Glad to see that they’re not going all “boys club” and trying to ignore or defend these actions. It’s far too common that these sorts of problems pop up and everyone just wants to sweep it under the rug.

It’s hard to argue against everyone having food, shelter, and healthcare. However, the government is not self-sufficient, and requires a portion of every working person’s income in order to provide said services. This simplistic and dissociated view, that the government can just do things for people, is something…

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Thats what U.S.S.R stands for for all you mental juggernauts who think Socialism is hip. . Putting “Democratic” in front of Socialist doesnt change the fact that it is Socialism. How did that work out by the way. Try adulting

Fine, but I just used “you’re” and “your” on the internet correctly about 10 times. So I’m just going to be proud of my post.

here’s an anecdote, take it or leave it..

I was attributing the quote to Ben so it didn’t look like I was plagizarizing. I agree with his anti-socialist sentiments because I believe in personal responsibility. I also disagree with his views on abortion. Quoting his stance on abortion does not weaken the validity of his pro-capitalism argument.

“Usually what they say is, ‘When has socialism ever worked?’” she said. “I think the logical response to that is, ‘Do you call this—capitalism—working?’”

Capitalism is a philosophy based on ambition.

Obviously. Once you stop sucking off your parent’s financial teet, the idea of wanting to keep as much of your money as possible sounds a lot more reasonable.

The assembled youth were especially committed to redistributing wealth from their parents to their landlords.

“Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don’t give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced…

Think the next logical step in their peaceful, healthy debate / exchange is for those students to live in / be embedded in a classic, hardcore socialistic country for 6 months. Sans any of the Capitalistic-byproducts they’ve expressed concerns about.

Ahh, carefree young folks that want to give away everyone’s shit. They always finished in first place, and would like us all to feel it ! Godbless them, at least they are getting involved in the process.

What’s the old adage? When you’re in your 20's and you’re a Republican you don’t have a heart. When you’re in your 30's and you’re a Democrat you don’t have a brain.

Studies have shown that young people tend to move away from socialism once they enter the workforce.
