I'm in the favor of socialism.

[above_average]

Why have some corporate pig make 40 mil a week while some people go to sleep hungry?
And ther are always going to be free riders, so who cares

[haiguysitsandy]

Agreed. Most people aren't educated enough to grasp socialism as a theory beyond what they (incorrectly) interpret as the failings of socialism in the past, which failed for reasons far beyond their economic policies.

A better question is, why do 40 year olds post on the misc?

You have the right to the pursuit of happiness, key word being pursuit.

[Jim Jitsu]

Most people are probably against it because it doesn't work on a large scale whatsoever...

btw - R/p --------> that way

pretty ignorant statement op.

Take a look at our debt. Neither does Capitalism.

[Dude.Jon]

The companies who have honest hard working CEO's deserve everything they get. People who have no motivation in life and fail at everything don't deserve handouts. Socialism makes people be more lazy and try to be a bigger failure for more handouts. G

Lol at people who are saying past socialist societies failed because of reasons that don't have to do with socialism

Say a child born in wealth and a child born in poverty, what chance does the poor kid have?

What does the government recklessly spending more money than they take in on social programs have to do with Capitalism?

No, that's a question only a ******* would ask...

Well then blame the parents for having that child and bringing them into this world that way. It's not my or anyone else's responsibility to make sure that child succeeds.

Or we could let people get what they earn, its a crazy concept i know...

[Lean88]

take it to the R/P cuzz

But maybe I do believe that it is our responsibility to help the kid succeed?

What a *******

[ImpressiveGainz]

Socialism is for idealists who think people are actually altruistic by nature and will willingly do hard **** for the same compensation as people who clean toilets.

Failed idea in practice, stupid concept in general.

[Dude.Jon]

If you have nothing to contribute to society, society has nothing to contribute to you.

Survival of the fittest you liberal pussies.

So? Why does somebody's need necessitate the right to steal from someone else?

There will always be people who "need" things. I don't think it necessitates a claim to someone else's life.

[Bydded_Gryf]

OP, you will never convince bb.com that socialism is anything short of insane. This board is definitely right wing.

(libertarian here)

[Bucher15]

Well then you have every right to help them on your own terms. The government shouldn't take my hard earned dollars and distribute it to people of lesser incomes. Volunteered charity is one thing, but forced charity is another.

[Tony_Guidolini]

I approve of socialism. But that's because I'm half norwegian, and Norway is the biggest socialist country in the world. (They are also the best to live in, so I guess it works)

[dixon]

It's not MY responsibility. If you think it's your responsibility, then YOU pay. Don't force me to, you thief.

Norway isn't socialist. If you look on the Index of Economic Freedom, it is the 37th most capitalist country in the world. The only reason why Norway has a good standard of living is because of its capitalist, market orientated virtues, not its socialist wealth destroying vices.

Ha, what a terrible response. How does capitalism have anything to do with government spending? Anywho, it's definitely a broken system, but a hell of a lot better than socialism.

about 70% of wealthy people made there wealth through working, investments, coming up with new idea etc. about 30% inherited it.
