Socialism is socialism no matter what façade you wrap around it. The end result is always the same... Poverty, Misery, War, and Mass Murder if it goes long enough.

Exactly what is democratic socialism?

Democratic socialism is socialism which is democratic social democracy is a hybrid economy with both capitalism and socialism. Bernie Sanders for example calls himself a democratic socialist but his policies are technically social democracy. Real democratic socialism is literally full on socialism with minimal centralised control.

California has, other than New York, the closest thing in the US to Social Democracy but because the Federal Government, under Trump, is lowering taxes and other things that force States to have to become harsher to the poor, it's not quite working out.

I have lived in a poor rural community in NY for most of my life. I work at a hospital another basically socialist entity. Here is a truth about the socialist portion of my world. In my youth there were a few "welfare families" in my area. We termed them that because they lived off of the system (socialism) It was not that theses people couldn't work like everyone else it was to make their lives easier. Most of them had troubles with the law and drug abuse stemmed much of that. Now in the same area there are a higher number of people than ever before living off of the system with the same drug abuse problems.

Capitalism is a pyramid system you idiot. The parasites are at the top, not the bottom. Frankly, I find it astonishing that you are sat here complaining about people picking up fifty dollars from the government so they can eat, yet say absolutely nothing about the 2008 stock market crash in which a million American families, working families, lost their homes. You begrudge a poor family fifty dollars, but have absolutely nothing to say about the banks stacking interest upon every dollar in circulation just so they can make you work forever to pay off a debt it is mathematically impossible to ever satisfy.

When you look down at the people beneath you and spit on them as a solution to the fact that the people at the top are making your own life shit, then that is fascism.

What do Trump's tax cuts have to do with the rising homeless and human feces covering the streets of San Francisco.

What does Mexico, Venezuela and San Francisco have in common? Their is hardly any middle class. Extreme rich and extreme poor. Why? Because the federal government makes promises of free give-a-ways creating more poverty and taxes and regulates the middle class into an oblivion.

Good question. You see, the issue is that since the opposite of single payer healthcare system happened (which even Hillary supported, though she's less Left-wing than Bernie), healthcare in all forms is becoming as 'survival of the richest' as is possible. Imagine how hard a common cold would be if you couldn't afford the simple cold medicine, or at least paracetemol-variant without sacrificing meals for you and your family. You're that poor. Yeah, see when you can become that poor then we start to have a trap; everything is privately funded and you're begging for public mercy. It's not gonna work out. Charity is random and based on spur of mercy, it involves appealing to people's urge to give, rather than the government's urge to care for the worst off in the nation so as to appreciate that you're only as good (on a true scale of appreciating development in a nation) as your worst team member(s) and how you treat them versus how productive you are able to be AT THE SAME TIME, in the end.

Trump is making many, many laws (or removing them, more like) that cause states preferring to rely on things like obamacare to become confused what to rely on. It's not just healthcare, he's going to ruin public education for good and not just because the idiot is allowing school shooters to get guns easier and legislating it as 'defence against that kind'

Trump is putrid... A cancer much like all Republicans but none more so than Reagan and Bush Sr. (Bush Jr. was more duped than a maniac, once you study the history).

Hello bob:

There is a distinction between democratic socialism, and socialISM. It IS confusing, I agree..

One PAYS for things like Medicare, and the other OWNS everything.. The ONLY thing democratic socialism owns, is a printing press.. That kind of "socialism" IS good for the USA.

What is good about that? If we use "Medicare" as the example, why should that be a socialist program? We pay into it as an insurance program why not just make it an insurance program? Eliminate the government from it entirely.

AlofRI(3294) Clarified

An "Insurance program" run by an insurance capitalist exists to make that capitalist(s) RICH. WE have to pay the cost of the insurance expenses AND the often even BIGGER expense of the HUGE buildings around the country that house those capitalists trying to get rich! (Along with the very nice vacations, traveling perks, extravagant dinners with "clients", maybe a much "needed" massage or three??) And then, you have to figure the "bargaining" between the Drug Cartel, the Hospital Investors, the contractors and others looking to get rich off the industry. (During more dinners and junkets). No wonder health "insurance" is so expensive!

Socialize ME! Use ALMOST all of the money I pay for medical PROTECTION, (in taxes FOR the people AND myself), not for some capitalists home or yacht! My taxes "might" be a bit higher, but, deduct the insurance expense we pay and the total will be very much lower, because the cost of operating (and the perks) will be MUCH lower! It might make you smile MORE, Bob!

I don't remember when socialism was good. USSR, North Korea, Venezuela, and other countries. These countries are poor because of the economic policy of socialism or communism. Capitalism and laissez-faire is the only option if the country and its citizens want to be prosperous. You can read an article on https://edubirdie.com/rewrite-my-essay if you want to know the consequences of socialism in the US. Also read Ayn Rand "Atlas Shrugged." You will see the clear picture of what it will bring.

One could easily say look at how good capitalism is in N. Korea or China. See how easy it is ? Doesn't do much for the capitalist proletariat.

Capitalism (or really Free Enterprise) is a very good driver economically. But just like we have always had a social education system- we need at least a socialist catastrophic health net.

Also - we really don’t have a true FREE MARKET! We have CORPORATE PROTECTIONism which is so hypocritical!!

Face it : Capitalism committed Suicide!! Cronyism and childish greed killed it. The mule learned the carrot on the stick is bullshit

Had it remained ethical and reasonable- it may have survived. Humans are too juvenile to be that free..

Capitalism hasn't committed suicide. The government is busy destroying Capitalism, by creating dependencies in many aspects of life.

The government has convinced enough people to give up being personally responsible, self-sufficient and depend upon it.

In which case, the government has no choice but to initiate the use of force against free people practicing Capitalism.

Free people give up their right to be self-sufficient they stop practicing Capitalism.

Rather capitalism is destroying the market by not paying its participants. Govt. creating dependencies ? That's a good one. Much more like the capitalist is creating those dependencies.

Reduce the markets buying power everyday means debt and the capitalist has very successfully driven the country into $71 trillion of debt going up $6 million per minute.

Rather, the govt has convinced people that laws of both marketplace and taxes should favor capital and the corp. to inspire growth...that never occurs.

People without capital which is by far most people...are not capitalists at all. Capitalism requires capital.

Capitalism is not only not free enterprise, it is not real enterprise at all. Capitalism is money-ism. Capitalism is speculation, debt and turning paper into money. Capitalism involves no labor, that is reserved for whoever the capitalist speculates on or...invests in.

Capitalism is hardly dead, it thrives on a total US debt of $71 trillion, going up $6 million a minute.

Capitalism has its firm grip on govt. with all of that 'capital'...being free speech.[sic]

Truly facing [it], crony, greedy capitalism won the 20st century and has most successfully in partnership with having successfully bought and owned govt. especially as exemplified by the latest of several tax giveaways...thrives in the 21st.

More accurately, [it] has remained un-ethical and unreasonable where greed rules everyday and has survived quite well, while humans do not exist and are...,merely profit centers.

This is what it looks like

Lol. Right buddy. If you want to know what socialism "looks like", ask the hardcore American capitalist who has swallowed a lifetime of bubblegum propaganda from the far right. Ask the guy who thinks capitalism is what gives us teeth.

Good one.

In certain cases, tree removal is complemented by tree replanting initiatives. This proactive approach ensures that the removal of a mature tree is mitigated by the planting of new ones, contributing to the overall health of the environment and maintaining biodiversity. The choice of replacement trees is often guided by factors such as local climate, soil conditions, and the ecological role of the removed tree. https://longislandlumberjack.com/

The formation of tonsil stones is associated with various factors, including poor oral hygiene, chronic inflammation of the tonsils, and the presence of large tonsil crypts. Individuals who have a history of recurrent tonsillitis or chronic inflammation of the tonsils may be more prone to developing tonsil stones. Additionally, certain lifestyle factors, such as smoking and dehydration, can contribute to the formation of these calcified formations.
