We just need to scrap or atleast fix NAFTA, get rid of the laws that make it hard for small business's to thrive and make it easier to obtain business licenses that don't make you jump through too many hoops since Large corporations are afraid of competition who can't squash it or buy them out of business.

They're scared of socialism because they're dumb.
And they can't have it anyway, because they're too dumb for it to work.
Socialism doesn't mean what it used to be. The government isn't going to take over all the means of production or redistribute their properties. That's what the rednecks still think.
More and more americans don't even have any properties anyway, they mostly have debts.

Not scared. We just believe in every man's right to take care of themselves and make their own choices. Freedom to succeed, freedom to fail. Both are part of a free society. If you take away one, you will lose the other.

There is a reason why Americans have invented by n large, the vast majority of the modern world. Its because everyone is able to do whatever the fuck they want upto and including failing terribly.

If you take away the ability of people to fail, then you will take away the motivation to succeed.

In 1920 year entire economy and the military of Germany is under the control of England and the United States. Germany 20-s - the poorest country in Europe. How Hitler was able to seize Austria, France and Poland? Who gave money to Hitler? The answer is simple - England and the USA.
It was beneficial to send Hitler to war with Stalin. 4 years, Stalin single-handedly crushing the Germans. Stalin asked the US and Britain to open a second front (5 times!). England and USA refused. "Allies" landed in Europe when Stalin could cope without them.
I want to notice that England promised Poland protection and a Declaration of war to Hitler. If so, why did England not have landed in Germany in the 41st? Hitler would not have been able to divide his strength on two fronts.
The answer is simple, England and the USA are war criminals. They started the Second World War, supplying Hitler with money and promising that do not attack Hitler when he attacked the USSR. Lend-lease - is a child's excuse. The percentage of military "aid" was very small (7% in 1942, of the total share of weapons in the USSR).
All your government are hypocrites and liars, they need to be judged. Under Stalin, all the Nations lived peacefully, had no problems with blacks and Arabs (Stalin was Georgian, Khrushchev was Ukrainian, the USSR never had any problems in the national plan). Why in Europe and the United States the Negro is the problem? The answer is simple - it is profitable to the American government.
Why lives NATO? NATO was meant to "protect" Europe from the USSR. The USSR collapsed, NATO still exists. Your government lied to us again, now you will not sleep quietly in their beds, you will experience fear. You know that we don't trust you and building up military power. You know that all your provocations, we will give the answer.

ccording to the government’s estimates, five million people are homeless in Russia (3.5% of the population), one million of whom are children and 50,000 of whom live in Moscow (IBT, 2014). It is not clear whether these numbers include four million “invisible people” (those who do not possess registration or “propiska”). Winters are especially problematic for homeless people in Russia – in Saint-Petersburg alone, 1,042 homeless people died in the winter of 2012/13

Socialism is workers ownership of the means of production.

>These ideas, on taking precise shape, gave birth to two principal currents: Authoritarian Communism and Anarchist Communism; also to a number of intermediary schools bent on finding a way between, such as State Capitalism, Collectivism, Co-operation; among the working masses they created a formidable workers' movement which strives to organise the whole mass of the workers by trades for the struggle against Capital, and which becomes more international with the frequent intercourse between workers of different nationalities. The following three essential points were gained by this immense movement of ideas and of action, and these have already widely penetrated the public conscience:

[1] The abolition of the wage system, the modern form of ancient serfdom,
[2] The abolition of individual property in the means of production, and
[3] The emancipation of the individual and of society from the political machinery, the State, which helps to maintain economic slavery.

>The problem became obscured in various ways. When speaking of Communism, most people think of the more or less Christian and monastic and always authoritarian Communism advocated in the first half of this century and practised in certain communities. These communities took the family as a model and tried to constitute "the great Communist family" to "reform man,". To this end, in addition to working in common, they imposed the living closely together like a family, as well as the isolation or separation of the colony from present civilisation. This amounted to nothing less than the total interference of all 'brothers" and "sisters" with the entire private life of each member.

Can't compare "the holy, the paradise, the undivisible" with anything civilized in its own time?

Maybe you are right. "The king(secretary)" issuing general amnesties to entire "years" of criminal prisoners at once was indeed a strange relic of the past.

Most of the revolutionary books were written in the prisons of the "middle ages" Tsarist Russia.
Not much came out of the prison of the workers paradise.. Not even letters.

25+5 without permission to write - what a lovely invention.

But it gave benefit to the Russian culture. All that lovely prison language and customs flowed into the general culture. Now they say mat is a core component of Russian language.

We didn'the have people starving to death in the US. To the best of my knowledge that wasn'the going on in England either and they were getting the shit bombed out of them. My families story may be anecdotal but you can'take convince me it was isolated.

Prove it. You've done no such thing. I've given reasoning based on macro theory why you're fucking stupid. You've done nothing of the sort.

The Eastern Bloc, particularly Poland and Ukraine, had some of the most fertile farmland in the East. To repeat myself: You're a counter-factual marxist shill. Fuck yourself.

I am FORCED to pay pension, healthcare and social security. By law. I do or I go to jail. I am not free to kill myself if I want to and save my own money for myself. Anything I earn, not matter how hard I work, is redestributed. I can not give my sons what I earn or what I want, because the state takes it away.

How is that not stealing? How is that not tacking away my freedom?

>No one wanted any 'perestroika'!! No one want's any crapitalism.

Protip: "Perestroika" started before Gorbachev, regardless of "wishes". There was simply no other option.

Andropov and his fellows recognized that "expansive economics" had hit the wall it always does.

The idea of "let's plant as much land with potato as possible" failed to "let's try to get the best yield out of a fixed amount of land".

>These forays into Communism differ from real Communism in many ways; and essentially in the two following; [1] payment in money instead of payment by labour; [2] the consumers have no voice in the administration of the business. If, however, the idea, the tendency of these institutions were well understood, it would not be difficult even today to start by private or public initiative a community carrying out the first principle mentioned. Let us suppose a territory of 500 hectares on which are built 200 cottages, each surrounded by a garden or an orchard of a quarter hectare. The management allows each family occupying a cottage, to choose out of fifty dishes per day what is desired, or it supplies bread, vegetables, meat, coffee as demanded for preparation at home. In return they demand either so much per annum in money or a certain number of hours of work given, at the consumers' choice, to one of the departments of the establishment: agriculture, cattle raising, cooking, cleaning. This may be put in practice tomorrow if required, and we must wonder that such a farm/hotel/garden has not yet been founded by an enterprising hotel proprietor.

No smart ass. She fled to Germany, of all places, and managed to get a job on an American army base. It's how she met my grandfather, he was in the Army.

This picture was taken in the aftermath of the 1937 Ohio river flood. It's a line of people waiting for relief after their homes were destroyed.

But dont let that get in the way of your commie bullshit

>You would be richer having none of the resource that you annexed the area for than having the resource that you annexed the area for
This is literally the definition of stupidity.
