Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostI don't think so. There are similar elements, to be sure. But it's not a mirror image. The socialism here is based on an underlying principle of personal and corporate freedom as a nation - of the government as the servant of the people. The socialism in Russian is based on the underlying principle of the ultimate authority of the state and people as servants of the state. They are very different things.
Maybe we should just limit this corrupt socialism to one state, maybe Maryland?Last edited by mikewhitney; 01-21-2020, 11:47 AM.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostHow is it different? Real and legitimate evidence vs a single nutcase hack might have something to do with it. Trump has close connections to a large number of people with close ties to Putin. That is real. And in anyone's playbook prior to this insane presidency, that alone would have been justification for a thorough investigation of those ties and the very real potential Donald Trump is dangerously compromised by them.
But I have additional reasons to pronounce it nutcase stuff. But not things I am willing to discuss. And so that is all you get. It's nutcase stuff.

Originally posted by seanD View PostThere's no question that the socialism of the progressive left is a mirror image of the socialism of the Soviet Union (especially the way they try and shut down free speech behind the cloak of political correctness). I don't think anyone would dispute that, except maybe the hardcore leftist socialists themselves. In fact, I don't find it an accident that pro-Russian networks like RT and Sputnik push progressive politics because that's obviously more aligned with their old socialist philosophy. What I'm having trouble is how she's connecting the intelligence community to that whole thing when they're the ones creating red scare paranoia at the same time. Is there a point in the video she addresses this?
It seems like the Dems like to scare us about Communism as the boogeyman at the front door while letting it's sister, socialist policy, in through the back door. Most of the enabling of Communism would happen in offices in DC where workers are about 99% Democrats. Offices outside of DC may have more balanced political perspectives. (I'm not saying that so many of the Democrat voters are promoting Communism.)

That it was in reply to seanD wondering how two conflicting ideas were reconciled. You cant expect a nutcase video to have dealt very thoroughly with logical contradictions, because if a person is capable of recognizing logical contradictions and has a full knowledge of the subject matter, they would never have made the nutcase video in the first place.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.
