Once Sweden started getting hit, the argument that society could somehow accommodate all of them went out the window. Sorry fellas, your ideology is not equipped to handle this phenomenon. Manchester seen far worse attacks and survived without becoming a xenophobic piece of poo poo like yourself. Since we are debating the veracity of ideology and you reckon this is going to destroy multiculturalism, what say you we have a little wager? I'll toxx that Manchester will remain as red as ever in the next general election, will continue to accept and welcome immigrants with open arms, if you toxx that Manchester will somehow see the light and capitulate to fear, choosing 'strong and stable' May to protect us from the evil immigrants.

Regarde Aduck posted:This thread is argueing for a very different thing to you. When this thread champions socialism it's championing a fairer society, strong worker rights, strong welfare systems and intelligent energy policies. An end to corporations controlling the government via corruption and increased living standards for all. But for you socialism is apparently all gulags and east Germany. Because you've 'no true scotsmanned' yourself into that corner. You're playing games with labels. As for myself, I will not disagree that those are good policies and that they are held by most socialist parties, at least in democratic countries. I disagree that any of those policies are exclusively socialist and make a country that has adopted them socialist. A democratic country can have a socialist party in government and can enact policies favored or championed by such a party, even identify the policies as socialist. "Socialist state" as was initially said implies something more than that though (to me atleast), it implies an ideological foundation that is simply not there in the case of the Scandinavian countries, which are still markedly capitalistic economies with free markets, Norway for instance is one of the most business-friendly in terms of the ease of setting up a business and such, in the world. It might seem like kind of a game with labels, but it will still annoy and embarrass me when it comes up. Randarkman fucked around with this message at 15:19 on May 23, 2017 |

Nah, we're just not seeing evidence that the system you're proposing works for most people. In fact, we can see that it fucks over the vast majority of people, so we're offering possible solutions. The end-goal of socialism is to HELP PEOPLE. All people (maybe except the ones doing the exploiting now, they're gonna be worst off, because gently caress them), which means that if the system doesn't work, we'll change it to something that does.

Anarchism and certain strands of Communism/Socialism RELY on people starting their own business/hobby for the good of society, that's not a capitalist thing either.

One of the benefits is that anyone who complains about it can be simply accused of being a bigot instead of engaged.

Ehhh, wtf. No anti-authroritarian like an actual libertarian supports fascism as a mode of governing people. If you honestly believe what you said, it also means liberal left wingers support Islamism, because they are adamant that Muslim migrants should have no requirements to moving to Europe -> not even Islamists because vetting is a crime/not possible -> all must be given a new home who seek it -> poo poo blows up soon (again) and they (the left) didn't care about it. Not a very palatable chain of thinking, right? But that is what you just did...
