One of Socialism's big pushes/claims is 'from each according to their ability, to each according to their need.' It tends to push claims that you need government involvement in ensuring that basic needs are met. Enough food to live on is an extremely basic need. Whether decent food is...

First off, posts have gotten moved from thread to thread. I guess you didn't notice, but whatever study you linked earlier (I think the one about 'food insecurity') is not on this thread. I don't know which thread it's on now, so I asked you to provide the link again, because I assume you still...

Give me the link to your study. It's not on this thread. Other people addressed it at the time, but I'll go ahead and address it too. To counter your image there: 1. Preference for different types of learning increases the ease of learning, not makes it possible or impossible altogether. I'm...

No. The burden of proof is on you, not me. You have asserted something very extreme, that statistically significant portions of the population are incapable of learning to perform basic tasks. I have asserted that all except for those who are seriously disabled are capable of performing that...

Again, while there is a tiny sliver of people for whom what you're saying is true, the vast majority of people are not mentally disabled and unable to learn from watching, reading, and then trying it for themselves until they get it right. Bear? Stop infantilizing poor people. It's...

1. As mentioned, banning abortion. 2. Ending gun control laws. 3. Getting taxes cut back down to, at a minimum, Reagan-era levels. That one is more 'around' my birth than before it. 4. Ending China's favored status as a trading partner. 5. Securing the border. 6. Requiring photo ID to vote. 7...

On an individual, yes. On the aggregate level, it's actually the other way around. If there's say, one million people in this country horribly abusing the system as power-brokers and the like, each of those million is far more worthy of blame than each individual among the other 300 million...

Not at all. I tend to study ideas more than those who purvey them, though some of the bigger names I'm familiar with.

That really depends on how you define 'reactionaries.' The definition I'm most familiar with, is 'anti-communists.'

Socialism offers several extremely appealing concepts. "Your problems are other people's fault." "The ills of society at large are other peoples fault." "The solution to your problems is not you working your ass off to improve your circumstances, it's overthrowing The Man that is keeping you...
