The OP in this post is related to DUST. The GD is for threads about general DUST discussion. So locking this thread means I can't have a topic about pubstomping and Obama.

1. Obama has done a crapton of terrible things, but so has every single president since George Washington left office.
2. Socialism is far more preferable than the corporate oligarchy we currently live in.
3. If you hate the government giving affordable healthcare to millions of Americans who were previously unable to get any and you hate the government making insurance companies stop selling people BS insurance policies to people who don't know what good insurance looks like, that's your problem. Not the rest of the country's.
4. Well over half of the civilized nations in the world have free health care for their citizens because people have a RIGHT to PROPER healthcare regardless of income bracket. The only reason we don't is because money has been running politics and dictating laws since before most of you were born. Thanks Koch Brothers!
Ok, I'm done. Have fun battling this out. I'll just leave this here for people actually willing to bash both conservatives and liberals when they are wrong. |

I agree with most of what you said except #2.
Socialism has never and will never be a good form of government. Socialism borderlines communism in too many ways.
In fact many of the government's the USA considers communist actually consider themselves socialist. The former Soviet Union being a prime example as USSR stood for Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. East Germany was also socialist due to its USSR connection. Many dictator controlled countries like Iraq and Syria considered themselves socialist as does North Korea.
On paper socialisim seems to be the perfect government where everyone has equal rights to goods and services. Socialism is the working man's government, thus the use of the hammer and the sickel logo used by the USSR.
However, in reality socialism almost always fails due to greed and corruption by the few in power, causing the people to suffer and the government to collapse or slide into full communism or a dictatorship.

Any government that works is a blend of ideas from all sources because no singular political philosophy can run a country for long. Communism is a higher form of socialism, basically socialism carried to it's furthest extremes. However socialism, when blended with the proper elements from other governing ideologies, can be a very good thing. Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia have socialist economies, including much more pervasive welfare states than in the US, but are all free democracies.
The usual US definition of socialism is closer to the political definition of totalitarianism, even Congressmen say "socialism" instead of "totalitarianism." In the academic world, "socialism" really means "state control of the economy." Socialism isn't really a bad thing in and of itself, the real question is "How much is too much socialism?"
Here's some food for thought:
Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Communism: a political theory advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.
Totalitarianism: a political system in which the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever possible.
Notice how far apart socialism is in definition from the other two it is always lumped in with? Socialism is a means of keeping corporate money from taking over as it has in the US, and a means of insuring the well-being of all citizens. The problem is that socialist policies can be carried too far, which leads to many of the terrible socialist governments we see today. |

Socialism is a transitional stepping stone towards complete Communism. There has never been a complete Communist state, because that would mean that there would no longer be a need for government and the workers would completely control the means of production. The foundation for socialist revolution has already been laid out in Capitalist European countries, through the implementation of universal healthcare. The second wave of Socialism will be born in the West and will not be recognized by Capitalists until it is far too late.
The people will have their day, and it is up to us to bring it to pass.

Thanks Obama for the largest tax hike, bankers never get punished, Americans being prosecuted for crimes that should not even be a law. Its a F**** plant, you drink barley and hops just let me smoke and get the f*** out of my home and personal life. Go work on Tariffs and trades and stop screwing the middle class. I said it, Obama the worse presidents since Carter. Over 10 Trillion added to our deficit since he has been president. If you combined all the deficits of all past presidents it would not even come close to what he has spent. I say him for he was the Commander and Chief(POTUS) and he signs the yearly budget. I know 2008, well guess what let the markets adjust themselves and stop trying to spend our way out of a recession now a full on depression. Ya I said, cant wait for him to be out.

These Scandinavian countries have modified versions of Socialist and democratic governments. In fact I believe Sweden still technically has a form of monarchy intertwined in its government. So it is no shock a nation of people that still has a King, doesn't see the problems with socialism.
Also, Sweden has some of the highest taxes in the world, as much as 65% of your earned income is taken from you, and redistributed to others. It is insane and I would never live there.
Also the few good examples of successful socialist countries is far outweighed by the list of failed socialist countries.

Spoken on a forum that exists on and is facilitated by technology that was developed and improved through free-market capitalism and methods of production.
Don't give me that "It would be the same or better with a government based socialist economy." It would not. When funds and resources run out people tend to start fighting.

Communism: a political theory advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. Totalitarianism: a political system in which the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever possible. Notice how far apart socialism is in definition from the other two it is always lumped in with? Socialism is a means of keeping corporate money from taking over as it has in the US, and a means of insuring the well-being of all citizens. The problem is that socialist policies can be carried too far, which leads to many of the terrible socialist governments we see today. These Scandinavian countries have modified versions of Socialist and democratic governments. In fact I believe Sweden still technically has a form of monarchy intertwined in its government. So it is no shock a nation of people that still has a King, doesn't see the problems with socialism. Also, Sweden has some of the highest taxes in the world, as much as 65% of your earned income is taken from you, and redistributed to others. It is insane and I would never live there. Also the few good examples of successful socialist countries is far outweighed by the list of failed socialist countries.
Not to mention the NFL changed their rules to a system that largely follows socialism. A controlled socialism if you will.
And they have thrived like never before since then. The corruption has, for the most part, been removed from their system. |

This thread used to be fun.
As I'm British - I can outboast both sides of America.
We have social heath care and our banks are something like 300% of GDP.
Your banks have less than than 100% of GDP.
Fools.
Anyway - [something about DUST - PLCs are OP or something].

As long as I'm in the epicenter of capitalism (U.S.A), then I will conform to society. Though, I believe that Socialism will be the way of the future.

If you don't post "Thanks Obama", you will get attacked on the way to your car from work by a thug.
Sounds like my home state Oklahoma.
For some reason EVERYTHING is his fault. Don't we have a senate or something making the laws and rules?

People get the government they deserve, kind of like we get the game we deserve. I blame all of you!
"If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. ... If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period." <-The degree of honesty demanded by most American voters, which is why most of us deserve to be ruled by the sort of power-hungry liars that tend to lead our political parties.
As you get old enough to not only distrust the opposition, but also distrust your own political party's leaders, you begin to see the merit of preserving freedom and reposing as little power as possible in governments. The safety and utopian solutions (and sometimes even the freedoms) politicians offer you are almost always persuasive truths mixed with enticing lies.

I never actually understood the "thanks obama" thing. thank your local senator and congress man, obama has only two legislative powers and they are to move bills to the top of the schedule and veto (which can be over ruled by the legislature). your local senators and congress people are to blame for all legislation that gets passed that you dislike. you want change? vote out the incumbents and elect someone else with different ideas.
government, it's not that hard.

It's all about reading the underlying tone in the text. It seems you failed to do that, I guess?
By the by: Obama has done plenty of moves outside of his power and gotten away with it. Technically his "health care" plan is in violation of the constitution.
Thanks, Obama! (x2) There. I did it for you. Not that hard, no?

Thanks, Obama! For allowing me to make a profit yesterday because I flew a dropship once. One. Single. Time. I hate not being in the air, but thank you anyways.
EDIT: The thread was moved into the Locker Room despite being about DUST in the OP. Thanks, CCP. My faith in you has been lost.
