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...
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.

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
and then Jim Rossi Said: Here's looking at you, kid. Greg Vanderlaan and Included this Picture...
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.
