LMAO the government displaced and creates poverty and turns right around and creates a culture of people who say, “choices” literally one of the worst countries to profit off of slavery, criminalize people for skin color, and then says, “choices” and y’all wonder why people are for socialism.
I often here people say there is no evidence ever of a socialist structure that works…this is not only wrong but unbelievably odd thinking…
1. I can say without a doubt after 15 years in the US military, it is 100% the closest thing to a socialist society that I have ever known and it was by far…and I mean by FAR the best quality of life I have ever known. So as an example…a medical corpsman had to go to school for a year to be a corpsman…I on the other hand only had to go to school for one month to become a chaplains assistant…we both made same salary…lived in the same neighborhood, had same access to health care, had access to same stores, same gyms, etc…and our kids went to the same schools… and oddly enough contrary to the notion that capitalists would have us believe – that people who produce would stop producing in these types of environments because of reduced incentives – it just wasn’t the case. Nobody actually cared…we all went to work and did our jobs and had happy lives. the people that worked in the hospitals did not quit because the plumbers and the cooks and the electricians made the same as they did. And even when a person made more money…it was a reasonable amount…the captain of the base might make $150k but nobody cared because we were making $40-80k ourselves….whereas in capitalists structures the captain would make $500k or more while all the bottom 99% of the company make $30-50k. Plus what was great was even the difference in salary between people in the military didn’t create the class system that you see in the civilian world. I still shopped and ate and went to the same gym and went to the same theaters and our kids went to the same school as the captain of the base so even when somebody did make more it didn’t create class systems. What I loved as well was that – even though obviously some people made more money than others in the military – it was based on how well you did your job so your performance…so I made more money as a chaplains assistant as an E6 rank than a paralegal or medical corpsman E3 even though they had to go to school much longer to get their job than me… So it was a system that rewarded your competency and how hard you worked rather than creating a system that is built on the idea that one person is just inherently more valuable to our society than another no matter how hard you work. It was nice living somewhere where the lawyers and doctors etc. didn’t live in one community while the rest of us peasants and serfs had to live in a slum on the other side of the base. It was nice being able to go to the gym or a store and see doctors and lawyers and ministers and plumbers and cooks etc. all creating one society.
2. If a system that has at its bedrock the idea that the wealthy have to share more equally and therefore have limits to their greed…and they fight back with all their resources to burn that system down to protect their own interests…that doesn’t necessarily mean the idea was bad. It just means a very small group of people who control all the wealth can and will do anything to maintain the balance of power no matter what. The collapse of that system demonstrates a problem with human beings not with the system they burn down.

Naval really doesn't get it.
Monopolies can only happen when government colludes with the private sector.

He states amazing well what I’ve always believed and practiced
