Doesn't sound like freedom to me. How many American citizens has any US President killed? Sending them off to war doesn't count...I mean ruthlessly murdered? How many US Presidents have ruthlessly murdered and massacred US civilians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can call your dictatorship whatever you want, in the end you're still just a simple tyrant. Mussolini was a tyrant and fascist. The Nork idiot calls his dictatorship the Democratic People's Republic. Mugabe was elected and became a tyrant. But a system in which you have a much freer hand to control every resource (socialism) is going to be more attractive to a tyrant than a democracy. Notably tyrant tend not to have elections or they tend to be the only one running. It's kind of like watching the Harlem Globetrotters play that team full of white guys.

I know you know, I just wanted to tell you that I know too They can't make their own conclusions, they have their gospel of greed to blindly parrot. Look at the bright side: those who are so afraid of socialism, are following a puppet controlled by KGB officer. It's so morbidly funny it's not even tragic anymore I take it Croatia is a Socialist Country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't bore me with internet defs...tell me in your own words what you think socialism is. It's nothing to do with freedom or oppression the way you put it. Just because the interpreters hijacked it doesn't mean that was it's initial purpose. It's intended ideal was a society where there was social and economical equality provided by the State (not the ruling Party). Probably a utopic idea for our era but traits of Socialism in western societies are good and if there was more of it you wouldn't have the 1% manipulating and splurging over the other 99% with many of these starving because there isn't a healthcare system that offers them relief.

By the way, you're off topic. The topic is Trump extorting favours from Ukraine, with intention to gain personal advantage over his political competition. Sane Americans say that's against your Constitution. How can you live with that? How could Trump be extorting favors from Ukraine when Ukraine was already investigating Joe Biden's son months before Trump ever made that call? Splain me that one pleaze...
