US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

@Sidney you haven’'t addressed the question as usual.

Where has socialism succeeded in fairness?

Sweden, mate. All of the Nordic countries.

Pretty much all of Europe is ā€œsocialistā€, as we’ve been told by pretty much the whole of the US media.

I’ll take Europe over the US any day, thanks.

How has Haiti done in comparison to Cuba? Two very comparable countries, one is socialist and has one of the best healthcare systems in the world and a good standard of living for its people, the other is an unfettered free market paradise and also a complete basket case.

politics is poison folks, in all its forms and always has been. socialism which has been inculcated as the ā€œfreerā€ form has been abused. men in high places will always be full of greed.

Cuba and Haiti are two basket cases…

Sweden on the other hand…they’re not governed by a socialist government anymore then we are kid…you’re clutching at straws…pure bollox talk…Nordic Countries are far from socialist.

Your theory is agreeable if you were to say that an unelected elite make all the main decisions in Brussels for the EU governed states…I’d agree with that.

You’re original with that one kid :laughing:

I’m only a PM away.

You understand the difference between socialism and social democracy right?

He doesn’t understand anything mate

You are truly delusional. The Nordic countries achieved all of their prosperity via free markets, they are resource rich and adopted sensible government. They are no more socialist than the US is.

You’ve spent most of the last six months on a rant about ā€œsocialist Europeā€ and socialist everything like a supermarket-value Joe McCarthy, FFS. Do you see reds crawling out from under your bed while you sleep?

You really don’t like it up you when your bizarre, nonsensical views are blown apart, do you? :smile:

Yes, only in Bizarro world do the banks et al pick the winners and losers in politics.

Has any country willingly adopted these practices?
The IMF inflicts these conditions on countries, for sure, but has any country actually adopted unfettered (no govt interference, no protectionism, no tariffs, fair taxation etc.) capitalism?

You haven’t a clue :joy:

@Steven_Naimsith is a clare roaster ?

That explains his bizzare postings here.

:joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

Jesus christ, I don’t read this thread for existential arguments on capitalism vs socialism, could we get back to taking the piss out of Trump and baiting republicans please?

So Trump is now advocating the assasination of an American President should Hilary win.
