Title: Mark Levin lays it out capitalism vs socialism
Post by: IndiCon15 on February 13, 2016, 12:18:01 PM
I caught the first hour of the Levin show yesterday and I thought it was excellent.  He lays out what the free market is, why it is good, why socialism is bad, what socialism is....... comparing and contrasting........good stuff.

Unfortunately too many people my kids age are being lured to socialism because they promise free stuff.

Some one needs to remind the liberals about the consequences of Socialism.

There's actually some idiot on Thor's FB page saying that the NAZI Party was about "fascism and not socialism". Despite the fact they were the National Socialist Party.

IIRC it's that idiot former Marine that used to post on Rebel's military discussion site.  Last name is Saalam.

The two are definitely not mutually exclusive.  And both are absolutely anti liberty.

Supporters of Communism, or of socialism in general, like to pretend that Nazism was not socialist but "right wing".

It was common in those days, as it is in ours, to identify the Communists as leftist and the Nazis as rightists, as if they stood on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. But Ludwig von Mises knew differently. They both sported the same ideological pedigree of socialism. "The German and Russian systems of socialism have in common the fact that the big government has full control of the means of production. It decides what shall be produced and how. It allots to each individual a share of consumer's goods for his consumption."

The difference between the systems, wrote Mises, is that the German pattern "maintains private ownership of the means of production and keeps the appearance of ordinary prices, wages, and markets." But in fact the government directs production decisions, curbs entrepreneurship and the labor market, and determines wages and interest rates by central authority. "Market exchange," says Mises, "is only a sham.

National Socialism is related to socialism in which the basic core is a control of people, property, and income by a centralized government. The core concepts of socialism were kept, transferred, and implemented in the 25 points of the Nazi Party Platform of 1925, which included:

*The abolition of unearned income;
*Nationalization of trusts;
*Inclusion into profit-sharing;
*Increase in old-age pensions;
*Creation and maintenance of a sound middle-class;
*Aguarian reform, which included the siezing of land without compensation;
*State control of education;
*Creation of a "folk" army to supplant or replace the regular army;
*State control of the press

Gun control was a significant policy of Nazi Germany (National Socialist Party) used to silence dissent and perpetrate the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler used the SS to enforce laws that completely disarmed the German populace and rendered the Jewish victims defenseless. Despite this, Gun control continues to be advocated by many on the modern-day political left.

Robert Salaam. He's a ****in' muzzie convert, preaches his muzzie bullshit, and tries to convince everybody he's pious, but peaceful.

We'll see how far that goes when his shitbird imam orders him to cut the head off a Christian.  :argh:
