Socialism, Bitches!

You Can't Spell America Without A Little Socialism

November 13, 2021

I suppose all the yammering by mental defectives like Margie Taylor Greene and others about how the Democrats are murderous, baby-eating, socialist, communist, Marxist, nazi, anarchist pedophiles still works as far as strangling every last vestige of functioning brain matter in the feckless faithful. As if the labelers and the corroded consumers of their drivel could accurately define any of those epithets. And best of all, those who are throwing these stones continue to support uber-pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s good friend Donald Turmp whose campaign absolutely colluded with Russia (almost as much as they colluded with white supremacists) to take the White House in 2016, and then supported Putin’s positions at every turn while in his ill-gotten office.

Emma Goldman (who could define all of those epithets)

Though it is all but impossible that America might become a full-fledged socialist society, most Americans actually love socialism, whether they know it or not. Or at the very least, they love quite a few government programs that reek of socialism. Even if they do not realize that capitalism is often deadly – not to the capitalists necessarily, but to just about everyone the capitalists depend on and take advantage of for their survival, in particular, the workers and consumers, including most of the people who support candidates who support the greed-ridden capitalist infrastructure. Maybe the people who keep fretting and screeching about how absolutely evil socialism is (which they can’t describe or define any better than they can Critical Race Theory, which is to say not at all), are still doing their research. Just like their vaccine “research.”

Socialism Curious

There are however, a number of very popular socialist type programs that are very popular among the citizenry: Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the military, the internet, welfare for poor people. And of course, welfare to companies like Boeing, General Motors, Intel, Exxon, and many others, smack of socialism, albeit in the absolute wrong direction. Oh, and roads, bridges, trains, the electrical grid (with the exception of Texass, which maintains the right to needlessly endanger and kill its citizens because…freedom), and airports, you know, crazy commie pinko stuff like that.

As far as I am aware, no socialists own any politicians. But capitalists own many of them, most pertinently visible at the moment, Manchin and Sinema – dutifully doing the bidding of fossil fuel, pharmaceutical and other corporate connivers.

You can’t have socialism and freedom, they wail. Just like you can’t have people wearing masks and freedom at the same time. These are the same people who are apoplectic at school board meetings about the need to ban books about slavery, because freedom is all about hiding the truth found in books. Guilty conscience much? I haven’t finished doing my research on this, but I am certain my research will prove what I already know to be true – the same people who want to present alternative viewpoints to the Holocaust, or ban (or burn) books on slavery and everything else that makes them uncomfortable, are the same ones who insist that masks cause cancer and the coronavirus vaccine turns you into a human magnet, or a human/pumpkin hybrid, or something.

In Other Beloved American Socialism News…

Greedy capitalist pig/Ratpublican megadonor/currently under investigation by the FBI, Louis DeJoyless is apparently intent on killing off our postal service as well as many seniors with his new Pay-More-For-Slower-Service regime at the United States Postal Service. His plan includes slowing down some First-Class mail, including medications that many people get through the mail. Some people need to get their medications by mail and some insurances actually force people to get their medications through the mail whether they like it or not. DeJerk will also be jacking up prices for mailing packages during the holidays.

DeJoyless claims his goal is making the USPS more profitable. Unlike his privately owned package delivery businesses, which are in direct competition with the Postal Service, the USPS is a public service (SOCIALISM!!), not a capitalist, for-profit business. Maybe we need to also address the perpetual money-pit known as the U.S. military. When is the last time they turned a profit? Or won a war?

I have no doubt that the next tax-payer-funded operation to see the chopping-block is the government-funded, socialist election industry, which never generates any profit, and often leads to unqualified, ignorant racists and/or profiteering poseurs in positions of power.
