I Keep On Getting SPAM From Republicans Begging For Money So They Can FIGHT SOCIALISM. That's an ABSURD Cause. No One is In Favor Of Socialism. There is NO NEED to Fight It!

With The Exception of Bernie Sanders and AOC... and They are "Democratic Socialists" and That's Somehow Different from "Scandinavian Socialists" or "Kibbutzniks." Not Even Russia or China Are In Favor of Socialism! It Automatically Collapses from Obvious Internal Defects... 

I Don't Like SPAM. No One Like SPAM... They Don't Even Spell My Name Right. They Address Their Begging Letters To Greg Van Buskirk or Gregorio Vanderlaan - THAT'S NOT ME!

The "Wonders" of Capitalism: Monsanto and RoundUP - "Somehow" tRUMP's EPA has Concluded that RoundUP is Safe and Should Remain Legal and Yet... The Courts are Awarding Huge Fines for CANCER...

RoundUP Causes Cancer



A Discussion on Linkdin - a Guy was Promoting his Book. Rainbows & Unicorns: A Friend "Educates"​ Me on Socialism... https://www.linkedin.com/in/huntingconartists/

I Replied:
Sweden and Holland are Socialist Countries and They Are GREAT! 

Jim Rossi Said: I've spent a lot of time up in Humboldt and on the HSU campus, mountain biked through Community Forest at least 100 times, golf at Muni and Beau Pre, working. My buddy in the article lives in McKinleyville. Love it behind the Emerald Curtain - except for the delusional, cult-like fascination with socialism. No bueno. Have a great summer in the redwoods for me.

I Repiled: I never noticed any interest in Socialism in Humboldt County... I Went to College for four Years at HSU in Arcata in Computer Science... A Lot of People are Interested in Ecology - EARTH FIRST!, Playing the Drums (Samba Parade & Calypso) and... Growing Marijuana... a Pure Capitalist Business... No Taxes, No Government Regulations and Illegal...  Plenty of Interest in New Age Religion... Yoga, Hinduism, Zen, Wicca... 


~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~
and then we digressed into a lot of words about
the Relative Advantages of Capitalism, 
Communism and Socialism... 
~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

I Said: To Further Document the Absurdity of Monsanto... I See Television advertisements Promoting the sale of RoundUP at the Same Time That Other TV Ads Advertise Lawyers that will Represent you when you SUE Monsanto for Giving you CANCER... Do They Have This Madness in SWEDEN? Norway? Holland? Israel? 

I Said: An Especially Evil Corporation is  MAXXAM... Capitalism Gives us the Wonders of Junk Bonds and Michael Milken Loaning Charles Hurwitz Millions of Dollars so he could do a Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber... and Then Charles Cut Down all the Really Big Trees, Made a Massive Profit on them... Then "Magically" Declared Bankruptcy, Stole the Pension Fund and Went Back To Texas... Wonderful System You Have Here... https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2018/09/american-history-humboldt-county-timber.html

I Said: I like the Healthcare System in Canada. It Costs Less and Works Better. People LIVE LONGER with SOCIALIST MEDICINE. What is The Great Advantage of Paying for the Profits of the Stockholders of Pharmaceutical Corporations, Hospitals as Doctors... You Know Why We Pay More for Medicine...  Someone has to pay for profits... and that someone is You and Me... 


~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Someone Else Said: Many countries get away with what looks like socialism, but is really an advanced societal responsibility. Sweden and Norway are essentially monocultures with a huge, pervasive, monsterous pressure to conform and take responsibility for each other (sameness). That doesn't translate to the US or many other western cultures.

This article, in a graph towards the end, maps Norsk culture as one of the global cultures furthest from the USA. 

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-cultural-distances-between-us?utm_source=pocket-newtab

I Said: I Understand. "Monoculture" is Secret Code for WHITE PEOPLE. The Reason Socialism Works Great in Scandinavia is White People Can Make It Work... But Here in the USA we Have Black, Brown and Yellow People So It Won't Work Here. I Agree... 

No one Really Promotes Socialism in the USA... Except Bernie Sanders and AOC... It's Just a BOGUS Trump Insult... We are Going to Remain Capitalist for the Foreseeable Future... and BIDEN is NOT Socialist... BUT... It's Fun for Trump to Point the Finger and LIE... Danger Danger They Are Socialists... Yu Know... Just Like Red China and The USSR! 

I Do Like Socialist ROADS, FIRE DEPARTMENTS, POLICE DEPARTMENTS, WATER SYSTEMS, SEWER SYSTEMS, PUBLIC EDUCATION AND THE MILITARY... all paid for by All of Us Paying Taxes and The Society At Large Buying those things... Remember: Most TrumpNiks GET CONFUSED When FACTS are Presented... They Think That Communism and Socialism is the Same thing... of Course, Most TrumpNiks are Uneducated...  Is Israel Socialist? Kibbutz? another Example of a Successful Cooperative Society... 

I Like the Socialist Programs Called Social Security Retirement, Medicare and Unemployment Insurance... They Are Great! and When The Entire Economy Failed... It was wonderful that the Congress and Trump signed a Trillion Dollar Bailout for Everyone... A Capitalist Society Would Have Let the People Starve... FUN FACT! Ayn Rand Received Social Security Checks... I Guess She SHRUGGED Her Shoulders and said: "What They Hey! FREE MONEY!

Was The Bailout of Wall Street in 2009 a Socialist Act? The Banks Gambled Away All Their Money and The The Federal Government Magically Invented a Trillion Dollars so the banks Could Keep on Gambling... 

I do think #FRANCE1789 is a Good Solution to Our Crazy Capitalist System... What's The Logic behind Trump's Tax Cut for the Rich?  Well... The Super Rich Buy Politicians that Pass Laws That Benefit the Super Rich... If Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates Paid the Same Tax Rate as I Do... We Could Have Free College For All... and What's The Logic of our MASSIVE Defense Budget? Since 1945, The US Military has Never Defended The Country. NOT EVEN ONCE! All the Wars During My Lifetime Have Been BOGUS MARKETING so Lockheed, Boeing, Hughes and Dow could Sell Stuff to the Pentagon... https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2018/05/open-letter-to-our-elected.html


Guillotine - France 1789
#FRANCE1789
and then Jim Rossi Said: Here's looking at you, kid. Greg Vanderlaan and Included this Picture... 
Who is This?
Who is This?
Who is That Guy? I Do Not Recognize the Face... A Resident of Sweden? Holland? Norway? Denmark? Places that are EXCELLENT! I Have a Question: Was the Bailout of Wall Street in 2009 an Act of Free Market Capitalism? Ayn Rand Libertarianism? Or Was that "Magical" Creation of a Trillion Dollars Socialist? Welfare for the Rich? I Really Do NOT Know...  Is ENRON an Example of COMPULSIVE HOARDING OF MONEY SYNDROME?  #FRANCE1789 


Gee, I Would Appreciate it if You Put a Little More Effort into this Debate... Just Copying and Pasting a Pre-Fabricated Meme is Lame... Here is a Chart Comparing Socialist Healthcare Systems With For Profit Systems... Medicare For All COSTS LESS, WORKS BETTER. 

I Interviewed a Korean War Veteran for my Book "America's Bogus Wars" and asked: What was the Korean War All About? Why were we There? and he said...

"I have NO IDEA... and I was there for Two Years. If you Find Out, tell me." So, I did a little research online and... I found out!

After the Japanese Surrendered in 1945, there was a Power Vacuum all over Asia. The Japanese HAD conquered Many Asian Countries and then, when they were defeated... NO ONE was in charge of those countries. Many "National Freedom Movements" happened where the People of the conquered countries tried to seize power to control their own destiny...

In Korea, The Soviet Union occupied the North and the USA occupied the South. On 25 June 1950, the North Koreans launched a Surprise Attack... beating the South Koreans and the US Army all the way back to the south-eastern tip of the peninsula... General Douglas MacArthur Beat the North Koreans back BUT a Wave of  of Chinese ‘volunteers’ halted the advancing allies and forced them back to the 38th parallel.

and we have had a Border with a DMZ there ever since... 

SO, What were we doing there at all?  Fighting the Commies!
After WW2, The USA and The USSR was dividing up the world and we were just Grabbing Power... Like in Germany, with West Berlin and East Berlin... and a WALL between them.

Remember, this was 1950 and the USA was experiencing a Bizarro World RED SCARE! Congress had Un-American Activities Hearing lead by Senator Joe McCarthy... Of the Famous McCarthyism... Where, in a PANIC, they sought to Run the REDS out of Hollywood, and Arrest Folksingers. After all, They were Leading America's Youth ASTRAY... and CAUSING BEATNIKS! 

This lead to the Creation of the John Birch Society... and Young Americans for Freedom...

Love the ___ lines or the --- lines or even the  . . . lines.  Use them all the time.

Enjoying the time off . . .
Kicking back at home, more vacation  still waitin' for the Great American Novel.
To come to mind . . .  taking it real easy I guess . . .
Lots of name calling,  politics, anger, and negativity . . .
That just says who you are.
I choose, Mother Teresa,
My personal hero, Gandhi,
Copernicus, CARL Sagan, Einstein,  John Muir, should I go ON?
Sing praises to them, they are the ones that deserve it.
IT'S Fucking worked so far so get over it and work together instead of against all your brothers and sisters in this world.
Your attitude is simply old fashioned just like all those other GREAT men were.  Time to MOVE ON and give up the revolutionary attitude.
Time to just share, there is enough for all.  Why don't you get that my brother.

Steve


The Scream is Munch's most famous work, and one of the most recognizable paintings in all art. It has been widely interpreted as representing the universal anxiety of modern man.[48] Painted with broad bands of garish color and highly simplified forms, and employing a high viewpoint, it reduces the agonized figure to a garbed skull in the throes of an emotional crisis.

With this painting, Munch met his stated goal of "the study of the soul, that is to say the study of my own self".[50] Munch wrote of how the painting came to be: "I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard the enormous, infinite scream of nature."[51] He later described the personal anguish behind the painting, "for several years I was almost mad… You know my picture, 'The Scream?' I was stretched to the limit—nature was screaming in my blood… After that I gave up hope ever of being able to love again."[52]

tRUMP's PLAN: Force Poor Women to Have Unwanted Babies. If Trump Wins, Abortion will be Outlawed. Rich People will still be able to afford Illegal Abortions and So the Population of the USA will become Increasingly Poor People.

MEME - tRUMP is a Danger to the USA - gvan42
tRUMP is a Danger to the USA


KEEP ABORTION LEGAL. I know a Woman that threw herself out of a speeding car and landed on her belly in order to Cause a Miscarriage... Really... At that time, Abortion was Illegal and She Really Didn't want to have that Baby... tRUMP IS ANTI-CHOICE.

KEEP ABORTION LEGAL... I know another woman whose boyfriend did not want her to have his baby... so he kicked her in the belly and she miscarried... There ARE better surgical methods... Really...

KEEP ABORTION LEGAL... I remember that a friend of mine drove his girlfriend to Tijuana to get an abortion. Was that "Hospital" the highest quality? It is likely that Actual Doctors in the USA give better Health Care than TJ's Finest. In Olden Days abortions were often performed by random lawbreakers... Not a great system... This is important because BOTCHED abortions can leave the woman sterile. Maybe she doesn't want a baby at age 15 but at age 22 she does.. A Botched abortion removes that option. NO Choice.

Changing the Subject: I enjoy watching the David Pakman Show on Free Speech TV. He is an Insightful Talk Show Host that has the Ability to Explain Complex issues... Like what the Difference is Between Democratic Socialism like they Have in Sweden and Communism like they had in the USSR and China - Long Ago. Republicriminals constantly warn that if we elect Democrats we will have "Socialism" and then they give examples of Communism. Two Different Economic Systems but... easily fooled TrumpNiks Can't tell the difference... Hey, it Sounds Bad... the Boss Told Us it's Bad... So We Believe Him when he says that the real solution to our problems is to Give Rich People More Money.

https://youtu.be/QAPgeTXPqbs - The Show about Socialism and Capitalism... 

So far, Economic Systems Like they Have in Sweden work Great. That's why we should vote for Medicare for All. Lower Cost, Longer Lives. The System in France is a GREAT Model for what we could have here. They have Government Health Insurance and if you want MORE you can buy Private Health Insurance. That way if you want, you can get Faster and Better services... The GOP never tells the Truth because TrumpCare is all about increasing profits and not about people's health.

This is what Socialism Looks Like: Trump announced $16 Billion in WELFARE PAYMENTS to Farmers That are Harmed by His Insane Trade War.

When Obama was President, Farmers earned a living by Growing and Selling Crops. 

People ask: Where will all this Money come from? Well, from MORE Deficit Spending! Since Trump's Tax Cut for the Rich Law is Currently Failing to Collect Enough to Pay for the Cost of the US Government, we are Increasing the National Debt in Hopes that YOUR Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren and Great-Great Grandchildren will pay for it all... This Year had the Largest Deficit in History... and Now Trump wants to Make a $16 Billion Welfare Payment to Farmers and a $19 Billion Dollar Payment for Disaster Relief... The Midwest is experiencing Record Tornado Damage and Flooding due to Climate Change... and The West needs help for Wildfires... and and and... This Summer we Expect More of the Same!

I already own all the Cheap Chinese Junk I will ever Need. I have a Laptop and a TV and I'm going to keep them and use them for another decade. They work fine and there is no need to buy a BRAND NEW SMARTPHONE! because the one I already own is great... So the Chinese plan to stop selling RARE EARTH MINERALS that are required to make Electronic Gizmos... Well, so Freaking What! From now on I'm buying used... Used Clothes totally undermine the Chinese Fabric Industry... I find it INSANE that we Import Cotton Fabric... Why not GROW COTTON IN THE AMERICAN SOUTH? and Weave it in places like Burlington, Vermont... We did that Years ago... Why not Now?

Only an Idiot would Go to Vietnam unless he was Forced to... Everyone who had a Rich Daddy Dodged the Draft. It was a Totally Insane War... History has proved it to be a Horrible Waste of American Lives and Taxpayer Dollars. So Mayor Pete went to Afghanistan... Well, What The FORK did he Accomplish?

Maybe we should become Allies with Russia. End the Cold War and learn how to do business together.

What if Trump's right? What if all this anti-Russian panic is absurd? Why don't we stop with all the fear and loathing an let Exxon Mobil drill for oil in Siberia? We had a good partnership in World War Two. Then there was decades of bizarre anti-communist panic.

Well, The Russians simply want to make America another subject country bowing down to Putin's every desire. They already have Czar Donald the Puppet dancing on their strings...

I heard that during the 1950s Senator Joe McCarthy and the House In American Activities Committee hassled folksingers like Pete Seeger about whether or not he was a member of the communist party. People in Hollywood had their careers ruined because the government was afraid that they would use the power of films to influence public opinion and allow Commie Ideas to brainwash the masses. Seems absurd now...

Then we fought wars in Korea, Vietnam and Nicaragua to prevent creeping Communism from taking over the World. Well, we found out that even the USSR and China didn't like Communism. Not much danger of that economic system taking over... In the mean time, the USA lost over 50,000 lives and spent trillions of dollars fighting an enemy that was doomed to fail from within.

Why don't we just learn to get along? Sure, their country has problems. For example: they kill newspaper reporters that criticize Putin and they let their "Mafia" steal all the "Worker's Assets". Yes, THEY have troubles but are they not our troubles but THEIRS? Shouldn't we stop trying to "Improve" their government's behavior by imposing Sanctions? Why can't we be friends?

If we stopped believing the Cold War Brainwashing maybe everyone would be better off...

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara...
