OldNHMan decided to just about write a standalone post in the comments under my post on how central planning of an economy is FAR worse than millions of people making decentralized decisions on their own.
Socialism
Notable Quote – It’s always the “well, the right people haven’t implemented it” excuse
Yet while socialists distance themselves from contemporary and historical examples of socialism, they usually struggle to explain what exactly they would do differently. Socialists tend to escape into abstraction, and talk of lofty aspirations rather than tangible institutional characteristics. -Kristian Niemietz ( Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies) That’s all we keep hearing – … Read more
Socialism is Based on Greed – Capitalism is Based on Serving Others
Capitalism is based on one and only one thing – serving others. Capitalism, or you as a capitalist, cannot succeed unless you are serving customers’ needs or wants. Period.
Democrat National Committee Panelist – Our Aim is the Destruction of Capitalism
No longer does the question “What is the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist” have any relevance. There are none. One only has to understand what the Black Lives Matters movement has openly said about Capitalism and that the three founders are “trained Marxist.”
Notable Quote – Main Difference Between Capitalism and Socialism
On the main difference between capitalism and socialism, other than “Who Chooses?”: Socialism’s failure, and capitalism’s relative success, has much more to do with capitalism’s capacity to generate economically relevant knowledge.” -Kristian Niemietz (Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies)
Democracy is Tyranny
Democracy is tyranny. It was true in ancient Greece and it is true today. America was designed to foster a spirit of freedom. The nation, through the Constitution, as written, promotes enterprise among its people. The U.S. Constitution intends to thwart tyranny from majority rule. America is a free-market society.
Do you Conservatives know who Socialist Antonio Gramsci was? You ought to.
“While everyone was distracted by Saul Alinsky, it turns out the real action was Antonio Gramsci.”
Global Warming Hit Maple Syrup So Hard in 2020 We Set a Global Record for Production
Remember when Jeanne Shaheen said if we didn’t do something about global warming blah blah blah? Of course, you do, we bring it up all the time. And look, we’re doing it again.
A taste of Saul Alinsky from our commenters – heh!
Our commenters can be rather amusing at times even if their comments have a bit of a barb to them. This is sort of like the meme I saw on Facebook a while ago (no, I can’t find it) going along the lines of: We HAVE to put in Voter ID – We can’t allow … Read more
Are you going to work for free to pay for all of this?
According to “Main Stream Media,” President Trump is corrupt and evil, if so where is the evidence of that? Look, there have been numerous charges leveled at him. And any number of non-official and at least four official investigations.
Wouldn’t it be Wonderful?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could find a cure for all things that ail us? Perhaps we could make the cure from divine fruit. What do you think? Should the cure be fair to the eye? Would it be inviting to the palate? Would it grant us the virtue of wisdom?
Destroy America Based on a False Narrative
Cities across America have been burning. There has been widespread looting. In the aftermath property owners who were defending their life’s work were beaten senseless. What we see taking place throughout the country has nothing to do with George Floyd. It is an attempt at a totalitarian takeover.
So, What Does the Left Have Planned After the Riots Fail to Unseat Trump?
I’m somewhere between a half-dozen and a dozen conversations on the same theme. All of them with people who are not, to my knowledge, otherwise politically active. The subject? Democrats are behind all this crap from Russia to lockdowns to riots, so what’s next?
It’s Democrats That Are “Killing” Black Americans
The majority of blacks who die in America do so in cities that have been run and controlled by Democrats for decades. Complete top to bottom control of the government, the police force, everything.
On Left-Wing Role Models and How Looting is Just Leftism Without the Middle Man
The Democrats have turned George Floyd into a martyr, not because he was an inspiration or sacrificed for the good of others. On the contrary, George was a criminal who took from others. If anyone emulates that worldview, it’s the Democrat party.
Greenland Added 4 Gigatons of Ice And What COVID19 and CLIMATE ‘Do’ Have In Common
You can blame anything on Global Warming, but maybe Coronavirus can take credit for this. At the precipice of the summer melt season, Greenland added four gigatons of ice in a day. That’s a record for June.
Elected New Hampshire Official Who Blocks Constituents, Glorifies ANTIFA
NH State Rep. Sherry Frost uses social media to engage in political activity but limits access. In other words, she blocks people. The last time I checked, it was bad when a Republican did that. And it matters, so let’s add some context.
New Problem for NH Dems – ANTIFA to be Labeled a Domestic Terrorist Organization
We have close to 200 articles on GraniteGrok that are about or reference ANTIFA. A group formed in the 1930s for one purpose. To recruit National Socialists into the communist party. Terrorism and violence is always a solution.
Prof. Says, Zoom Meetings Are Loaded with Unconscious Bias and Micro-Aggressions?
When you let mentally insane individuals create a curriculum for the mentally insane, you get experts in this. Michigan State Professor Warns of “Unconscious Bias” and “Microaggressions” in Virtual Meetings. Did anyone tell the professor that pointing out unconscious Bias is based?
What if We Choose Socialism?
What if we choose socialism? What should we expect? Does Marxism have merit? Socialism as an economic system does not work. With that said, it might be the most attractive political ideology ever.
