In terms of high school social studies, socialism sounds great because you get free stuff and free services. The reality is slaves essentially have to make the free stuff and provide the free services, while everyone else lives like kings. Why do you thinknazis had work camps? Nazis killed anyone in those camps not capable of work.
Except that isnât socialism and even if it was it most certainly isnât libertarian socialism.
Welfare is guillotine insurance, usually introduced by liberals and conservatives to neutralise socialism if it is gaining popularity. For example, Winston Churchill and Otto von Bismarck.

More educational links are welcome as always, but if heâs not going to bother at least skimming the earlier comments that demonstrate his category error then heâs not going to read them, either.

Thatâs not socialism, you really need to at least have a passing knowledge of how it works before telling people itâs evil.

Talk to the Hitler
[
Edit](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Political_views_of_Adolf_Hitler&action=edit§ion=8)
In Hitlerâs mind, communism was a major enemy of Germany, an enemy he often mentions in Mein Kampf . During the trial for his involvement in the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler claimed that his singular goal was to assist the German government in âfighting Marxismâ.[107] Marxism, Bolshevism, and communism were interchangeable terms for Hitler as evidenced by their use in Mein Kampf :
Later in his seminal tome, Hitler advocated for âthe destruction of Marxism in all its shapes and formsâ.[

Oh, you and your facts. Itâs right there in the name! (For every complex problem, there is a simple obvious solution that is wrong. For this very simple problem, the answer is NO.) And i am in agreement with the post upthread, how did we get past 100 posts on a topic where the answer is NONONONONO!!!

Youâre absolutely right, I just jumped over it⌠I really donât have an opinion one way or the other, i just have a high-school-social-studies education on these topics. I should be more pro-socialist, I get free government medicare and ss income, and havenât worked in nearly 20 years, and iâm middle aged. This website e-mailed me this topic, because a week ago i commented on something else. I deleted the e-mail, but might figure out a way to unsubscribe, Iâm not a conversationalist.
The problem is USiansâ flawed semantics. NOT FREE. Socialists understand this. Conservatives try to push the lie.
The truth? TAXES. Under socialism, everyoneâs taxes would support all people equitably, and reduce the burden against disposable income.

Click on your picture (the green circled R) in the right hand corner of the screen. A drop down menu will appear. In that menu, directly below your R, there will be three icons, a ribbon, an envelope, and a gear. Click on the gear. Youâll go to a new screen now. On the left side of the screen, click Emails.

It is simple to test this hypothesis: Gate crash a neonazi meeting and start to Sing âThe Internationaleâ. Wait til the hilarity ensues.
