I like it. It's funny. It's pithy. It's true!

<edit?> and it violates the quaint RIU "policy" of being nice to each other.

There are plenty of right wing idiots who are not racist themselves but still serve the racist agenda. They think that all social welfare programs are somehow counterproductive while they support the rest of the existing capitalist system. This view serves the racist agenda by guarding the status quo wherein socioeconomic stratification is parallel to ethnic lines. They think that people ought to just "pull themselves up by the boot straps" and they decry programs that favor minorities specifically with out regard to historical injustices. They seem to want to see how many seats the rock bottom can accommodate.

Short of abolishing the entire system of inequality called capitalism, the only way to combat the poverty that it creates is to extend the social safety net and all forms of social welfare to all who need it, regardless of ethnicity. This will create an abundance of opportunities. Currently the game is rigged against the poor and the vast majority of positions of power and privilege are held by white men.

A dearth of opportunities for upward mobility only serves to keep the people at the bottom from ascending.

social welfare is poison to those receiving it. if our wealth was spared the predations of the King's tax-collectors, would we really need these programs? everything that the gun of the state has aimed its laser FLIR sights on, has worsened. the War on Poverty, The War on Drugs, the War on Terror. just put the gun down, Uncle Sam, an' let us work it out. some of it will be ugly, but it will be real. if someone refuses you service, you come on by my place, they commit aggression against you, that'll be my shiny red dot on them. let's see what reality brings.

No, fascism is a form of capitalism, hence the privatization. It's not socialist at all since socialism is the opposite of capitalism. There is such a thing as authoritarian socialism (totalitarianism) but that is not fascism. It is probably worse and most forms of socialism which have existed were authoritarian.

Words have meaning, even when they end in ist or ism. Please know what they mean before you use them. Obama is not a socialist.

a National Socialist, perhaps. he is the face of the Thirty Oligarchs.
he is part of a group of sociopaths, that have wheedled control of this nation away from the people, and no longer represent our best interests as citizens. I call for SCOTUS to file a motion of no-confidence against Congress, the Senate, and the POTUS. the law is there.......use it.

National Socialism was an empty name. The Nazis privatized the German economy. Yes, they called themselves socialist. Politicians lie bro.

Benito Mussolini privatized the Italian economy. It doesn't matter how many lies he told to become a dictator.

that is correct, if your definition of "Privatized" is:

siezing an industry or company, turning it over to a board of fascist party apparatchiks, ensuring that the industry or company does EXACTLY as Il Duce commands, and sends most of it's profits to Il Duce, while the Apparatchiks pocket the remainder.

sounds like what most of the rest of the world would call Nationalizing an industry or company

thats pretty damned socialist to me.

It was called the German Workers Party before Hitler took over. He took over because he liked their philosophy.

Sorry, they were socialists. He let the people who owned businesses keep them, but he nationalized their control.
