Why is America so resistant to socialism? Every single first world country on earth has socialism except for America. Is it because Americans have such godtier genetics?
Is this why America is such a great country?

If everyone worked for themselves, I'd be okay with socialism. But all it'd do is raise a bunch of lazy fucks who just want handouts. And then the country goes down the shitter.

Socialism is great, but these good goys would rather spend 20k on school and fork out tons of money when they get sick. They're trained sheep that believe they have an equal opportunity. Sad!
Because we spent 60 years getting taught that socialist menace is going to end the world and is the only threat to world peace and they want tnothing more than to destroy the west

It's because america used to be a beacon for individualists.... And individualists recognize communism as their mortal enemy.

I'll accept socialism when every single asshole on food stamps or welfare, white, black, or brown, has to do 20 hours of community service a week to keep their communities clean and maintained. No work, no benefits.
60% of you have the best of west europe plus some indian.

Our culture is built on self-reliance and individualism, the polar opposite of socialism. We spent the better part of the last century waging war against it, after all.

I think some socialism is good. But my government is planning to make it free for people to go to school. Isn't that a horrible Idea if the job market is already stagnant?
>>79866117
The USA is where all the greatest people went in the last 100 years. Until we started getting mass illegal migration from Central and South America.
We promote individualism because we utilize great individuals. Other first world countries have great people on average but the USA historically took the best people from everywhere. They're collectivist because they rely on averages.
The USA's historic philosophy has always been radical individualism. If we can control our borders again the candle of it may yet still burn bright.

Good thing that leaf opinions is as worthwhile as hillary speech on morality and ethics.
Socialism is shit, period.

>Why is America so resistant to socialism?
It's getting less so by the day. Older people are largely resistant because they lived through the red scare. Older people are dying though. Something like 70% of young people have positive associations with the word "socialism." More than they do with capitalism.

I think socialism should be limited to healthcare, not handouts. I believe every citizen of this countries health is important. But thanks for my answering my question monkeyhue. I don't feel like college should be "free" because it's already hard enough to find a job. If all these people have degrees it will just devalue the degree and make it harder to find jobs.
Why so bitter favela-faggot?
Let me tell you something about the American Dream fuccboi.
Spics all over the ricepads dreamt of a land so prosperous that you could eat to death.
Of a land so free and independent that you could possess enough weaponry to arm a small somalian army and it would be a right defended by god himself.
Of a land so proud of itself that you could stamp their colors and symbols on your truck,tits,underwear,ballsack,forehead and/or house and you would be applauded for such action.
This is the american dream, boy.
Not a nanny state where your weapons were taken away and the criminals run free putting your kids in freezers.
But a land where you are given the freedom to do whatever the fuck you want with yourself.
The dream all wall-hoppers are sweetened with when they make the horrible journey through the cruel desert, puting their lives at stake.

Because I was working hard, damn hard to move out of this shithole LEGALLY, then comes the fucking FBI and does a worse job than OUR Dept of federal investigation.
It's like the hope of at least moving to a better country is worth nothing anymore because THERE AREN'T good countries, at least it's what it'll happen if hillary wins.

But the fundamental basis of socialism is collectivist goals.
There is no such thing as "working for yourself" in socialism

The Man Who Told the Truth
Robert Heilbroner fessed up to the failure of socialism
David Boaz | January 21, 2005
Robert Heilbroner, the bestselling writer of economics, died early this month at the age of 85. He and John Kenneth Galbraith may well have sold more economics books than all other economists combined. Alas, their talents lay more in the writing than the economics. Heilbroner was an outspoken socialist; if only a libertarian could write an introductory book on economics that could—like Heilbroner's The Worldly Philosophers—sell 4 million copies.
Reading some of Heilbroner's essays over the years, I admired his honesty about the meaning of socialism. Consider this excerpt from a 1978 essay in Dissent:
Socialism...must depend for its economic direction on some form of planning, and for its culture on some form of commitment to the idea of a morally conscious collectivity....
If tradition cannot, and the market system should not, underpin the socialist order, we are left with some form of command as the necessary means for securing its continuance and adaptation. Indeed, that is what planning means...
The factories and stores and farms and shops of a socialist socioeconomic formation must be coordinated...and this coordination must entail obedience to a central plan...
The rights of individuals to their Millian liberties [are] directly opposed to the basic social commitment to a deliberately embraced collective moral goal... Under socialism, every dissenting voice raises a threat similar to that raised under a democracy by those who preach antidemocracy

Sorry to hear that, man. I think some socialism is good when it's limited to healthcare. But importing tons of immigrants is why socialism seems terrible especially in Europe and my country. If the socialists in control were more nationalist then I think it could be a good thing, but I agree it's shit if your country is socialist and importing migrants en masse.
It's inevitable

No stop saying "I think" and prove it.
Pro tip you can't because you're wrong.
Government ruined medicalcare making it horribly expensive not the market
Ffs pets in your nation have quicker and less expensive care than people because it is allowed to mostly work on a market model not government rationing.

>Why is America so resistant to socialism?
if you really want to know, it's because:
>"I guess the trouble was that we didn't have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew—at least they claimed to be Communists—couldn't have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves."
—John Steinbeck; "A Primer on the '30s." Esquire, June 1960: 85-93.
People in America all think they're going to hit it big and get rich, and when that happens they don't want it to be under a socialist system. They're voting for would-be futures which won't happen to a vast majority of them.

You have no idea, socialism increase the government power, which in turn makes very appealing to the WORST kind of scum to use public money to rob people. Socialism kills, that's it period.

We had widespread socialist poularity in the early twentieth century and they all turned out to be con artists. We are big enough that we can see several different political models and every city run by democrats is a miserable failure.

How the fuck exactly was America resistant to socialism? As soon as women got the right to vote, they voted in socialism in America just like they did everywhere else.

Bullshit. You won't find it at a national, or federal level if you tried.
You may find it a state, county or municipal level, however, depending on demography.
Ironically, the only "socialist" states that are remotely successful are full of white people.
>Is it because Americans have such godtier genetics?
God no.
the whole
>60% white
meme is a testament to Americans being fucking mongrels. And we are, but its nothing to be ashamed about.
The fact that there are more successful "german" and "irish" americans than there are actual Irishmen or Germans in the world is also a testament that a measure of what constitutes politically applied "genetics" is also bullshit.

Our quality of live keeps raising with every generation.
Socialism was supposed to be the natural progression from capitalism.
Never worked because capitalism and the market system is pretty fucking awesome.
Look at the United States GDP
Socialist countries live off our fast food, Iphones, hollywood movies, cars, and all the other amenities that are made by American businesses.
We are the spoke in the center of the wheel.
