yes, and under that system you work for yourself and not some fat ass evil jew banker.

Why on earth would you be working for Jewish bankers?

Exactly - what the fuck do you think is happening today?

everyone works for the jewish bankers under our evil capitalist federal reserve fractional banking system.

Only way to be free of them is to work them out of the equation.

Be SPECIFIC, drama queen..

The government hasen't nationalized any companies.

And the asshole that KNOWINGLY buys a car he or she cannot afford is what exactly? a fucking victim?

So you live in America and get the benefits, but don't want to pay taxes.

Yeah they have - GM was nationalized and the unions were bailed out with tax money you fucking idiot, how about "obama care" that nationalizes the medical industry... How about the banks?

Why the fuck you think they call it "socialized health care?"

Have you not been paying attention over the last 2 fucking years?

Well, it's arguable that when the government steps in, and FUNDS (gm), it's nationalized. Or when huge mega wealthy unions elect politicians.......

But, even ignoring that.......when there are 1million regulations of every size and shape...and the government tells you who you have to hire.......and fines you if you don't hire faggots, or niggers.......Or forces you to pay fee's for their 'inspections'...it may not be the text book def, but it's not free.

That's too fucking socialized imo.

Banks are regulated not nationalized..

A bailout by anyone puts you in recievership status to fix the problems.. its is NOT a permanent transfer of ownership.

If I loan you money to save your company, I will have a say so on how its run until you get back on your feet. That's not socialism.

The results are ALL THE SAME - government has their hands up the banking industries ass - that IS government control of the banking industry - its socialism.

If the government is paying, and telling them how to run it........it sure as hell is.

If the courts step in because you can 't pay your vendors and creditors, the courts will appoint someone to run your company.

That's not socialism.

You don't understand the definition of Socialism and then it gets even murkier when you confuse socialism with social justice.

Y'all are DUMB CLUCKS............

No. You're attempting to try and split hairs kudy. And no one's buying it.

The courts stepped in to gm did they? Funny, I didn't know the courts could order tax payer money to be spent by the government, to take over a private business..... You'll have to show that law. (hint: there is no such law)

By your own words, when the government pays for, and tells a business how to run.......it's a government business. Since it used to NOT be a government business, and now it IS......it's a form of socialism. IE...the government taking over private business.

Try again, you retarded piece of shit fucktard. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.jpg

It is socialism because its the government who is pulling the strings.

For what its worth "communal ownership" is only an illusion because in socialism its the government that controls everything - NOT the people. The people dont own anything in socialism and the "workers party" is nothing more than an extension of government.

If you are going to be a raging ideologue, at least learn what the words mean.

It boils down to the same.

in which the ownership of industry and the distribution of wealth are determined by the state
ownership of industry ....... by the state Behold.....I show you GM.

Do you realize that literal socialism has NEVER existed???

"communal ownership" has NEVER occurred in any Marxist fashioned model.
