How true is this?:
The six contradictions of socialism in the United States of America:
1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.
2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.
3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.
4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.
5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.
6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
The left base sees capitalism. The right base sees socialism. In pure economic terms, the USA is a fascist country. Fascism is the merging of government and corporate power. Both democrats and republicans act on the favor of big companies and the big companies lobby elections to benefit themselves, while enacting regulations that eliminate or impede competition.
