Can your average conservative go a day without saying, "Socialism

[whyverne]

doesn't work". I just heard that again for about the sixth time this weekend.

Do they know the meaning of "doesn't work".

Seems like I spent over half my life worrying about the USSR and now I'm going to spend the rest of my life worrying about China.

I'm not necessarily promoting socialism, I'm jus' saying.

If I say my van doesn't work, it really doesn't work. It just sits there. It doesn't work for a while then quits, it doesn't come in second in a race, it just doesn't work, period.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, it's bugging me; that's all.

3. It is amazing the number who cannot tell you what Socialism is--

they just think it is bad.

5. That's like asking them not breathe

It's a necessity, they might collapse without saying it.

6. Most can't tell you what socialism actually is.

That's what I think is so funny about their complaints about HCR. If they think making people buy private insurance is socialism, it shows they have no idea what they are talking about.

7. I just ask them to point out all the ways Scandinavia is a hellhole

and then point out that the 'liberal media' always makes sure they take all the top spots in best places on earth - no matter what yardstick is used to measure it.

8. They don't know what socialism is. I think seeing it in real life would be a great experience

for them. Too bad there's about zero chance of it happening anytime soon.

9. They can't and they don't even know what it is.

To them socialism = totalitarianism.

10. Communism..

... doesn't work but socialism has worked and is working pretty damn well.
