capitalist, but I would prefer MLM Businesses

@lifeforce218 Capitalism absolutely means supporting the Constitution, which was written to destroy the true libertarian revolution. I recommend the articles Tyranny is Tyranny and A Kind of Revolution by Howard Zinn for further explanation and context. I also recommend No Treason: the Constitution of No Authority by Lysander Spooner.

@lifeforce218 Business owners don't really work hard. They have wage slaves do all the hard work for them. No doubt many smaller business owners have to pull a lot of weight, but people who work for them are still exploited at the business' expense. This system is unfair, whereas under workers' control needs can be met more directly and time can be freed up.

I guess it's nice when "your own wealth grows" but at who's expense? It's an (unnecessary) system that only works for some.

Capitalism=Supporting the Constitution. No to Socialism

@bjarczyk What does the business owner get? Sounds a bit unfair to me when a business owner who worked hard to get the business going to have the employees take over. To me that's pretty greedy. I'm an Entrepreneur I work for myself and in a network marketing business you have others entrepreneurs working for me and the same goes for them and so on. Everyone grows there own wealth this way.

[lifeforce218]

All this bickering about the Capitalist being Greedy is crap. My money is my money, I get to do whatever I want with it. You get to do what you want with your money. That is Capitalism. Tired of working for the rich, making them rich? Work for yourself, like me. There are thousands of people creating their own wealth by becoming Entrepreneurs. In fact it's going to come down to Entrepreneurs like my self to help the economy. For this I'm a Capitalist

@turbomango Whatever Once you read all those which should take you a month with your knowledge, then trash talk away. Beat by a minor that really sucks HAHAHAHAHAHAH

@turbomango So then the lazy people will stay at home and wait for their check. Workers will become unmotivated and slow down their working speed and the output of products will drop. When a company loses money in a socialistic nation, the nation loses money. I have a friend in romania way older than me, but he has told me that the Romanians have a socialistic government and because that check they get will never change, they have decided to stop working hard so the Americans are to change it
