    I'll repeat:
    Let's talk about that first. What's your initial reaction? In brief.

    Absolutely. Increased domestic manufacturing capability, greater employment, greater Independence from the whims of the rest of the world, improved national infrastructure, space force, a rebuilding of the military, easier business opportunities, ...

    Here's one for YOU:

    Oh dear, you are a. sad little Marxist aren't you? Regrettably being British I am not allowed to cast a vote in the US elections and if I was my Commie chum it wouldn’t be for the Donald. So you are wrong, mistaken and deluded twice. Putin would have you against the wall for such errors. I think a spell in a re education centre might do you some good.

    Ya think???? Why do you suppose that is? The evil spirited child molesting rapist racist moron who hates everybody and dictates over everybody wished it that way? Is that what you want to believe so we can put a bad name to investing in the economy to rise all boats? Or is it the possibility that maybe, just maybe, were in the throes of a freakin pandemic?
    Mercy...

    Dude, stick to a definition. I agree, the Scandanavian countries aren't Socialist. They're Social Democracies--i.e., welfare states, just like Bernie wanted. So when somebody talks about doing the same in this country, don't call them Socialist!

    I think it's the way it is because the Orange One flubbed the Covid crisis. The polls seem to agree.

    The Scott Adams ramble

    So Canada would be able to conquer the US if the US was a more ‘socialist’ state – why would it want to and what about the nukes?

    If you have consumerist capitalism the system depends on the majority of workers buying the products and paying the rents and servicing the debts that make the profits that go to the few. Scoot didn't seem to realise that a tipping point would come when there are more robots than human workers, robots have no need for the products, don’t consume, buy or need to rent.

    I really kind of knew this would be crap after that – some rather ill thought through ramblings and the guy even admits it is all a just a bit of baloney that he really doesn’t have any real clue about in the ‘will that work - well shucks I don’t know’ kind of way.

    And then it just descended more into the crap, honestly you watch this right - what in it did you think was any good enough to share?

    Many of his view are dubious at best and sometime clear false. I mean at one point he basically claims that ‘capitalism’ will always be racist, do you agree with that?

    It honestly reminded me of some stoners I’ve listened to rambling on with the ‘oh wouldn’t that be fantastic?’ asides, yes a stoner with an e-bike.

    Tell you what when he has something a bit more coherent to say can you post that video or better still get him here so we can talk to the organ grinder and not the monkey?

    It’s like being between a rock and a hard place, I don’t envy the American people. A people who I have a lot of time and respect for, having served with and alongside Them when I was in the military.

    Oh so you voted for that blond khazi mop head. People in the North who voted for the scumbag 'nasty party' for the first time last December are beginning to regret their stupidity.

    No...wrong again my little Marxist chum...you seem to go through life continually shouting at people and getting it wrong. Typical Marxist always blaming others. You are really a very sad old man.

    Socialism is far superior to capitalism because of the honesty factor. In socialism everyone get the same fair service from the government. In capitalism, you get dishonest businessmen who really don't give a shit about their customers. The businessmen are only interested in making money. To give you an example, as I write this, two women I know are on the side of the road in New England in a rented truck. They paid several thousand dollars to rent the truck and a car hauling trailer. Now the truck is broken down and the mechanic who was sent out to them is refusing to unload the car from the trailer, and refusing to fix the truck. The tow company which was sent out is refusing to tow the broken truck unless the car is removed from the trailer. It is a situation typical of dishonest American owned business. They care about the money but not the customer. I would rather have socialism and the mandatory roadside help which the government would provide.

    Hey. I'm soul.

    I want to discuss as I can see you have a valuable opinion, but what you just did violates the rules. Ad hominem attacks aren't "ok". It's rude, inconsiderate... There is probably a tactful way to say what you're trying to say, but that isn't it. :)

    Just my two cents... take it or leave it. I will report it if I keep seeing it.

    You sound like a typical capitalist Republican who is always attacking Socialist and Marxists while you ignore corporate crimes and political cronyism by Trump.

    I don't live there and never claimed any country was 100% socialist. Your Fox news has certainly said Scandinavia is socialist when it suites them and also said what a great place it is.

    Scandinavia and my current country are each "socialist" from the perspective of Republicans because there is a basic social safety net and overall the rich are looked down on and expected to pay higher tax. Someone like the Amazon owner would be seen as selfish and rude. He uses his money to buy elected officials that help him and he does not pay near enough tax. It's not that it's not capitalist just not the American worship of it. I guess at a point one is expected to have enough and be content whereas in America there is never enough. No matter what Amazon needs to make more profit they must expand.

    For example watch Shark Tank. The sharks all already have millions so why do the show? Because they want more. It's almost mental illness. Same as the anorexic girl who thinks she's fat I think no matter what some of the rich always feel "poor" and inadequate because they don't see reality.

    If you think what you see on the news about here is bad dig into the fringe parties. Some do want by the book Communism.
