Sugarcoating Socialism the French Way

Sorry, anecdotel stories are not evidence.

I have seen Detroit and Flint and the near squaleur that people live in.

The book is not Marxist. It is a well researched social science book on the causes of poverty in the US. Sorry to see your ideology blinds you to the plight of your fellow citizens.
 
Where have I said any of this. Seriously, stop spewing partisan nonsense and actually address what is being said.

Yaol Herr'Commandant..:roll: I bow before thee and shall never again oppose your awesomeness.... :roll:

I never said YOU said it.. it's NOT ALL about you BOO-BOO... but I DO like what you said about addressing what was said... SO... do you care to address what was said, or does your awsomeness preclude such?
 
Sorry, anecdotel stories are not evidence.

I know those pesky eye-witness accounts are incredible when compared to the intellectual spew you've been reading from a person who has never set foot in sec-8 anything... I withdraw my submission of personal experience and submit to your third hand literary genius..."anecdotel" :roll:
 
Anecdotal evidence is unconfirmable, that is why it is not used as evidence. Pretty simple logic actually and not some high intellect ivory towerism.

Since we cannot know what you saw beyond what you tell me you saw, I cannot know if it true. Hence why it takes multiple similiar accounts for anecdotal evidence to be accepted.

The book is based on peer-reviewed research that uses multiple sources. Even then, it is just part of the picture.
 
Sugarcoating Socialism the French Way ...






oOOOo that sounds dirty ... Can I see some pics ??? Im getting horny !!!
 
Save the Marxist, elitist literature for the birdcage where it is best suited for duty!


Which is it? Marxist or elitist? The concepts of Marxism & elitism are not complementary.

Then if I didn't say it, what's your point? And if you think someone else has actually said this, quote them. Any fool can run a bunch of claims, but they are meaningless until you can actually show someone saying it.
 
That's not what I nor the article is saying. You can provide some help, but promises of full social support for retirement is unaffordable.

I missed that vote. I must have been out of the country when we became socialist. Seriously, when has our government promised us full social support for retirement or any other social program of significance?

America is no where near to or even remotely on a path for European style socialism. If we were, there would have been a legitimate discussion about National Health Insurance this passed year, not some type of watered down regulation that largely enriches the private sector.

Sorry, but all we have or will ever have here is a minimal safety net. We, as Americans, do not have the appetite for much more.

This Limbaugh/Faux news discussion of socialism makes for nice sound bites, but frankly is quite intellectually dishonest. Its always a good idea to know what a word means before using it in a sentence. Those that want to discuss socialism in America have some homework.

Frankly being that you are a "student" you were probably not out of the woumb, much less out of the country. I understand we allowed you to be indoctrinated in Progressive thought, but that does not preclude your personal quest for the truth..

the term SOCIALST you hear bantered about, is an over simplification for the masses.. in truth, these are Totalinarian-Marxist (Marxist-Progressive) programs.. Marxism is close enough for some Americans to call it socialism. I don't care what you call it.. my preference is Generational Slavery.

It does no good to argue what anyone calls it.. your either for it (Socialist) or you are against it (Capitalist).. GEEEZ pick a side a take a stand, but argue for your side, don't simply denigrate the opposition, as we see that coming a mile away!

Did you ever notice nobody wants to argue the merits of Marxism, but Marxists ALWAYS rather attack the messenger. That is because if the ignorant masses knew who they where, they'd be run out on rails just like the 30's.. It's coming agian so make sure you are on the side of the Consitution and not the Progressives... the recoil probably won't be as benign as the last time.

You're saying lets go ahead and "feed the bears... just a little won't hurt"... yes it does hurt, that's why we now have generations of entitlement slaves.

Why would anyone argue the merits of something they are not supporting? Strawman much?

This one too, was not directed to you .. I know it's hard for you to understand not everything written here is to or about you or your eloquent posts. You seem to have an ongoing issue with your exaggerated sense of self-importance...

Sorry Boo-boo.. next time I'll actually review at your responses to see if you've actually posted something worth responding to.... Maybe I'll even join in your general degradation of other posters.. looks like fun!

Sooo... did you have anything useful to say or is this personal attack the extent of it? I know it's your SOP, but really... think hard!
 
Good or bad, welfare is a form of socialism, WIC is a form of socialism, the food stamp program is a form of socialism.

Any time private, and lawfully aquired property (money) is taken from one person with equal, unalienable rights to succeed or fail and given to another ...with identical equal, unalienable rights to succeed or fail at the hand of government, a form of socialism has occurred.

You were probably educated in a socialist school unless you were born with a silver spoon and have a trust fund waiting for you. Your parents got a tax break by having you which I paid for because I have no children. Do you ride on the socialistic highways, shop at the malls paid for by bonds, have you received a student loan yet, do you watch tv, go to parks, drink water, or are you still too young to reap the socialist benefits, yet?

Well, I don't know that strawmen should be ignore unless directed at someone. When I read something silly, I have this need to respond. no one is arguing in favor of Marxim as best I can see. So, why do you speak of people defending it? Strawman maybe?
