@Marcus_Summers What I am pointing out is the logical flaws in the whole "dog whistle" idea. Democrats claim everything Republicans say or do is a veiled appeal to racists. And as evidence they provide their "own" recognition of the secret message that only a racist can hear. It's like the Emperor's New Clothes.
@Mr. Jesus too bad it won't go viral
Yt n Reddit make sure
N Twitter. They all work together
Discord isn't part of it
Discord is Chinese investment firms
Shares in discord go further
Funny how Italians are more are more proud of America and our flag than Democrats. Perhaps that is because they remember what fascism truly looks like.

I'm still surprised that people still believe socialism works. Literally all you have to do is talk to a regular person that lived in a socialist country and they will tell you fuck socialism.
@mikeflarkin As if the 100+ million corpses is not enough evidence of failure?
Yea I don't support a 100% socialist regime
USA has a special blend of capitalism and socialism
That's not quite true. A lot of Venezuelans still think socialism is good and that it's just Maduro's corruption that was the problem
for example
The problem is that people somehow overlook the corpses, who unfortunately are unable to say how much socialism sucks.
Stalin
@yearspastmatter Maduro was corrupt, Chavez was corrupt, Pol Pot was corrupt, Castro was corrupt, Mao was corrupt, Stalin was corrupt. Tell me, is there one leader of a socialist regime who was not?
Well socialism under Chavez worked for Venezuela. It was frustrating for the middle class because the heavy taxes, but Venezuela was a functioning country under Chavez
Then inflation problems and Maduros corruption and economic sanctions turned Venezuela into a nightmare
@Gary Payton Tribute Account No it wasn't it was artificclaly proped up by oil exports to the US at the peak of the Oil Bubble.
@Gary Payton Tribute Account Chavez was estimated to be worth $1 billion at the time of his death. Venezuela was certainly working for him.
Well Chavez was corrupt but the Venezuelan people enjoyed a somewhat stable society and better standard of living compared to other Latin American countries
Many Venezuelan poor people were uplifted out of poverty under Chavez's regime
@Gary Payton Tribute Account I hear Berlin was a stable and prosperous place in 1938 too.
That's an obvious strawman
Maduro is corrupt no doubt, but hes not a nazi
Maduro is an international socialist rather than a national socialist? Does the adjective make that much difference?
Yea Maduro is really screwing Venezuela and I'm not defending socialism, I'm not a socialist
A lot or Venezuela's problems are due to inflation because of their banking system essentially printing unlimited money (kind of similar to USA federal reserve under the Obama admin.)
And then USA has a lot of economic sanctions imposed on Venezuela which further hurts their economy
But really the problems with Venezuela stem from their banking system failing to control inflation, and government corruption at the highest levels
The government corruption factor always happens to a socialist regime, which is why socialism doesnt work for a country in the long term
@Gary Payton Tribute Account Hyper inflation and a devaluation of the currency always occurs when a regime is about to fall. I believe it is a symptom of the crisis and not its cause.
Remember those pictures of people with wheelbarrows of Marks trying to purchase bread in Germany at the end of WWI and WWII.
Mark us Summers
"Socialism" only works when you have a healthy export ecomony bringing in money and normally that means Private Capitalist firms making products for export effectively. Both were killed under Chavez.
i would like to join boyscouts...
but i'm a boy ðŸ˜
@Khanclansith Actually it only works in theory or with a very small group of people. Once the group is large enough that everyone doesn't know everyone else and can motivate them to produce it always fails. One of the original colonies in the US was run via socialist principles. The people were starving and ready to return to England. A new governor divided the land and gave it to the colonists with the idea that what they grew was their own. The colony was saved.
