AmericanThinker: Have you heard of the shocking and terrifying diaper gap that is now dividing this nation? It is said to be so dire that the White House is urging immediate government assistance to buy baby diapers. Philosophically, this puts disposable plastic consumer products in the category of inalienable rights guaranteed by the government: among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Diapers.
When I lived in the USSR, our Soviet Constitution also guaranteed that our basic needs be provided to us by the caring socialist government. As a result, most basic items were in shortage, let alone such luxury items as coffee or toilet paper. Needless to say, we never even heard of disposable diapers. For our three children, we used pieces of cloth which we washed regularly. We didn’t complain or feel disadvantaged because — I repeat — we had no idea there was such a thing as disposable diapers.

Socialists need capitalism so at least some people are making money they can steal.
Seeing as socialism is a parasitic doctrine, it makes sense.
Re-usable for these babies. Whenever I hear “They oughta_________________”, or “People should be able to ________________”, I know I’m speaking with a socialist..
Socialists also need capitalism as a scapegoat for the failures of central planning. That, and socialists are actually fascists…
“Where socialism sought totalitarian control of a society’s economic processes through direct state operation of the means of production, fascism sought that control indirectly, through domination of nominally private owners. Where socialism nationalized property explicitly, fascism did so implicitly, by requiring owners to use their property in the “national interest”…”

Yea, but the tattoo slap champion would disagree. You can not make an intelligent point to ignorant people. Feel the burn.
This is balderdash!
Socialists make the best products in the world!
Take bread, for instance. In socialist countries the bread is so good that people will stand in line for hours, even all day to get it. Do you see people doing that for capitalist bread?
No capitalist bread is inferior and not worth standing in line for.
“Fascism” is Italian socialism.
Simply a different complexion.
It is the socialist who try to muddle the understanding that there are really just 2 forms: Freedom v. Slavery
You are either free or you aren’t.
Reality is always a compromise between these two ends.
Socialism requires absolute servitude to the State – individual, social, economic, parental, educationally, basically – mind and body – or body and soul, if you will. Most of the socialists’ agenda comes from Socrates’s conception of the perfect “Republic” and the concomitant subjugation of the individual to the “Philosopher” Oligarchs who know so much better how to live than the masses of the unwashed.
Socialism is a LIE.
It is founded upon LIES and abject foolishness.
It is a doctrine of malevolence, violence, coercion, hatred, and theft.
The idea that men will willingly submit to the rule of the enlightened philosopher king is pretty absurd and the enlightened philosopher king must always resort to the might of his armed stooges and thugs to force otherwise free men to submit.
Nazi – National Socialist
Fascist – Italian Socialist
Original Russian Communist Party – Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party
Soviet – Russian Socialist
Maoist – Chinese Socialist
Sendero Luminoso – Peruvian Socialist
Democratic Socialist
Social Democrat
People’s Democratic Republic
Unionist
Syndicalist
Anarchist (Actual not Theoretical)
Democratic – American Socialist (Bolshevik)

“Socialism” is the common denominator and to try to deny that simple fact is to attempt to obfuscate what should be taught in every school in America.
America is an Island of Light in a Dark Storming Sea of Ignorance, Hate, Despair, Envy, Pestilence, Slavery, and Death.
Or, at least it was till Obola …
@tim
brilliant!
Take some of the billions paid to cotton farmers in the form of subsidies and convert them into a cotton buy-back program. Pay some well-connected lobbyist to find an American company to weave the cotton into soft, compfy diaper material. Find another well-connected Gummint contractor to design an idiot-proof safety-pin to sell to the taxpayer for about $699.00 a pair. Then, contract with Planned Parenthood, local colleges and universities to hold “diapering seminars” supported by a 24-hour hotline and a dedicated YouTube channel. They can also use the seminars to register Democratic voters and exchange cash/drugs for EBT cards. Provide Gummint washers and dryers to clients under the program, installed and serviced (of course) by Federal appliance employees (organized by AFSCME, of course).
Twenty to 30 billion dollars, and the diaper problem is solved. For the next FY, anyway.
China is the textbook example of a government the uses Capitalism to finance Communism… and we all know Socialism is just a nicer sounding name for Communism.
Oleg Atbashian’s book Shakedown Socialism is a must-read. If a gay Broadway play critic was reviewing it, he would say “Important!” but in this case the book really is important.
I’m on Oleg’s ThePeoplesCube site as “JucheCouture”, formerly “Kim Jong Illin’ ” until the sonofabitch went and died on me. Fucker.
