Socialism

[Okeefenokee]

It's entirely the American right's fault. When you get a couple of generations of right-wing retards calling everything from unions and welfare states, to just raising taxes "Socialist", it's completely natural that younger generations grow up to think that if the spectrum of Socialism really goes from capitalist sponsored welfare state to Soviet style totalitarianism, they think they picked the nice Socialism.

What neither the right wing retards or the left wing retards seem to understand is that the majority of those Americans who today call themselves "Socialist", aren't. They are "Socialist" in the same way all of us here "really"(according to some) are racist, nazi, cisgender homophobes...

No. It's the fault of parents that didn't teach their children that stealing is wrong. They grow up to be adults that don't think stealing is wrong. Then you get a society that believes it is okay to take according to need with no regard for ownership.

That must have hit a lot closer to home than I expected.

I personally don't want my hard earned taxes stolen from me at gunpoint to fund the bloated US military budget. Audit the Pentagon

[Okeefenokee]

And I wish my taxes weren't used to fund a welfare state, the opioid epidemic, and murdering a million babies a year.

But you know what they say, if wishes and dreams were horses then beggars would ride.

You're really dumb.

The point is, if you want to take your money out of the pot, then everyone else gets to as well, and there's a shitload more of it spent on your sacred cows than there is on mine.

Bjorn... pssst: Taxation is theft.

...and, Okee's service record is not a counter-argument. Just so you know.

:goteam: :drunk:

Even if I disagree, I can acknowledge that you are one of the few I trust to have a more consistant rather than self-contradictory belief when it comes to the issue of taxation and theft. If I knew Okee to truly believe that "taxation is theft" too, then I'd leave it alone as it's at least a consistant belief.

As I knew it would, though, his reply to SF reveals he is ok with having other peoples property taken against their consent, as long as it's funding his sacred cows. The sacred cows that benefit him personally. So, when he defines theft the way he does, his military does indeed become a counter-argument. Not against his service, as much as his victimhood pussy-ass wants to make you believe, but against his logic - or lack thereof.

That's not what I said at all.

Go make up some more shit, fucking liar.

Stop lying.

Where's the lie, faggot?

More money goes to your welfare programs than the military, so pony up bitch.
