Why is it considered "socialism" when American taxpayers get a refund on the taxes they've paid in the form of benefits, but NOT when corporations that didn't pay taxes to begin with get taxpayer-funded bailouts and to use the roads and bridges that taxpayers paid for....? 🤔

Many Mumbaikars have been conditioned to accept overcrowded local trains in the name of the "Spirit of Mumbai." Millions travel in overcrowded local trains every day, packed so tightly that basic dignity and safety disappear. What should be seen as a serious infrastructure failure is often celebrated as resilience.

"I hope this is a rude awakening for everybody out there who is pro big government, pro socialism, and pro communism." "What's happening right now is exactly why the government should never be in control of our food, health, or housing." "If is serves their purpose, they will let you starve and die homeless on the streets." "Wake up people." BASED!

Re: Mamdani/Hochul, Dems see socialism as five letter word: "great". The net popularity of socialism is up 29 pts since 2010 with Dems. Capitalism, however, has a net negative rating with Dems. This should leave the GOP/Trump salivating as socialism remains unpopular overall.

I’m the only person on this stage who will be honest about this. Social Security was established as a safety net program to make sure that no one would grow old in this country in poverty. Rich people should not be collecting it, and if we want this program to last we need to raise the retirement age.

As I have said many times, investments in health and in universal health coverage should not be seen as a cost, but as an investment in healthy, productive and resilient societies. Fundamentally, #HealthForAll is a political choice. #WHA77

Communist propaganda in the U.S. is getting out of hand! This genius, like many other leftists, is spreading propaganda claiming that after Mamdani “taxed the rich,” he not only balanced the budget but also funded free healthcare and transportation. NOT. A. SINGLE. WORD. OF. THAT. IS. TRUE. Yet we have these useful idiots all over social media constantly repeating these lies to push communism dressed up as “socialism that works.” As someone who grew up under communism, I would jail these people either for being stupid or for working on behalf of the communists.

No, Tucker Carlson, socialism is NOT Christian. There's no such thing as "non-authoritarian" socialism. Socialism is antithetical to all Christian teaching because it places a dictatorial government in charge of everything and restricts our God-given freedom. Promoting socialism in the name of Christianity...how is this materially different than what the Left says and does? The Left constantly tries to manipulate people—particularly Christians—into supporting socialism and communism in the name of their Christianity.
