    Well, at least for now the "socialist" military protects our rights, .. but in the future under Kamala, they'll likely be better utilized to enforce her commands.

    After all, aircraft carriers and overseas bases are wasteful spending. Our military would be much better utilized to remind the people of who truly has your best interests in mind, and to drive that point home on a daily basis.
    Without opining which side is more in the right, Trump himself seems have regarded overseas bases as a huge waste of money. That's one area where he and the Far Left met.

    • Big difference between something being "socialistic"...such as some government services I suppose could be...and the term "socialism"...but expected from a pinko commie like CGVT...

      • If you're are ardent Marxist, you need to fight the battle incrementally -- gin up some sort of lie about the fire department to defend Marxism and go from there.

              Or, perhaps, the utter failure to understand the difference between socialized services and socialism. Perhaps this will help -- https://toycritic.medium.com/lets-de...e-fc51a5558607

              Unfortunately, the bad faith, intellectually dishonest actor wants no part of the truth. Such is life.
              Your side are the only ones talking about true socialism.

              As I pointed out above, and you completely ignored to continue to spew your "CGVT is a Marxist" bullshit, was that nobody wants true socialism. They want the social systems that are in place now. Obviously to all but the brain dead, the should include some strengthening.

              The repubs scream "Socialism will destroy this country" "Venezuela!" every time a social program is discussed and it is bullshit. I know it and you know it, but it is the battle cry of the right.

                  I personally think much of PDJT's foreign policy was actually fairly spot-on. I hope that Biden doesn't go with the kneejerk "PDJT BAD!!!" response and viscerally do the opposite. In fact, my hope for Biden is that he is measured. He may have to dress up his position or re-package it or co-opt it, but I think he'll carry on with at least some PDJT's foreign policy positions.

                    That's a bit of a stretch. Or rather, it's starting the frog off in a ice bath. Now, make the Redskins drop their name and the KC Chiefs are sure to follow....well, thats boiling the frog. Regardless, we're talking empty, meaningless virtue signaling, not massively increased government control of all things.

                    • Funny how the "white" nicknames are fine...Cowboys, Fighting Irish, etc...but yes those are just the effects of snowflake culture dripping down...the reaches of true socialism is the hurricane...those are the gentle April rainstorm...

                      • Police protection, fire services and snow plowing are all government services that are paid for by taxes collected from the citizens. The government is lawfully bound to provide these services.

                        They are not socialism. Socialism takes control of business functions like farms, factories and utilities and removes them from citizen control, and places control under the umbrella of the government.

                        After all, only the government can efficiently, safely, and fairly run anything and everything.

                        The obtaining of wealth is an evil act, and must be stopped and thoroughly punished. Unless you are a wealthy democrat.

                          • I'll also say that when it comes to Ds and socialism, there are self-described Socialists in the that party. Now, it may be that they're politically and historically illiterate and just think "Socialists" mean increased socialized services. OR, it could be that they know exactly what they're talking about and very much mean Socialism. Now, having read the philosophical goals of, say, the Green New Deal, I'm inclined to think it's the latter. But, perhaps they just mean the former.

                            What's not up for debate is what they refer to themselves as. And I'd sugesst that if they don't want to be labaled socialists that they ought not label themselves as Socialists.

                            Finally, while the self-described Socialists are obviously a small minority in the D party, they are actually elected officials in Washington. The contrast is with the few hundred/thousand PDJT supporters that some people think are the seeds of a revolution. The blindingly obvious point is that the self-described Socialists are more entrenched in the D party than the Trumpista knuckleheads. So, predicting the socialist takeover of the D party is on far more solid ground than predicting some nonsense revolution led by Wizard. FTR, I happen to think the latter is batshit crazy and the former is extremely unlikely any time soon.

                                The fine people of Pittsburgh have had their name dragged through the mud for far too long by their professional football team. This cultural appropriation must END! Did Dan Rooney ever work in a steel mill? NO. And the Houston TEXANS? They took it upon themselves to lump the entirety of the 2nd most populous state in the country into one bag, not taking into account for a second the diversity of the state. The Latinos and Latina don't want to be lumped in with the Latinx but in Houston the McNair family has made that choice for you. Thanks a lot NFL!
