Meanwhile, McCarthyists are perfectly fine with excessive amounts of farm subsidies that f*** with the prices of goods and the materials used, therein. You wanna talk about a controlled economy? Talk about real s*** instead of these glorified horror fantasies you have in your head. wat? i've seen plenty of conservatives say we should stop subsidizing farming because it just results in throwing away a lot of food --- Do good.

They're likely smart people if they're actually concerned with efficiency. Still, that misses the point that what is that policies like those, that manipulate prices and have the government's grubby mitts all over the various stages of that market, are what much closer to what socialism is and what people think socialism is Especially compared to just using tax dollars to invest in your infrastructure and your citizens.

First we should see how UBI works in practice by giving it to black people. Because really they deserve reparations considering how oppressed they are economically due to our racist history. If it greatly improves their living conditions and helps lessen inequality, maybe it would be good for the country as a whole. Right now black families have $5 for every $100 that a white family has and that's clearly not fair.

A fair number of people I've spoken to associate socialism with the former (even tho Scandanavia isn't really socialist) and not so much the latter And the bigger the country the more towards the latter you will end up.

I'm not generally one to agree with Krugman, but I do think there's an element of this at play:
https://twitter.com/paulkrugman/status/1029008916984881152 The GOP spent 8 years calling Obama and his policies socialist. He isn't, and rejected the label. But they might have been hustling backwards in labeling a president that most people basically like a socialist. Even DSA folks can be iffy as to what actually constitutes socialism; I imagine it's much the same among Democrats at large. --- What is this, a fair for ants? ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm not generally one to agree with Krugman, but I do think there's an element of this at play: People double down in their beliefs when the opposing side berates them. Trumpers didnt begin as devout Trumpers and democrats didn't begin as socialists. If socialism is associated with Obama and not Trump guess what happens? In terms of persuasion insulting the opposing side has the opposite effect. ... Copied to Clipboard!

antfair posted...I'm not generally one to agree with Krugman, but I do think there's an element of this at play: True. I was barely interested in politics before Trump won the nomination. Even voted for Obama. After he won the nomination I noticed all the hatred and rage from the Democrats and the Democrat owned establishment media (other than Fox News of course). It really piqued my interest. I'm not saying I won't ever vote for a Democrat again but it's gonna take a hell of a lot for them to earn my trust again. --- "Don't trade your authenticity for approval." -Kanye West ...
