PSA - Corporate Socialism is Out

No.

Socialism is needed for our most trusted assets like healthcare and infrastructure.

Capitalism, if left to die when it fails, is perfect for everything else.

I agree. Socialize society's needs and let capitalism take care of the wants. The problem is always "The jobs!" when the big corporations start laying everyone off. It is a powerful tool for those businesses because the government takes the blame for job losses and for the corporation's decisions that lead to their failure. We need to re-tool what it means to be a corporation in this country.

While I agree in sentiment, practicality might say differently. This would be an easier argument to agree with if Canada and its provinces still had (more) Crown corp's so they had an income source to provide for this socialism everyone now seems to want or be ok with. As it stands right now, I dont see many ways to afford for the people of this Country without some or more of the shady and seedy background globalist deals where we and your future generations are one of the commodities on the table in exchange for some child like freeloader lifestyle because two generations of kids became used to trantrums, time outs and safe spaces and now expect similar shit given to them from life.

Socialism is a day dream.

And capitalism is the nightmare..

Slowly, cautiously, the deficit hawks are daring to come out of the shadows.

These are the well-heeled folks, from conservative think-tanks and political circles, who for decades have successfully pushed governments to impose austerity and social spending cuts on the rest of us, in the name of keeping government deficits small.

With the country reeling from the devastating economic shutdown caused by the coronavirus, these usually cocky deficit hawks haven’t yet mustered the nerve to come out fully against what is proving to be immensely popular with the public — a dramatic ramping up of Ottawa’s spending to shield Canadians from financial despair.

But, led by former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the deficit-slaying crowd is starting to re-emerge, determined that the pandemic doesn’t become the transformative event that could spell the end of the deeply unequal, corporate-dominated economic world they’ve diligently constructed in recent decades.

It’s not possible to trace and catalog the impenetrably tangled complex of historical decisions and choices that, in aggregate, over time, led to the critical, perhaps fatal, condition in which we are enmeshed and imprisoned today, but that’s not required. What is required is a species of miracle. One that only occurs when mankind makes a quantum cognitive leap from one universal, absolute, and ruling dogma to a wiser, sounder paradigm.

The leap that must be made, and against which the odds are astronomical, is from the petrified religion of Capitalism to a life-centered, life-preserving economic system. If this transition is not made and Capitalism is allowed to continue its mindless, murderous assault on all life it will destroy the natural world, including the human race. That all humanity is not afire with passion to demand this leap be made is due entirely to the managed ignorance and policed impotence of The People perpetuated by the Capitalist Tyranny.

Does that website ever do anything but whine and throw words around?  What is their roadmap to human happiness?  Ending capitalism is not a plan.

Ending capitalism is the roadmap for people who have zero idea of how things work.

That said the people who are scared of the word socialism are just as dumb.
