Turns out that in those Single Payer nations, everyone works if they want to eat or live.  Only the evil capitalistc nations have a complete lazy class that still eats and lives.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Only one of them mentioned moving to Cuba, and the other primitives ganged up on him about "not being serious."

The usual primitive destinations were--well, you can guess, as none of them was one of those places the primitives praise.

I'm just catching up after the weekend, I saw this on page 2.  Gobucks, what a find!  It's been read 431 552 times.  You weren't kidding about the weapons-grade stupidity, were you?  I went over, and there was no real attempt at punching holes in hugabear's diabolical scheme from all the replies.

Holy Mother of God.  

"crazy Marxist like me" = despicable POS, hope you die by starvation.

One thing I'd add is to do whatever it takes to save the environment and to create a New Deal Manhattan Moon Project modernized job creation Thing.

They'd have food riots within six weeks.  No dice unless we're allowed to shoot any refugees at the border who don't permanently renounce all bitching, voting, and public assistance rights.

4. If we did that then crazy Marxists like myself would be...
 ...mostly nullified and bored because most of our issues would be gone.

You would do what all Utopians do when they acquire power:  Start inquisitions and persecute and torture those not "Politically Correct" enough.

That's just what happens.

In order for a Utopia to maintain itself, no new ideas may ever enter and everything is a perpetual threat to the state.

How come they want to constrain corporate power to state/regional level but they wail like banshees if you mention the 10th amendment?

At least corporations don't have guns.

Their posts over there on the topic are starting to bore me to tears.  No one over there, not one that I've seen, seems to know the difference between the words "person" and "personhood."  So you get all these posts like "If a corp can do X, why can't a person" with the most stupid examples they can invent to try and prove whatever it is they already want to believe.

Look primitives, it's "corporate personhood," not "corporate person."  There's a difference.  You'll never grasp it, so just drop the topic.

I think they should. They should have militia. We can save taxpayer dollars
