Does Socialism get a bad rap?

Listening to Jim Carrey on Bill Mayer reminded me the amazing benefits of socialism. I think Socialism is going to transform the US and make for a much better society like Norway and Sweden. Hopefully Trump will be impeached and we can get to work making this great country even better.

socialism is good, in theory, obviously. but it fails to account for reality. that is the difference. once you decide to live in reality and accept it for what it is, you realize this shit cannot happen unless there is a massive consciousness upgrade to every human on this planet. until that happens, competition is life.

Socialism doesn't exist, it's just a bunch of rich folks talking about equality to boost their ego.

You can't compare the US to Norway. Norway has massive conventional oil endowments and a low population. Adjust for oil wealth and you have an argument

>stealing all the wealth and power of everyone in a country and giving it all to politically connected bureaucrats is good
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lives_of_Others

>muh definition of socialism
it's the theory to which i was referring, bro. sharing is caring and giving to other is good. obviously stealing from rich to give to poor isn't good and that's why it hasn't worked yet. read the rest of my first post and think on what it implies.

Socialism is just another meme, countries that actually tried socialism have also rejected it again later on. Humans are just impossible to deal with whatever system you give them.

in socialism you have to reason to work

Socialism- aka the middle class paying for everything

Im Danish and I fucking hate our insane tax rates. You do get a lot of free stuff though, e.g. free education, free high quality health care, $900/month for living expenses as a student etc. wages are high too. Aside from the high tax rates and too big governments, Denmark and Norway are great countries. Sweden used to be great too but is shit now because of all the refugees and political correctness.

Don't worry, we're gonna be fucked in a few years too. We import mudslimes in huge quantities and our government is starting to become as full of shit as the murican government. I only hope that I'll be dead before it goes completely to shit

it's fitting he champions socialism, ideology of choice for manipulative psychopaths

Neoliberal Socialism:

>Banks are too big to fail, we need to socialize the losses (and also plebs pay for muh armee)

Stalinist Socialism:
>The Party is too big to fail, socialize the caviar (and also plebs pay for muh armee)

Actual socialism:

>The People are too big to fail, we need to socialize the state's profits as a divident shared to everyone

This last one ain't never gonna happen

One day while Andy was masturbating, Woody got wood. He could no longer help himself! He watched as Andy stroked his juicy kawaii cock. He approached Andy which startled him and make him pee everywhere on the floor and on Woody too. Being drenched in his urine made him harder than ever! Woody: "Andy Senpai! I'm alive and I want to be INSIDE OF YOU." Andy: "Oh Woody Chan! I always knew you were alive! I want to stuff you up my kawaii ass!" Woody grabbed a bunch of flavored lube and rubbed it all over his head Woody: "Oh my! It's cherry flavored lube! Cherry is my favorite! Woody then stuffed his head up into Andy's tight ass! The other toys around the room watched intently as Woody shoved his head back and forth into Andy's nice ass, continuously making a squishy wet noise. The other toys also became aroused and they all gathered around Woody and Andy and started to urinate all over them, and then they started to masturbate. Andy: "Oh my goodness, Woody Chan! You are churning my insides up so well! Your nose is stimulating my prostate! OH YES! All the other toys became so aroused by this, that they could not help themselves anymore! They pushed Woody completely inside, and they all went inside. All of them wanted to be inside Andy's nice round ass. Andy: "No wait guys! My ass cannot hold this much! I'm getting so full! All the toys went inside of poor squirming Andy and pretty much, he was beyond full, and died from having his insides completely damaged. The mother came inside and found Andy, dead with a huge ass hemorrhage on his anus, with a HUGE belly full of toys.

you mean social democracy, not socialism. Norway and Sweden are social democratic countries.

China is doing the last one... kind of. The Chinese government has a large minority or majority stake in nearly all large corporations in China. Additionally, every board of directors for a corporation is required to have representatives from the Chinese government.

By doing this, corporations can benefit from personalized and tailored government policies (targeted subsidies, fast tracking regulatory policy, etc). This also means that the Chinese government profits when the nation's businesses do well. China has the world's second largest sovereign wealth fund: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Investment_Corporation

>Socialism is great
Says the 2nd richest man in Hollywood. How out of fucking touch can "SMOKIN P-A-R-T-Y cause I gotta" be. He goes to Whole foods and sees that a apple costs $2.99 each, and thinks, every apple, everywhere should cost $2.99 each. The government should regulate the price and apple can sell for.

I for one, like to buy my apples for $.30 each because my local retailer is trying to beat out the guy next door.

My country was ravaged by socialist policies, and if the left wins the elections again, it will inch even closer to Venezuelan levels of socialism. I can safely say that it fucked up everything for everyone. The one candidate that proposed economically liberal ideas suffered a assassination attempt last week.

Economically free countries have higher wages, lower crime rates, less corruption, etc etc. More state controlled countries have more poverty, inequality, lower wages, hunger, etc.

You burgers should be more scared, you are flirting with socialism, with Bernie Sanders and Osario-Cortez and this is not a path that you can back on easily.

It works in theory, but it's been tried many times now and it always results in corrupt dictators, poverty, or mass death. I guess that means that it's a good idea but humanity (aka those in power) isn't morally strong enough to handle it.

Jim Carey is not a socialist, he is a social democrat, learn the difference you ignorant fags

But this only applies to full communism (USSR, Venezuela, etc). Modern Europe, Sanders, Cortez, national healthcare, none of that is bad or dangerous at all. Right wingers are just pedding absolutism as a tool for shutting down their political opponents.

People are conflating socialism, communism, democratic-socialism and social democracy.
Social democracy is what 99% of all the US "socialist" want but it is one of the best systems around.

>Modern Europe, Sanders, Cortez, national healthcare, none of that is bad or dangerous at all.

Yes it is, it always starts with this.

Just look at the British NHS, it went to shit.

To add it's retarded how people go muh venuzulua about anything remotely socialisty, come on its going muh Somalia at any form of privatization.
Investing in free healthcare and education will help make all of American society more peaceful and prosperous i even agree with Sanders new deal 2 proposal

>in theory

Sick of seeing this time and time again.

Somalia is the prime example of capitalism. No social services and minimal taxes.

Socialism works for some things to a point and in certain situations if it’s done right. Just like any system, if the people at the top are incompetent or corrupt, it will fail. In order for socialism to succeed, the populace needs to be well educated and responsible, while also able to think collectively and see a stake in insuring the welfare of their fellow countrymen—this is why it works in ethnically and racially homogenous nations with overall high IQ and cultures that value responsibility. If you don’t have that, it collapses under the weight of its own gibs as specific identity groups seize control and game the system for their own benefit (and make this part of their identity) at the expense of those who are doing productive work.

Socialism is great if you have a homogenous society of high intelligence and hard working people with a strong moral compass and strict immigration laws

Socialism always assumes everyone will contribute, but we see countless times that this never happens

It assumes that taking from the "rich" to give to the poor is just and for the greater good. This is false and leads to extreme political rift from the resent caused by less than half a country paying for the other half just to exist.

Socialism always leads to communism on a long enough time line, and we know the results of this already

I fear for you, free countries, that have never experienced true state controlled economy. You are innocent.

The problem is that the nhs doesn't get enough funding and the conservatives over there are trying hard to undercut the nhs so they can privatize it.

>state controlled thing doesnt work
>the problem is that the state is not big enough
>lets tax people harder and make it bigger still
>repeat ad infinitum

Seriously, this is not a path you easily go back on, just study south american countries.

The UK spends the least on healthcare than any other EU nations while having an an aging and fattening population of course the nhs is under strain especially with greedy conservatives in leadershil position

Thabk you capitalism, you are my greatest ally.

get this garbage out of pol

It just doesnt work. You have universal healthcare in a lot of socialist countries and they are shit, in capitalist countries they are still shit, but they can still afford it (because they are mainly capitalist), but one socialist policy calls for another, and another and another, and as you become less capitalist, the system starts to not be able to pay for itself.

Socialism can realistically only work in a high trust, intelligent, relatively homogenous population. Otherwise with open borders you will get less capable people who want to take advantage of the generous welfare state without being able to contribute as much to it, and the higher amount of this will obviously start leading to a depletion in services and budget. Once the productive citizens and taxpayers are outnumbered by the low wage low skilled welfare recipients, you will have obvious problems.

>Socialism can realistically only work in a high trust, intelligent, relatively homogenous population.

Even so, it would still not work, because you couldnt solve the economic calculation problem that Mises exposed.

Seriously people, this debate was done for the whole of last century and socialism lost on all fronts. Why the fuck are you people still flirting with it? Is it because youve never suffered it? Because youve only ever knew freedom and prosperity and take it for granted?

biggest socialism program in world = US military: gummint housing, education, food, transportation, all paid by taxpayers at a net loss as a jobs program for southern conservatives

hahah, the one thing marxists dont realize is that when the workers seize the means of production, then production stops. hahahah

>oil wealth

See Venezuela.

The reason the nordic model "works" is because nordic countries are more capitalist than what internet socialists think. I mean, they are consistently top 20 in any list that orders countries by economic freedom and easiness of doing business.

Jim Carry is /ourmetaguy. I honestly think he is in on the joke of Dems.

reminder that the soviet union bureaucracy had to manage 24 million state-set prices and took to mimicking price signals in capitalist countries, even importing sales catalogues for some direction, yet commies today think that rational economic calculation is a spook problem

>Rich liberal tells us about how good socialism and sharing is without sharing his own wealth

Thats why

They just don’t market it well.
Why don’t they just say they want America to be more like Denmark, Norway or Finland ?
That’s a selling point you can actually work with,
Instead they just scream ‘Socialism’ and all right wingers have to do is say the word Venezuela back to them.

I know, its retarded.

>Why don’t they just say they want America to be more like Denmark, Norway or Finland ?

Denmark is even more capitalist.

There is a ranking of economic freedom, you know. heritage.org/index/ranking

listening to millionaires talk about socialism, NEXT

why don't you move to Venezuela with all of your buddies and start there since it's a small country full of resources. Surely if you can succeed there, you can succeed anywhere!

This

The "nordic model" meme needs to die. Stable, reliable industries operating in a free market economy is what made the Scandinavian countries successful.

I think a strong welfare-state is what they really want, it's why pictures of the DSA is always women, their politics is a sublimated desire to be provided for, but the marxism and socialism is all a social-signalling intellectual posturing and a fucking twitter larp

socialism is always about rich fucks convincing poor fucks to fuck over a different set rich fucks so the first set of rich fucks can get money

In the imagination of an idiot they mean.

Jim Carrey is insane and lives a life of escapism.
He gave his girlfriend herpes 1, herpes 2, and gonnoreah, and got her hooked on drugs. Years after she killed herself, he walks around pretending like he "doesn't exist and everyone is him, and he is everyone". It's pseudo-Buddhism he turned into escapism. If he isn't himself, he doesn't have to deal with his past actions and guilt. And now he's just crazy pretending like a god damn guru. Sad and gross.

Not even good in theory. Even with omniscient leaders (assuming social ownership of factors of production = central planned economy = economy managers elected by society), no economic calculation can be made in the absence of property exchanges.

WTF I hate private property now

Get a job.

National Socialism is the only kind that has ever worked at all.

Furthermore, socialism has never worked for any society. Too many taxes and too much governmental control cause the rich to leave, and all the country is left with is mediocre shits who can't run a business, let alone are even motivated to, since all of their profits go directly to the fucking overlords. It's too slow of a process to have every civilian consistently vote on the distribution of everything, and it's tyrannical to let some high horse bourgeois royalty who never earned his own status in his life choose what to do with the entire country's profits. It's evil, and doesn't work. Capitalism actually follows natural order. Hierarchies are embedded in our cognitive structure, and have been for hundreds of millions of years. "Parent-Child" connection is technically a hierarchy. And that'd dated back to before plants existed. Forcing equal distribution because some people are too shit to do anything for society doesn't work and results in death. We need to find something for the bottom 10%. We need to open jobs for them or something, but you can't just act like throwing money at them will help anything, if anything it will make them pass on information and fears, literally embedded into them as people, to be needy little shits who TRY to sabotage their life because that's the way their ancestors discovered was the easiest way to make it through life
