Hmmm, if I thought socialism was real this would actually tempt me to become a socialist. Apparently according to this I could be subsidized, represented by the government, and have things people in other countries can only dream about. Good thing I know better, that socialism doesn't actually exist.

You haven't convinced me of your view yet ;) And yes,it would tempt you to become a socialist until you realize nothing is free and someone pays. Which still wouldn't bother you until it bankrupts the country. Like it has in other socialist countries.

Walk me through how "socialism" is in fact a ponzi scheme.

Because socialism isn't real, the people at the top promise them socialism, or communism, or democracy, or whatever sounds nice at the time, basically an equitable and prosperous utopia, but it never actually happens. The only thing that happens is the guys at the top get a whole lot of money and privilege.

What do you mean it isn't real?
Can you explain? I don't understand.
Why do you say it isn't real?

I believe it is real.

True,I guess from that point of view you'd be right. They never are able to make good on their promises.Whatever you call it,its a failed system.

Because it has never been and probably can never be realized. It's just a con game for the more cunning to take advantage of the less cunning.

Right now you're getting it. Though I wouldn't even call it a failed system, because for it to fail it would have to exist to begin with. I don't think it's real begin with, I think it's just a façade for another system, a Ponzi scheme.

Oh all over the place. Plenty of countries in the present day and recent past claim to be socialist, communist, democracy, whatever they want to call themselves. But they never actually realize the façade that they claim, because the façade is just that, it's a façade.

Hmm I would have thought that keeping with the flow of the list that logically #7 would be that all the other countries are trying to be more like America.

On the contrary, liberals are trying to make America like socialist Europe.
