According to some measures Socialist Germany is the most successful country on the planet right now.
According to some studies, the “happiest” countries in the world are the ones with the least income inequality.
The American Government and American Society are “not in the business” of being successful or making people happy, it is in the business of creating and preserving an Upper Class, a Ruling Class. Europe’s monarchies led to Socialism. America’s Capitalist Democracy is leading to Monarchism….and Aristocracy.
Perhaps we cannot reject Monarchism, as Europe has done, until we fully create it?
Let’s face it and admit it and make it an open goal. Instead of being defensive and trying to “counter the charges.”
Democratic Socialism is proving to be the best, and by best I mean fairest, form of government on the Planet.
We want America to be, lol, like Germany.
The Lol comes from the fact that America won the War….and Germany has won the Peace. And at least in part they won the Peace by having their former form of government destroyed in the war, then the Clod War, and then, after the destruction….starting somewhat, from scratch.
Now I am FAR from being an expert on German Socialism…and I am sure that Lefties in Germany are FAR from happy with their system. But…apparently you can still get rich in Germany. Which is one objection to Socialism, that it levels the playing field too much and doesn’t let “entrepreneurs” rise to the top. While not taking the deadly toll of what the President just referred to as collateral damage…on the citizens of our own country.There are starving people in America. Homeless, foodless, healthcareless people……their dignity as human beings robbed from them, to give to the rich.
The Goal is a system where you can get obscenely rich, but you can’t get obscenely poor.
This IS done “on the backs of” the Rich. The Rich pay higher taxes, and this is an abomination to those who have already got theirs.
But societies and economies have to be built on the backs of somebody.
And at the end of the day, at the end of politics, at the end of moral values and moral hazard…it is eminently better for everyone, including the Rich…if society is built on the backs of people who actually have something.
