BS. The Nazis were nominally socialist but hardly socialist in reality.
Right-wing religious morons took over, that’s what happened.
We got conservative and stopped moveing foward.
I hardly believe it was all the conservative’s fault. A mixture of many of things, really.
But bush was a dummy. Really made the GOP look bad. He did defend this country, but why spend subsidizing for farms and business and introduce Medicare part D during a time of war. Can’t blame conservatives on that, but bush does carry some responsibility.
As for Obama…bleh, yuck. Don’t get me started.
From 1948, animators Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera warn against Obamanomics, and Comunism, and touts the benefits of Capitalism, and Freedom, in a hilarious, yet inciteful, cartoon.
Nobama didn’t get this on tv, while living in a hut in Kenya.
At 9:03, they bury it. “Working together…”… “for all”. No, each working for his own prosperity is what built America and made it great.
This wasn’t a commentary against communism or socialism. It was against fascism. It merely applies to communism and socialism, as well.
Freedom consists of this: Authority over your own life, and Responsibility for your own life. When you have both of these, you are as free as is possible.
The answer is quite simple. People demanded that the government do more and more for us,and we are paying the price. Of course, I do think you are being rhetorical.,but that is why. We gave up the rights of the idividual to the pleadings of the collective.
I am Canadian and all for Canada but I found this rather entertaining.:-) 4 stars
All the people who voted for Obama need to watch this!
Unfortunately, giovannadasilva, the people who voted for the obamessiah don’t have the intelligence to understand this or the time to view it – too busy with their 12-packs and remote controls to think! They have been well conditioned by the indoctrination system we call “education” and the mainstream media and hellyweird.
The ism for farmers and workers was communism. But the ism for management and politicians was fascism, right?
The only way to create a REAL Utopia is to let the people live their own lifes and learn how to live free!
Socialism always fails. ALWAYS.
Economist Milton Friedman: “Senator, socialism hasn’t worked in 6,000 years of recorded history,” explained Friedman. “Why won’t you give up on it?”
Ted Kennedy replied: “It hasn’t worked in 6,000 years of recorded history because it didn’t have me to run it.”
Einstein: Insanity (Stupidity) is doing the same thing over & over and expecting different results.
Please tell me where im wrong on this, i would like to know.
How is it not? Germany’s national socialist movement was quite similar to the system in Russia at the time. In 1920 the Nazi Party issued its party platform, co-written by Hitler and Anton Drexler and dedicated to the overreaching principle that the “common good must come before self interest”
It has its concerted appeal to socialistic and populistic -economics:
-abolition of income from interest
-nationalization of trusts
-shared profits with labor
-expanded old age pensions
-and more!
Loonmaniac needs to widen his scope of intelligence and grasp the idea that BOTH systems are defined as TOTALITARIAN. That is to say…THE GOVERNMENT HAS THE LAST WORD…sound familiar…yet? Better wake up folks. The GOV wants to make you happy…RUN!!!!!!!
