¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI¡¯ll just say that 99% of the people I see using the words ¡°socialism¡±, ¡°communism¡±, ¡°fascism¡± seem to have no idea whatsoever of the definition of those words. Those words have become meaningless epithets which people hurl at people they disagree with. They might as well just call the person a doodyhead. ? Rhonda ? ?

Newsflash ,nobody is preaching communism or even socialism as you imagine it."Socialism is just a rightwing battle cry for anything that actually helps people.? There are at least 2 schools of thought. The"? conservative " approach? seems to wish to repeal the 20th century, in favor of pure capitalism , or at least trickle down economics , Milton Friedman , Arthur Laffer? , Ayn Rand theory.? It doesn't work. It 's practice is what gave Karl Marx so much traction.? The synthesis , what conservatives deride as socialism , is essentially what we experienced during the FDR administration. To oversimplify , allowing just enough of socialism into a? heavily leaning capitalist mix? in order to calm the extremes of capitalism and generally raising the quality of life for all and actually making capitalism that much more sustainable and accessible.? Of course academics can be dead wrong , as examples I submit Arthur Laffer and Milton Friedman . Lwyers can be dead wrong I submit Rudy Giuliani. Yet? I was speaking of the aggregate . BTW I find it disturbing that on this forum , I have seen poet Amanda Gorman scorned and gunman Kylr Rittenhouse defended.? ?
