It's very interesting how each government brainwashes its people to accept whatever system they currently have. In the United States, for example, people believe in voting for their representatives in government to make political decisions. Almost no one talks about voting for the CEO of their company.
If representative democracy is the best form of government in politics, why not representative democracy for running companies? Even if employees like the existing system in their company, they can just vote for the same CEO and corporate structure. Instead, many Americans abdicate their powers to even make that decision - they see economic democracy as something dangerous, something that can't work, while at the same time tell you that the lack of political democracy is dangerous.

This redneck says...WE HAVE A CONSTITUTION. WE HAVE A BILL OF RIGHTS. READ THEM. THATS WHY THEY ARE THERE. The reason our country is great is because of THESE DOCUMENTS. Not in spite of them. We can go the way of canada. substandard health care. Unreasonable taxation. (like ours is reasonable)ect. We can go the way of other socialist countries. Then we can give up our freedoms. We can all dress the same way. We can all earn the same amount no matter the jobs we do. We can all go to bed hungry, I mean fed some kiind of gruel. And wait for an appointment for a year or so for surgery needed within 2 months or die. We can have all these things. All we need do is move to another country. Go ahead...LEAVE. Give it a try. Go elsewhere. We really don't want you here. We tolerate you because of our CONSTITUTION. You and others like you who are still dependant on your parents or the gov't and cannot or will not understand the reasons for these documents can go anywhere they want to. By the way we live in a representative republic. Although it is a form of democracy. It isn't always mob rules. Nor should it be.

capitalism all the way, sorry dude your way has been proved wrong all throughout history. here is a thought, you and all your stupid hippie friends pack up and move over there, live for a few years, and see how you like getting taxed 75 percent of everything you own. i have a feeling you'll want those poor people to go and get jobs instead of you pulling the dead weight for them, unless your just that kind of person that doesn't mind getting walked on. in those countries when you get pulled over for speeding or something like that they look at your bank account and decide how much you can afford. one guy had to pay 75,000 dollars for a speeding ticket

Oh yeah, socialism is great. Higher unemployment, lower standard of living, inferior economy, more government control over business, more welfare, free but substandard healthcare. By the way, Americans give more to charity than ANY other nation on Earth, and we have the #1 economy and highest average wage per worker. Capitalism rules.

in case you ask a capitalist to describe intense socialism in one observe, they are going to say "slavery". in case you ask a socialist to describe intense capitalism in one observe, they are going to the two say "feudalism" or "anarchy". "Feudalism" is whilst we had kings and queens; the socialist would be comparing CEOs of greater beneficial firms to kings and queens. So the undemanding fears are that Socialism takes away a man or woman's very own options and makes people artwork for the "suitable" selection (and whoever makes a decision what the "suitable" selection is is in many cases particularly darn properly off), and Capitalism does not require a reliable helpful authority, meaning that it relatively is simpler for small communities of folk to acquire a good number of wealth and ability. relatively, the two techniques are not opposites. you might have a reliable helpful government that could furnish each and every thing, that's involved by its GDP and not the people who're component of the government. The observe for that form of government that is going to the two the extremes people are terrified of is "Fascism". So relatively, whilst people communicate touching directly to the evils of Capitalism and the evils of Socialism, they are relatively speaking touching directly to the evils of Fascism. you are able to no longer relatively evaluate Socialism to Capitalism straight away, yet you are able to evaluate the two to Fascism. it relatively is like comparing chocolate, vanilla, and earwax. What people are terrified of is a small team of folk getting a good number of ability and say over how individuals stay their lives. i in my opinion think of Capitalism has a greater useful set of strategies for combating this from happening, yet no person can ever be so married to their very own philosophy that they'd't see its flaws. explanation why i think of Capitalism is greater useful is using the fact Socialism relies upon upon a small team of folk having a good number of ability at the beginning. it relatively is struggling with fireplace with fireplace. in spite of the fact that if that reliable team is "all of society", so as that no person man or woman has too lots say in how issues take place, "all of society" nevertheless acts lots like that small team of folk who've a good number of ability and administration, and nevertheless reasons all a similar issues. So i in my opinion view Socialism as combating a fireplace by utilising burning the development down intentionally.

Because Americans are selfish and would rather die than divert tax dollars away from the miltary to go to education, medical care, and better low cost housing.
They believe charity is a sin!!!!

Really? In what country is there absolutely zero people that go to bed hungry? Name one.
Norway and Sweden have poverty due to immigration. I bet those immigrants go to bed hungry:

Socailism does not work. it is counter to human nature.
The only time it can work (like the NT church) is when the system is entirely voluntary and those that don't contribute fairly can be expelled
