Debunked: Socialism has never worked

[Sparko]

The liberals are all against fascism and authoritarianism. Except when it happens to be in a socialist country, like Venezuela, or Cuba, or China, or any other socialist/communist country. Then it is fine apparently. And the people just happen to be oppressed and starving because of an unfortunate "dip in oil prices" or some such.

Leftists against authoritarianism?

Apparently, that's what they keep accusing the conservatives and Trump of being while they go around burning cars and throwing hissie-fits when anyone says anything they disagree with.

Oh I know what they claim. It's a good joke.

At home, our constitution provides a way forward if we will heed its words. Our proposal is simple but powerful: All rights for all people. Not some rights for some people. No regime should have the power to decide who gets access to which rights. This idea may be taken for granted in other countries, but in my country, Venezuela, it is a dream worth fighting for.[/box]

Not any more. After the recent sham vote to let Maduro rewrite the constitution.

No, it is not fine apparently, what is apparent is that you have no idea what you are talking about when you speak of liberals.

Bet you can't produce such a quote. I guess thats what you'd call putting your foot in your mouth.

OK. Tassman was defending a liberal value: Global Warming and argued that no one should question the scientific consensus. We argued that of course they should that is what science is about and how science advances. I made a sarcastic comment that copernicus should not have questioned the scientific consensus and then you chimed in and totally trashed Tassman's initial argument by actually making the very point we made to Tassy:

Well who was Capernicus to question the scientific consensus about the solar system?

Copernicus was a scientist, unlike most theists, thats what scientists do, they question scientific hypotheses, beliefs.

Yes, yes it is. Am I at all surprised that you're totally blind to your goof? Not in the least. You're nothing if not consistent.

You're nothing if not a complete moron. Global warming isn't "liberalism" you jackass.
