IS THIS WHAT SOCIAL JUSTICE IS??

So now liberals are communists? It was pushing the envelope to imply that all liberals are socialists. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

I hear the term "progressive" and I don't know where that fits in.
I consider myself a Conservative and make no other monikers for it...how about yourself??

"Socialism is an economic system where the means of production, such as money and other forms of capital, are owned by the state or public. Under a socialist system, everyone works for wealth that is in turn distributed to everyone. Under capitalism, you work for your own wealth. A socialist economic system operates on the premise that what is good for one is good for all. Everyone works for their own good and for the good of everyone else. The government decides how wealth is distributed among the people."


I am a Liberal, slightly left of center. I am also a Capitalist and have benefited from living in a country that is capitalist. I worked for my own wealth and except for taxes and charitable donations, I want to keep what I made.

However, I do think we owe it to others who are less well off to, in minor ways, subsidize them but certainly not to the extreme. I had a family member, a single mom with a teenage son, who lost her job and received unemployment and food stamps until she found a new job. I can't believe anyone would have a problem with that.

As I implied with my earlier post, I think it is wrong to simply assume that every Liberal is a Socialist, or even worse, a Communist.

"Black conservative" now were dealing with ideology based on race!!
Is their and group that identifies "white liberal" vs "black liberal"??
Just a question, is antifa... another identifier "conservative" or "liberal"...
This group at this website is just trying to throw together a bunch of sub group terminology to try and explain what they don't understand.
What is their take on liberalism, socialism and communism???

The issue is the Liberals have been pushing socialist type agendas so the left of center is becoming very left of center in my opinion , true communism is sometimes the end result of the social agenda. ( gov control over everything)

FWIW none of my viewpoints as to why I believe I am slightly left of center can in any way be related to socialism. I have already stated that I am a Capitalist and not a Socialist. So to equate being Liberal with being Socialist is wrong.

Communism sucks!

You called me a commie and stupid because you lost the debate. You also showed your ignorance of political formats when you implied the Socialism and Communism were interchangeable terms. Somehow you personally responded to the losing comment and tried to make it about parties instead of you and I. Then you followed up saying you never insult anyone while talking about the insult you just posted. Your spelling is a bit off so I guess you meant BTW instead BTH. I am not a mind reader but when you blatantly display your position it is pretty easy to deduce your thoughts on a given topic.

One more thing I might add. Your four dots ( should have been 3), imply a run on in the sentence. By ending it with "stupid" it makes it a personal attack directed at whomever you were responding to. In this case it was me and and I am offended so I hit the RTM button. Have a nice day!
