RE: Socialism? I thought this was capitalism!

in #dtube6 years ago

I was born in a Socialistic Country so please learn some facts before you start posting nonsense. We have enough of your propaganda on Facebook, Twitter and IG. Please don't bring that to Steem. We actually need people that can think. Not post nonsense.

There IS NO SOCIALISM / COMMUNISM in the USA! PERIOD.

I lived in a country with that. NO it's not close, it's not something like it, there is NONE of it here. You are posting this on STEEM built on capitalism.

I am so tired of hearing this nonsense from people that have never even lived in socialism or communism.

Please stop!

Then what's social security, Medicare, and Medicaid? Isn't the USA slowly turning to socialism?

People pay into social security and Medicare their entire lives, so these aren't giveaways. Medicaid is hard to get in most states and is for disabled people. Sure, let them just fend for themselves. Sheesh.

There were specific points that Adam made to support his claim of corporate, fascism/socialism being mistaken for capitalism... I respect your position, but I'd take more seriously if you addressed those points, instead of just saying, "there IS NO SOCIALISM / COMMUNISM in the USA! PERIOD".

And honestly, you're right when you say that platforms such as STEEM are built on capitalism. You have the opportunity on Steem to earn based on what you put into it. In other words, the value that you place on your own self-ownership, creativity and ingenuity is a determining factor in what you are willing to earn.

Of course there is, but it is not to the degree seen in some other countries.
