Let's cheer for the downfall of capitalism!

The U.S. will now embrace a socialist utopia and the people will regain the reins of power.

feudalism.

With true socialism the people have no power. The government controls every aspect of life and provides everyone with what it feels each person needs. Nothing more, nothing less.

Capitalism can be good if regulated and combined with a mixture of socialist policies though.

WOW

live in the same country as me.

As far as I know, neither absolute socialism nor absolute capitalism have ever existed, merely amalgams of the two extremes with differences only in degrees.

When all people act like angels, then, we can deregulate markets.

If the Dems control the WH and both branches of Congress we will definitely see tighter controls.

the little guy. :sarcasm: :rofl: :crazy: :puke:

They are all bought and paid for, the Dems less so that the Repubs.

It really hurts my heart to read all of the posts calling for the downfall of the economy.

I am NOT a cheerleader for this bailout. I think this economic mess is the result of deregulation, which sucks and was irresponsible. But, I don't want more people to suffer. The thing is, the rich will be insulated from this. It will be the 95% of the nation that will suffer.

I was watching Rep. Dingell (D-MI) on C-Span talk about the ramifications on the auto industry. No credit available for car loans means dealerships going out of business and means a further crippling of the auto industry. This is just one industry. Imagine the impact on retail food stores and small mom and pop businesses. I think we're getting screwed, but many people will be hurt if we DON'T do something.

OK, maybe not.

:patriot:

must do nappy nap after boozy lunch!

There are some people who seem to have an idea that a collapse and depression would be a good thing because it might lead to some sort of new democratic-socialist order. I would suggest that it would be even more likely that a collapse and a new great depression would be much much more likely to lead to an extreme right-wing order such as American has never seen. America simply does not have the socialist tradition of other western democracies - America does not even have the socialist tradition that America once had in the 1930's.

After decades of right-wing indoctrination, it would be a lot more likely that large sectors of America would, rather than blame the capitalist system, blame "the liberal elitist", "the liberal media," "secular-humanism", the immigrants, the Arabs or other "undesirables."

Let us not forget that fascism and Nazism rose to power on the backs of an economic collapse - it is no more a thing to wish for than to wish for a devastating war.

I trust you were being sarcastic with your OP?

"Those who have not learned the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them."

ASSHOLE you do there! you might want to add the sarcasm thingy so people don't think you are serious. :scared:

who are posting this same thing, minus the sarcasm.

That probably won't be any problem at all. They'll just welcome us into the fold of the Comintern with open arms and forget all the bad paper we wrote when we were lying capitalist pigs?

Your trolling is transparent. For the cozened: ignore that troll. We'll still have to serve capitalist masters, they'll just be in Asia.

one who has been here seven years, helped in the past with fund drives, organized a DU group to protest in D.C., married another DUer and am actively campaigning for Obama among other activities. I must be a very, very clever troll.

Just goes to show you never know who might be one.

Don't you find any irony in the juxtaposition of your username and your sarcastic post?

The proles *were* united yesterday it seems.
