If you make a habit of labelling folks as "right wingers" shouldn't you at least know what you're calling them? Seems to me the definition of a term you use so often should be much easier than this for you to define.
I use the term in place of radical extremist crackpot nutcase. It's just easier to type out right-winger and you lose none of the meaning.
What's that old saying? Ah yes, "You may be dumb, but you're not stupid". You're a bright boy and a self-admitted Socialist so I don't really need to explain it to you. Besides, I'm not a teacher; I work for a living.
Take it easy, tiger. I don't see anyone here on your side agreeing to explain your terms or even admitting that it's reasonable of me to ask you to do so.
I see. So when you say you're "anti-socialist" what you're really saying is that you're anti something you don't understand. I work too, by the way. I would expect most of us here do. You think you're special?
What are my terms? Other than calling lil joe moen an idiot from time-to-time (I'm no longer allowed to point that he's a pervert) I don't typically label
You're putting words in my mouth. Also, I didn't say I was special, I just don't have the inclination to try to teach you something you already espouse.
I'm not asking you to "teach" me anything. I'm simply asking you what you mean when you use the terms Socialist and Socialism.
Yeah, okay you're right. Your calling people idiots is about the extent of the discussion with you. Never mind.
OK, pay attention: socialism |ˈsōSHəˌlizəm|noun • a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. • policy or practice based on this theory. • (in Marxist theory) a transitional social state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of communism.
Okay so as an anti-socialist you believe that the community as a whole should have no ownership or regulatory power over the means of production, distribution and exchange? Thanks. It sure took a long time to get this out of you.
No, I call lil joe moen an idiot, well, because he is an idiot but that shouldn't have any bearing on your ability to define a label you use so often. You were pushing another member here to define a label he was using so it shouldn't come as a surprise that you would be asked to do the same. It's been several hours now, have you been able to come up with anything yet?
I'm a Capitalist. I have no tolerance for socialism, socialists, National Socialists, communists, Marxists, Social Democrats and Left-Wing Nuts. Instead of depending on others or the state, try Capitalism and self-sufficiency sometime. It works. Socialism, by definition, is a transition state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of communism. No thanks. capitalism |ˈkapətlˌizəm|noun an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
(Opens arms wide, begins to sing...shut it Tak)...David! ...David Crockhead! Yeah I know, doesn't quite have that ring too it, does it?... (shrugs)...Oh well, right?...(looks closer at David)...That is what you are saying, right?: "Oh well!"...(turning away)... Sooooo, would you say that to sayyyyyyy....(points to litlle girl)...that little girl there?....(turns back to David)...You can't see her, can you?....(nods, points to David)...There's your problem. I'll help you out in this one instance. The little girl is laying in a hospital bed. She's beautiful and she's smiling a distant smile. ...(turns to David)...She knows today is her last day alive. So, would you tell someone like her "Oh well!"?...or maybe "Oh well."...since you care, right? People ask who the true Christians are (I'd say "Mother Teresa", if asked), I say religion doesn't matter, all you need to do is be kind and caring. I get the impression you'd say "Oh well", anyway...(shrugs)...that's your choice.
