My first thought with those ingredients is pupusas, the basic dough for them is just corn flour, water, and salt. Cook the beef first to use as the main filling and save any leftover fat for grilling the pupusas later (since you don't have oil). Onions/tomatoes could make a very simple salsa, or just be cooked together with the beef. The eggs would make a nice topping at the end too.

If you want a good silenced rifle, there is an escalation in Morocco (night version) that gives a very very nice one and is relatively easy to complete.

$50-70, but it feels well worth it. I've been lucky enough to have the same stylist for about 7 years now, and she's absolutely phenomenal.

Always seems higher quality than taco bell to me, but there's only one near me and it's a bit out of the way. Fries are great, I like the quesadillas a lot too.

It's short but I really enjoyed it. It definitely feels like they'll be doing some DLC or a sequel at some point.

Couple of different products for curls, but I have very temperamental hair. Usually something for hold and something for keeping it moisturized.

It's really inexpensive for how good it is too. 99 cents for the big bottle where I live.

As for private property, there seems to be some division on that, so this will be a bit lengthier. Many socialists historically seem to be fine with what they deem "personal property", which they see as individual possessions that people freely choose to purchase or make. The problem arises when that property can be monetized or used to produce wealth or other products, such as a house you rent out to generate side income. Authoritarian socialist governments like the Soviet union would often confiscate personal property that was being used in such a way. The reasoning was that if people besides the individual owner could benefit from it, it would be better utilized as public property under government management instead of leaving it to the individual, who they believed would use their property to enrich themselves rather than to benefit their fellow citizens.

So basically, the fear under this could be that anyone who buys a house for rental properties/airbnbs, could end up having it seized by the government? Interesting.

Yep, precisely. This is one of the more recurrent (and I would say valid) critiques of socialist theory, that because it prizes the public/the society/the many over the private/the individual/the few, the internal logic of socialism can be very easily used by an authoritarian state to justify expanded property seizure and other means of social and economic control of citizens.

This new government would redistribute wealth & the means of production and abolish private property, and enforce equality across the population with the eventual goal being that this government would willingly dissolve itself once the Communist Utopia had been achieved and was no longer necessary.

Thanks for your explanation. This is one of the areas where I get stuck. What would this mean for people who own a house, or want to buy a house for example? And is what you have laid our what "modern" socialists, or people who are called socialists (like Bernie) actually want to see happen, or is that just what they have been branded with by the Republicans?

Modern socialists are a bit of a hodge-podge, folks like Bernie have primarily been more interested in high levels of taxation and social spending within an otherwise capitalist system (with some more fringe ideas here and there). But those like AOC seem closer to a revolutionary form of socialism, though her brand of socialist seem to want to achieve that revolution through radical governmental and institutional change rather than the violent revolution of the 20th century socialists.

The reasoning was that if people besides the individual owner could benefit from it, it would be better utilized as public property under government management instead of leaving it to the individual, who they believed would use their property to enrich themselves rather than to benefit their fellow citizens.

Some of these authoritarian governments also extended property seizures to personal property that was not being used in this way, such as books or art, using the argument that these expressions were subversive to the system of equality they had set up, and therefore posed an existential threat to their society. So even though most socialist theorists would draw a distinction between public, private, and personal property, socialist dictatorships always blurred these lines in a way that allowed them to confiscate more property from their citizens.

So rather than everyone laughing at Duncan and shaming him, how about someone explains to him (and me) in simple terms what socialism is?

I say this not as someone on Duncan's side, but as someone who just never really looked into the basic principles of socialism.

I'll take a crack at it (as a non-socialist).

Socialism is rooted in the belief that disparities in wealth or success are primarily the result of exploitation of the weak or marginalized by the wealthy and powerful, who marginalize the lower classes through biased institutions and traditions. Socialists deem this both morally wrong and pragmatically wrong, and view Capitalism as the ideological embodiment of this injustice.

Some earlier socialists believed capitalism would naturally create its own death spiral due to its flaws and inevitably be replaced by stateless communism, in which all people would live as natural equals. This was common among 18th-19th century socialists.

Socialists around the early 20th century started instead to believe that a forceful revolution against capitalism was necessary, followed by the replacement of the pre-existing state/government/culture with their own dictatorship which would then usher the country into a Communist utopia. This new government would redistribute wealth & the means of production and abolish private property, and enforce equality across the population with the eventual goal being that this government would willingly dissolve itself once the Communist Utopia had been achieved and was no longer necessary.

Legally speaking, the power to retaliate or prevent imminent attacks is clearly given to the commander in chief. Not saying it was justified or not in this situation, but it is legal. No comparative governmental power exists to instantly overhaul the healthcare system. This is probably a good thing, since blowing up one dude is vastly simpler than reforming a nation's whole healthcare system. If the president had the sole power to restructure the entire healthcare system at a whim, I honestly think that would lead to more harm cause you would have Presidents who aren't experts on healthcare scrapping it and revising it every 4-8 years (if not sooner) with no check on that power. Would be a disaster for most patients.

I guess? I know some people that really loved it, and it seemed to be better-selling and better received than 13 for sure. I enjoyed it but it didn't make me want to go back for completion after finishing the main story, which most other FF games have.

Depends. If they believe in equal rights between men and women, no. If they go all in on the extreme man-bashing stuff, they're probably deeply self-hating or putting on a front to try to get laid (or both).
