Except Russia - being the only country that's even bigger than Canada. Would it be rude to add 'Inuits with accents like cartoon characters' to your list of Canadian charms?

I loath "memes" mostly because you have to take them at face value, and the world simply doesn't work like that. Everything has depth. The one below will be the last ill post on ACD.

Of course the US already leads the way in wealth redistribution - from poor to rich. That said, the young lady in the picture probably uses her Apple Mac with Facebook/Twitter to moan about capitalism whilst ignoring the very capitalistic nature of all those companies. Did you know that Holland actually has decreasing inequality in money terms? The home of Shell Oil, Philips, ING et al. could hardly be described as Socialist.

On the topic of wealth redistribution. You're right. The richest, often become rich, because of fun accounting tricks that allow redistribution of their costs. For instance the American Interstate system, was a nice stepping stone for any companies looking to expand beyond regional markets. The bill paid for by the tax payer, because he is foolish enough to think he benefits the 1 or 2 times a year he gets to use them to commute on a vacation or visit Aunt Ruth. I suppose to be fair, he does get to buy more stuff, so I'm not apposed to the roads themselves, just who pays for building, and maintenance. The other more commonly mentioned scenario is Walmart being subsidized with food stamps for their employees who aren't paid a "living wage" I say pay them the same, and get rid of food stamps, maybe that will force them to find better employment, a trade, or their own business...or die trying like the rest of us, there equality :wink:

The lower income fools calling for their "fair share" and endorsing redistribution aren't different than the scum at the top doing, and wanting the same shit. Difference being, is they actually getting the power, and the money. Might make some folks feel like a failure. :roll: It is so, if you think it so. :mrgreen: I now take the position that they 8) sacrifice all love, for all wealth, so its no big fucken deal. :mrgreen:

For the record I never mentioned, anywhere on this forums, of Holland being socialist. Like good weed, socialism has no boarders too. It is in the hearts of misguided people. It's my understanding that Holland didnt invent slavery, just the model to profit from it. So be sure to add that to the list of capitalist accomplishments, because not EVERY capitalist endevour ends with total success. Id argue very few. Oil spills consistently every decade. iPhone, and iPads manufactured by China slaves. There are no solutions, only trade offs. Maybe those people in China are better off? I dont know. Maybe they just need oil, and only way to get that is with federal reserve notes, and they are just obeying the rules :lol: Like those fools who obey the medical, or cannabis rules :lol:

All countries fail at social aspects, because all people fail at social aspects. We're not perfect. Go easy on yourselves, and your neighbors. Or get fucked

Well, spank my ass and call me misguided!!! :D

...Nothing wrong with socialism... Just a shame so many manage to escape it's inherent fairness with lawyers and bribes.

...I'm speaking from experience here, in a socialist(apparently) nation.... When it's allowed to work unhindered, it does.

Ah but theres the rub to the utopian dream, the system, any system has to justify and defend itself against those other systems and people that would diagree with it. As it in fact disagrees with and would seek to subvert them. :|

I used to be quite taken with the socialist ideal long ago, until I understood about Stalin and the nature of one trick regimes around the world.

We are most of us aquisitive creatures, arguably capitalistic in nature. Whats needed is a form of benign social/capitalism, such as exists among a lot of individuals, but not systems on this planet. Could we handle it? :roll:

...Sorry Spider... I'm genuinely not smart enough to understand what you mean here?!?! ...My brain just will not grasp it. :oops:

Didn't Stalin totally bastardise the socialist agenda, by insisting on crow-barring in a hefty wadge of communist ideals into the mix?

Probably way out of my depth here, but i really am interested; just, as i said before, not very bright. :roll:

It (socialism) is flawless on paper, I will give you that....However, bring in a few cold heart fucks, self interest fucks, and its game over for basically everyone else. Democracy not much better....51% (or in great state of FL 60%) rule the 49%....Funny how democracy allowed the war on drugs, and now that same flawed system is going to fix it? Get over your self, indeed. A republic requires "the people" know the laws, instead of whats on sale at stores, so that's problematic too...
