Rethugs keep calling us "socialist" everyplace? Let's call them what they are! ANTI-SOCIAL!!!

[cascadiance]

Which in addition to labeling them the same way they are labeling themselves as, it also pins down what in fact they are in this economy when they constantly try to stand in the way of needed reforms every place to try and restore it where their fascist agenda has failed!

1. "fascists" has a bit more resonance n/t

9. I like it too, but perhaps this term might do things like keep them off of "social networks" online

... so that they won't fear that their equivalently stupid friends will call them "socialist" for doing so. Also pigeonhole them with other areas where "social" is part of the name of something. Confuse the different meanings of "social" to our benefit when it comes to idiots...

Even if they can at some point try to pinpoint the difference to us, and they say, well those things aren't really "socialist", then you HAMMER them and ask them, "Well hey genius! Why don't YOU tell us what defines a 'socialist' so that we can see if what you're saying is true?

Then if they try to switch gears and say "well at least your what you're doing is "communist". Then come back by saying, "Well come back when you have a better idea of what the sense of 'community' is!"

2. Isn't "anti-social" a polite euphemism for "Corrupt Bastards"?

:rofl:

3. That is a very good term. You are onto something. nt

5. My neighbor whines about the evil socialist democrats

I ask him if I could depend on his private police force and private fire department and drive on his private highway. Since ignorance is a conservative value he doesn't understand that to which I am referring.

6. This is why political science 101 should have High School class equivalent taught mandatory.

We'd catch about 1/2 of them going in and the other 1/2....well you can't fix stupid.

7. fascists/GOP

8. In your best Jeff Foxwothy voice: If... YOU may be a socialist. Rerun of an old post

Memo to those who feared Obama would make us a socialist or communist nation:

IF you have ever driven on a road which was built, maintained, patrolled for safety using public monies.... YOU may be a socialist.

IF you helped your elderly parents sign up for Medicare so you would not have to pay for all the healthcare they need... YOU may be a socialist.

IF you have ever eaten ANYTHING you did not grow yourself, anything which was grown with any governmental program to help the producer, shipped over any public roadway, inspected for your safety at any point.... YOU may be a socialist.

IF you sent your kids to a public school... YOU may be a socialist

IF you home-schooled, but asked for any help from any public official along the way, or if you used a public library rather than write, print and use your own books... YOU may be a socialist.

IF you are a proud Libertarian but have EVER ventured off your own property, used anything you did not grow, harvest, manufacture yourself on that property... YOU may be a socialist

IF you are a Libertarian or anti-government voter who ever invested in buying stock, held a bank account, owned or used American currency... YOU may be a socialist.

If you have been anything but a hermit in a loincloth, you may be a socialist. If you define socialism as any form of taking tax money from people to provide people with the services and infrastructure, you are lying to yourself about how ruggedly independent you are. You are dependent on the society and the society takes care of many needs.

If you want help me make a list of groups who may be socialists, leave a comment and add to the list. It is Friday, end of a very long week, we could use an exercise in consciousness raising that could provide us with a bit of humor too.

from my personal blog (no, I won't post that url here) and saved at DU page http://journals.democraticunderground.com/havocmom

Point out to all those who hate pinko socialists that if they don't do EVERYTHING for themselves, they are using the social infrastructure. Say it loud, proud, and very often.

10. It's guilt by association, and it's all my fault.

You see, I AM a socialist (democratic-socialist, actually) and so, that makes us ALL socialists.

My deepest apologies.
