soooooooo..

fucks sake, how about that "anti-semitism -awareness-act" they introduced recently

giving fedgov claim to cut schools funding if a student group on campus "delegitimizes" "demonizes" or "holds to a double standard(thats fucking rich)" the state of Israel

I'll look into it

source link on that?

https://fas.org/sgp/crs/mideast/RS22967.pdf

there's an entire website devoted to foreign aid breakdown, but I don't appear to have it bookmarked

reading through it it sounds like the money is given to Israel who on their word alone are supposed to give it to the paleys

when it isn't subject to holds, reductions or delays for any number of fucking double-speak terms

the beginning of the summary even begins with saying "yeah, we're trying to shut this shit off"

alright then, we're supposedly aiding paleys........ while letting Israel steamroll over them and abusing our power in the bad-joke-gone-on-too-long UN

who are entirely to blame for that situation to fucking begin with

but again, would seriously not give as much of a fuck if we could just stop burning money over it

and people who call bolivia an example of successful socialism now are also wrong

this

morales is a dictator

I completely forgot bolivia even exists

he silences his opposition by jailing journalists

my uncle had to fight in court for a long time to avoid being jailed

for working for previous governments

nationalist ones

anyway

has anyone read The Green Book™?

gaddafi's libya was a better example of successful socialism than bolivia

libya was richer in GDP per capita than the US

for a time

gaddafi's libya was also not a fucking sharia slave market

it actually wasnt

some islamic law was enforced there

but burqas and stuff

werent required

people who argue against socialism conveniently ignore libya

how much socialism are we talking? cuz the scandi bloks aren't doing that bad either

>how much socialism

no

you're either socialist or you're not

scandinavian countries arent socialist

they are free market capitalist with social programs

no, that's exactly it. I meant ratio of social policies

gaddafi's libya was an alternative to communism and capitalism @Jokerfaic

and was against both

have you looked into the Third Universal Theory?

I haven't heard of this.

you should read the green book

where does it fall on the creation or not of wealth?

dont quite know, but housing is considered a human right

neat

here let me quote something from the book

Housing is an essential need for both the individual and the family and should not be owned by others.

basically

you cant own a house

unless you live in it

🚁🚁🚁

permenantly

but by that metric said individual or family should shoulder the responsibility of maintaining said housing, no?

yeah

why not

and what about utilities?

water, electricity, gas?

all human rights, therefore free

the things you had to pay for there were things that werent considered human rights

except cars

you had to buy them

but the government subsidized 50% of the cost

so, food, clothes maybe?

i think you had to buy them

Hmmmmmm

you see

you cant say something is a human right

then charge money for it

and what about the labour required to produce the houses and utilities?

generating the power, cleaning the water

just because its free doesnt mean the people who produced said things didnt profit

the government subsidized them

so basically they bought you the house

and taxation would provide the government the means to subsidize, I'm imagining?

no

taxes were low or nonexistant in libya

the government made money off exports

ahh

also never try to tell me "gaddafi got killed by his own people"

most of the rebels were foreign mercenaries

from chad, US, UK, egypt, sudan, and south africa

yeah all I know is America judas'd him out of his deterrents

yep

and people wonder why Syria and NKorea don't want to disarm before us

capitalists always call socialists out for saying "not real socialism" when they say "not real capitalism" when we bring up corporatism

well... thing is that is capitalism

but capitalism is a feral animal

it needs to be caged, tamed, restricted

kept in line

to me the real socialists are the ones willing to defend their national identity

the ones who will oppose the left-right spectrum

and communism and capitalism

libertarians on this matter are like eco terrorists that want to let the carnivorous land mammals out of their cages

also never believe that socialism isnt human nature

yeah I get the impression socialists and communists wouldn't get along

do you think the fisher and the farmer grew and fished for himself?

no, they did those things for the community
