Re: Maher and friends on socialism
Again, destruction of a concept is helpful in avoiding discussion of it. You can have one country be more "socialist" than another, but never an ideology or status called "socialism."
This is how they conveniently dismiss and discredit even the slightest deviation from what they really want, which is to operate free of any taxation, criticism, supervision, regulation, or law.
Yep, that's it. Anyone who thinks that our Federal government is getting too big, too powerful, and too intrusive, obviously wants no government at all.
After all, there's no difference at all between opposing the government taking over the entire health care system and opposing traffic laws.
And of course, there's no difference between the political philosophies of the United States and China. After all, there are people in both nations running businesses.
