Yeah I figured that.
Mahoodie or whatever his name is says he's just a democrat-socialist, but he is a full-blown commie simp that hates America, hates Christians, hates Jews, and wants to turn the US into a muslim hellhole..
According to you.

Who's the simp?

Or was that 'chimp'?

No one on this forum hears such.
They DO hear that Alligator Alcatraz is inhumane, when it is better than our jails. They just blow unbridled steam...why are we here.
For fun, I guess. Gotta go check some of my good stuff...............
Welcome to the new and improved Gulag.

Alligator Alcatraz was built in 8 days and holds 5000 inmates!
If Dems were in charge it'd take 2 years and run a billion dollars over budget haha.
If Dems were in charge it would already be holding Republicans. Aren't they all criminals?

Unionisation is the best example.
Worker’s councils is another.

Basically giving people a say in how things are run on the workfloor and office.

Generally making sure work rostars are proportional, safety measures are properly adhered to, better pay, etc.

A further step could be taking control of utilities, so that they are not run for profit, but to supply the po ...[text shortened]... ly debate the upsides and the downsides, but it’s not the bloody end of civilisation as you know it.
We have unions. They are OK if voluntary,,,,right to work, such as that.
Worker's have every right to council. Voluntary, and employers do their voluntary as well.

I would hardly let any employee have any effect on office. Workfloor.....I would appoint levels of supervisors on the floor, in the production of my widgets, which I will sell out of my office. Not too hard to grasp that concept?

Of course safety measures (We have OSHA for that) and better pay is always paid for people who do better work. That goes without saying, don't get you there.

?? Who would take control of utilities? You imply that there be no competition in the world of utilities??? You have to be kidding. And dare chide profit in the same sentence!?!? Ohhhhhh, Shavixmir.

Sigh.

Yes. I know. Dumb arse.
I did pull up this nugget.

""While the theoretical ideals of communism have inspired social movements and led to some positive social outcomes, the historical implementation of communist systems has often resulted in authoritarianism, economic hardship, and human rights abuses.""

Who cares about authoritarianism and economic hardship, but abusing humans is a real turn-off. How could we avoid that one??

And what is meant by social movements?

They left out the slaughter and starvation of millions.
Also the word "often" needs to be replaced with "always."

If Shav were in charge of creating a society on an island as big as Texas, do you think he would choose communism over capitalism? I know that they hate questions like this, but how else will we find out how and why they think like they do?
If he responds to what I’m saying, I will counter by saying for him to tell us how he would handle the fact that some people work harder than others….. Another simple AverageJoe-ism that they never can deal with. You see, if that went on, it would evolve into some people having more than other people, which would be a problem for Shavixmir.
Then THAT would lead to more simple questions.

So, you’re basically stating that you have and endorse various communist ideals.
So, having a social democat run New York isn’t going to have much of an impact. In other words, you’re panic whacking your joystick over nothing again.

As for utilities, the way they’re run now in the US isn’t serving the population. Proper checks and balances are needed. And if private companies fail to comply, just nationalise them and get an educated government department to sort it out.

I will grab all of this and run with it!!

Could you respond to my question to Cliff, asking about island society?


Oh, I started from scratch and gained success. Some didn’t work as hard, maybe mad bad choices.
Query: if you were president and changed it all over to your way of governing, your societal ideas, would you come get that which I have earned?

I'll take that as being off to eat sushi and drink white wine.
I am a cab guy myself. All dutch cafes bore a man with their white wines., Taste like old lemonade


Clearly it's best to leave a few dozen unaccountable and secretive financiers and multinational corporations to control things behind the facade of democratic politics. Now there's freedom!!!

But as we've seen, the slaughter and starvation of millions has been taken over by the Republican Party. So don't worry, people you don't like are dying as we speak!
