2. Wow!

Every word, truth.

And the only ones who get to enjoy the benefits of socialism are millionaires and up.

5. What you say is not true, Octafish

The people have enjoyed benefits of our very limited socialism provided to the people by our government.

I would hope you could explain to us some of the best aspects of our very limited socialistic setup.

10. Indeed

Bernie will turn that around. Make sure private losses are absorbed by the capitalists, and make all People the recipients of the gains America produces.

4. A popular saying in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union:

"Everything the communists told us about communism was false. But everything they told us about capitalism was true."

Word the fuck up.

7. I'll go one further

This super capitalism will bring on communism .

Its a vicious cycle untill a truly fair system is devised around equity .
