      Okay? Do you have a need to pretend that I care about some Conservative Thinktank’s views on some rich asshole’s little project town in the 1800s? I mean, it’s blatant propaganda, not even pretending to be a news site.

      Or maybe they are, I don’t care either way.

      Also, a rich asshole cannot, by definition, be part of a socialist anything. Not if words have real meanings.

        Some people left trash out, some bears came to town, so libertarian ideas are all bad. Yep makes sense.

        You can look up New Harmony indiana if you’d like to find a more credible resource. That’s just google’s top result. It did happen.

        Why am I going to go to work today to save lives in the emergency room if I got paid like everyone else? I had to go to years of schooling, my job is very stressful. Someone working making a hamburger should get the same wages as me?

        It makes sense that a fully socialist society would fail. Even if it has a rich asshole trying to fund it. But you’re right that’s not truly socialism and if it couldn’t work with injected funds from a rich asshole, it’s going to work without it?

        Too much of a good thing can be bad, just like in both examples.

          It wasn’t just “Some people left trash out and some bears came to town”

          It was “Libertarians cut funding for trash service and any other essential government service and made the town unsafe, and also a fuck load of bears started living in town because of it”

          Saner heads eventually took over and told the overgrown children to fuck off, and now the town funds basic services again.

          As to your weird obsession with making me socialist because I think libertarians have about as much sense as an elderly house cat, complete with kitty dementia, well, keep after if it makes you happy.

      At least “failed socialist state” somewhere in Europe and Asia left us with UHC and increased literacy rate from 5% to 100%. What did those wild capitalism experiments left?

      If at first you don’t succeed, give up and never try again.
