No the problem the Americans had was the lack of a viable alternative government for Vietnam. The last thing the Americans wanted was to win the war and actually take up the responsibility of government themselves, assuming that was even achievable with anything short of genocide. They could not take up the overtly imperialist mantle of the French, who wer ...[text shortened]... s was pure, cyncial power politics at its most despicable and naked aggression at its most vile.

Americans were trying to prevent the spread of communism. Our leaders just did not go about it in the correct way. The people have a tendency to elect stupid leaders. I plan to vote for Donald Trump for President so we can start getting rid of some of these fools. 😏

Socialiste will natiknalise the banks and, quite generally, the utilities and infrastructural maintenance.
Democrats will not.
Socialists, generally speaking, will not invade foreign countries to suit the oil and weapons companies.
Democrats will.
Socialists will nationalise medicine and education: completely.
Democrats will not.
Democrats will pledge allegience to the flag and thank God during speeches.
Socialists will not.
Originally posted by bill718Obviously, socialism is on a sliding scale, not a singular border where on one side you are socialist, and the other you aren't. Many Republicans favor socialist policies.
What Hillary is trying to get across is she and most Democrats tend to be more socialist in their approach to solving problems than Republicans. She cannot come out and say this however because "socialist" is a very dirty word in American politics, so she was forced to talk around the subject.
It's amazing to me that someone has to spell this out for you Whodey. Anyone with a room temperature I.Q. could figure that out. 😞
What most people miss that advocate socialism, is that it requires force to gain compliance, in most cases. Most of us will at some time voluntarily aid a neighbor, or even a stranger. But to get everyone to support policies that give support to others, taxation is required, and if some don't favor the support, threats of force is required, like sending you to jail for tax evasion.
Voluntary socialism, good. Forced socialism, bad. Hillary is a believer in forced socialism.
Originally posted by EladarI don't support any of them with my money. The fact that he is using his own money and not asking for mine is another thing I like about Trump. I plan to vote for him, but if he turns out to be just as bad as Obama, which is hard to imagine, I can say I did not support any of them with money. 😏
Trump supporters are fools and so are the supporters of most Republican and all Democrats. But then fool might be too nice of a term.
