Socialism

Mr. Z.:   ...And so the differences between our two parties seem to have much the same flavor in the mouth, one of intimate vituperation, and so it seems do political caricatures and political characterizations of all kinds. Trump sure does seem ugly to me, he says some stupid things, his irrational social policies are a terrible setback, and his misogyny is pretty unforgiveable. But then look at what some of our people have done. What HRC did to Bernie Sanders, what Bill did to HRC, what the Obamas are doing to Jackson Park. It's all in the family.

Mr. S.:    Except Republican policies promote homelessness and social stratification.  Democrat policies target the rich to pay more taxes to help the suffering. Republican policy guarantees homelessness. Democrat policies reduce corporate profits. Where does your heart lie? I don't even vote because the USA is so corrupt and anti human. America just sucks. However, Republican party has changed since the Eisenhower days. Today the Republican party ideals are Fascist. Fascism IS primarily the government guarantee of corporate profits (and nothing else). The Democrat party has more socialist ideas to help the common people. Personally I am disappointed that most Americans are so brutally selfish they care nothing for the welfare of their fellow men and are "absolutely unconcerned" to see people become homeless and risk dying in the street.

 Public Works are socialist. Water and Power and sewage plumbing systems are a manifestation of "Socialist" ideology. The Police Department, Fire Department and Public Libraries fill a "Socialist" need in society. Standards and practices and government building regulations are all "Socialist" restrictions on the free market. In fact any public service or utility is "Socialist" so... "WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?"

 Mr. Z.:   No, I'm convinced that many if not most Republicans truly still believe the old saw that a rising tide lifts all boats. Only problem is, they'd never be willing to test it on themselves.

 Mr. S.:   No, I'm convinced that many if not most Republicans truly do not care about anyone but themselves and their own material wealth.
