I did say we are losing free speech. I have no time for 'hate speech' laws. The US says it has free speech, but does it 'really' when people lose speaking engagements and their livelihoods because they say thing that 'offend' the PCturd lobby?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 4:40 amThey do...but you only get to vote for the party candidate.

Henry's right.
Western socialism is just Communism advocated by historical amnesiacs.
The Socialists in the US don't want this. Being Collectivists, they call any un-PC speech "hate speech, "and try to stamp it out, using Antifa blackshirts, just like the Nazis used the brownshirts.free speech,
In the US, the press is an organ of government parties, and the major networks favour one party in particular.freedom of the press,
Tell the Chinese folks who want to get into Harvard how "equal" it is for them. Ask the men who have lost all say about the disposition of their children how "equal" things are. Ask the poor people who live in Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, LA, and every other city where the socialists have got their hooks in just how much they're enjoying all that "equality" they're getting.equal rights under the law
It's interesting how today's Socialists always want us to forget the entire past of Socialism. They say, "The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? That wasn't real Socialism." Then, "Maoist China? Not real Socialism." "Cuba? Venezuela? North Korea? Not real Socialism." "Cambodia, Romania, Albania, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria...all not real Socialism..." Apparently, nobody who calls themselves Socialist, and sets out to do Socialism, ever really does...
So where was the "real Socialism?" Where is that country that did it right? Where did Socialism ever produce anything but oppression, economic ruin, inequality, corruption and tyranny? And how did we get so consummately arrogant as to suppose that if all those countries got it wrong, it would be so dead easy for us to get it right, if we had tried?
Can we afford another mistake like all of those? And who will pay for our mistake, when we make it?
The reason people say 'that's not 'real' socialism' is because NO ONE actually knows what it is. I can't imagine what kind of society you want to live in exactly.
