"Now back in 1927 an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said under the name of liberalism the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program."
    ― Ronald Reagan

    "They don't subscribe to our sense of morality; they don't believe in an afterlife; they don't believe in a God or religion. And the only morality they recognize, therefore, is what will advance the cause or socialism."
    ― Ronald Reagan

"Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it."
― Ronald Reagan

The problem is, it always happens this way. What in God's Name make you think you'll fare better?

The only meat Socialists take are pork sword up in their grills, while sipping Penis Coladas with their pinkies raised...

Unfortunate fact #1

We let our guard down and they took over. I used to be a union steward and now I hate the elistist scum union executive board. They supported Clinton/Kane in 2016 and Biden/Harris in 2020. The due paying members supported Trump in both elections.

Socialists seldom talk to you...they talk at you. Because they know better how your life should be ordered than you do.

Anymore anti-socialist posts from you and I will be forced to post a second important announcement.

I wish socialists would do the right thing and cut their gonads and ovaries out with a rusty angle grinded ice cream scoop when they turn 11 years old...

My best friend is in a sheet metal workers union and was always going on about his greedy boss and how the workers got shit for pay. Mind you the union was enriching itself by taking $30/hr from his negotiated pay and putting it into healthcare and retirement. I tried to get him to realize the union was fucking them but he would go on about how great the benefits were. I could buy better retirement and healthcare with much less!. Worst part was the union members would hold a vote to decide where their raises would go. The younger ones would never show up and the older ones always voted for it to go to benefits.

Anyway, I got onboard with his business venture and promptly started ridiculing him about all his bitching about fees and taxes the government took out. Typically on pay day, I would tell him we had to revolt against the owner (him) because he was a greedy cocksucker not sharing the wealth with the little people. It was a hoot!

Now, the democRATs are routinely ass raping union employees and telling them STFU or find another job when they complain that their dues support all kinds of things even they dont like.

It was always going to end up this way. Unions have become the soviet doictatorship, hell bent on destroying their sworn enemies, capitalism and America.

The only socialists I could ever tolerate were the Amish.

It was entirely voluntary, internal in operation, and the expectation was that it be reciprocated.

Outside of their communities, they operate much the same as any free market proponent does.

But that's the difference.

"Voluntary"

The Amish are kiddie diddlers. On youtube there are women coming out claiming the kiddie diddling, including incest and fathers on daughters is rife.

I have lost respect for them entirely....
