Yes, comrades, it just isn't fair how Fox News covers socialism.
Would you believe one Fox News talking head actually called socialism "toxic." Yes, toxic. How dare Fox allow such negative propaganda?
Trust CNN guest Bhaskar Sunkara, founder of America's socialist magazine of boy howdy wow ever growing popularity, "Jacobin," who said "Socialism is actually about freedom."
Yes! Yes! Yes!
SOCIALISM IS ACTUALLY ABOUT FREEDOM!

    Why does each generation of socialist ideologues think they can do better than the failed attempts of the past? They use the same rhetoric as their predecessors to promote this ideology but won't say how they will do it better because they can't.

    Yes, that is exactly how socialism should be treated.
    Nevertheless, it is obvious that many members of our human race suffers from a mental health problem.
    Me dino has oft read it said that proof of insanity is trying the same thing over and over with the same negative result while still expecting an opposite outcome.

    We should treat socialism as fairly as we treat fascism based on historical results of such as prosperity, economics, long term sustainability and of course needless deaths.

    Oh I dunno.
    With Tucker Carlson going full Nationalist Socialist these days, I'd say Fox is pretty fair on Socialism.
    Fox is one of it's biggest advocates at the moment.

    This is worthy of an extended discussion to get around some very bad stereotypes. Contact through Concord Green on LinkedIn.

    If socialism was about freedom then government would not rule me, would not steal from me and would not own the means of production.

    On the positive side, there would be no loud radical mobs brutally trying to push their competing ideology, lasting more then a few weeks.

    Or Kaiser. Yes, very possible. Tesla probably would have stayed in Europe and Germany would have the benefit.

    My take is different. None of us existing today would probably be alive. Everyone else would be speaking German and saluting the latest Fuhrer.

    Me dino thought Jews were a welcomed branch of America's Left (lefty Barbara Streisland a Jew along with other Hollywood ilk) until during the Occupy Movement when I saw on TV lots of "occupiers" carrying anti-Jewish signs. I was all like "What?!?!"
    Later I had become better educated about how the Left really felt about Jews by the time I also on TV saw Nutty Nancy turn her back on Netanyahu as he gave a speech before Congress.
    Now the Left has given us the gift of so-called Antifa who like fascist Nazis me dino thinks would crack a Jew's skull in a heartbeat.

    "...slow innovation or none at all." Indeed. I suspect if the US had gone pure socialist after the Civil War we'd still be living in the 19th century. I could see Edison being thrown out of the "Ministry of Invention" because his electric light idea would conflict too much with the Oil Lamp and Candlestick Unions. There would have been no 20th Century Motorcar Company because it would have ended the Horse Sh*t Shoveler's Union.

    I agree with CNN. Fox is too busy trying to be "fair and balanced" that it gives socialism way too much of a pass. Its a TERRIBLE system with a horrible track record EVERYWHERE its been tried. There is nothing good about socialism.

    Socialism is a fundamental and profound evil. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

    When me dino found this reply in my stack of unopened emails, all I could read was "Owlsrayne: "Socialism is the Twentieth Century,,,""
    Just as I started to click on it to read the rest of what you wrote, I finished that sentence with one word and that one word was "...failure."
    Despite what I came up with, I liked what you wrote and gave you a point.

    I guess words mean nothing anymore. It is just getting so ridiculous.
