Socialism phobia: a condition that leaves sufferers unaware that the United States has enjoyed a capitalistic-socialistic form of government since before they were born. In the more severe cases of
socialism phobia, those saddled with the disorder have been observed, at the mention of the sword, to fly to their basement safe rooms where for hours they warily peer from behind floor-to-ceiling crates of survival rations until lured out by family members’ announcements that Tucker Carlson is coming on.

My observation is that most of the people here think social anything = evil. Maybe they should burn their social security checks and refuse medicare in protest? Then when a child is born in their family that requires millions of dollars worth of medical care to save, what will they decide? I ask myself.. what would Jesus do?
They see the bigger issue. So SWWWOOOOSSSHHHHHH

Maybe you should go read all the Socialist and Communist discussions already on here, and THEN tell us what you observed.

So much negativity makes my head hurt.

It’s much easier to listen to what comes out of the CIA propaganda machine.

“Wars happen when the government tells you who the enemy is. Revolutions happen when you figure it out for yourselves.”

Yet, here you are ready to regurgitate those discussions as if you suddenly have different answers.

Your head ought to hurt.  The garbage you have rolling around upstairs can't be healthy.

You have a rather perverted concept of "Social".
Social Security and Medicare that I receive, I paid for
and continue to this day to pay for.
As for Medical care, that requires the services of other people,
you have no "right" to those services as they are not your slaves.
How you pay them is YOUR personal problem, not ours.
Socialism is where the government takes from me, my property
and arbitrarily gives it to someone else, because those people
are more numerous and can out vote me.
They are evil.  They are thieves.  I repudiate them.
Regardless of their political party affiliation.

Like gun control, socialism doesnt happen over night. Free college here, free medical there, free $2k a month next, and so on. Next thing u know, full blown socialism is adopted. This is what xhe doesnt understand and why there are many who dont support the next "free" stuff that DNC politicians want.

Why Do People Fear Capitalism?
Quote
The following are some of the reasons why most people—even intelligent, ambitious business students—are afraid of capitalism:

- A sense of duty to take care of others, and in turn, desire to be taken care of, based on
the altruist idea permeating our culture that we are our brothers’ keepers. People find it
comforting that the government—by collecting taxes from us—provides a ‘safety net’ for
those who cannot look after themselves, including ourselves should some misfortune strike.

- Inability to project alternatives to the current system. For most of us, government-run
education and health care systems, private postal service, roads and utilities, or regulated
business, are the given. Government has always provided “services” to us; they are our
entitlements. If everything was privatized, nobody, except the rich, could afford education,
health care, or even using the roads! If government didn’t regulate businesses, we would
be killed or hurt by their products!


- Lack of confidence in one’s ability survive and flourish—which means a lack of confidence
in one’s ability to think and solve problems. This is a fundamental insecurity many people
have, due to the inadequate education they have received in the government school system
where they never learned to think independently and in principles.

However, the above reasons are not grounded in facts and can be countered by showing how
capitalism, instead of benefitting a few, is the only social system that makes human flourishing
possible for everybody.

Those who fear it, dont understand the bigger picture. Same people want free health care and never experienced it.
