So, I'm asking, would you rather live in a socialist state since that is the direction the Dems are guiding your country and economy.
but your question makes no sense. The establishment dems have an almost identical economic policy to the republicans.
Then why not vote Republican?
Even the most left wing elected officials in america are suggesting plans that would be centrist on other modern western countries (Canada, the UK etc). The idea that the dems are "socialist" for trying to do what other modern countries do is a false narrative.
As I said previously, the Dems are no longer moderates but leftists. They push Marxist ideology.
Canada and the UK are big government and marginally socialist. I am now living off the taxpayer since I am retired. I can go to jail in Canada if my speech is considered hate speech and singles out a minority indiscriminately, which is reasonable. But my religious freedom is also somewhat limited. Thus, my freedom to say what I want is limited just as yours is but in your case it is the extent to which one Party is manipulating and influencing, in your country. A conservative on a liberal college or university is in danger of not only being bullied verbally but also risks physical danger and even their life is threatened, so the sharing of ideas is only permitted where the ideas coincide with what these liberal (mostly Democrats) believe. Several right-wing lecturers have been prevented from sharing their message to the point that riots have taken place to prevent this. Nine of ten proffesors are leftist leaning and many are Marxist. Thus, anyone who gets an education is overly exposed to a one-sided indoctrination.
Congressional Record - Communist Goals (1963):
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
Their idea for power is open borders so that the USA is flooded by (no longer illegal) immigrants who will mostly vote Democrat so that the Dems will never again have to worry about losing the power they put above all else.
again, a false narrative. The Obama deported record numbers of people. The dems are just slightly less delusional. The republicans understand that the US desperately needs immigrants to fuel it's economy, but they pretend like they are "stealing jobs" or some nonsense. The democrats just don't play the xenophobic games the republicans do. But their policies are pretty much the same on a fundamental level.
False? The Dems oppose deportation. What was okay for Obama is not okay for Trump. Thus, the double standard. Not only this, the Dems has radically opposed any amendments, or deportations of illegal immigrants. Where are you getting your information from? (CNN - The Communist News Network)
It is a radical socialist revolution we are speaking of with the Democrat Party. Anyone who opposes this radicalism is opposed.
who exactly are these radical socialists? The democratic party is filled with economically right wing people. The furthest left people like AOC or Sanders would be considered centrist in places like Canada or the UK. So where exactly are you seeing "radical socialists"?
No, AOC or Sanders would not be considered centrists but extremists. Even we do not have free colleges and universities, unlimited health care, a society that most earn a living, and qualifications for those who need social assistance. We are pro-environment to a greater extent than you are, IMO, but our politicians have not to my knowledge promoted no oil, no fossil fuels, just a cutting down on them. And no one is asinine enough to push for the elimination of cows here in Canada that I've heard of.
The bigger the government "powers" and outreach the less freedom the citizens have.
this is also a false narritive. The idea that if the government is strong, then people have less freedom. When the government is weak you are just changing who has power over you. Instead of it being an elected official you have a say in selecting, it is now someone unelected who has the power to fuck with your life.
When the federal government is big and overreaching it takes away from the each state or province deciding what is best for its people and its particular environment. Thus, places with big populations get the attention while rural areas are overlooked and exploited.
In a democracy each person has a say in who gets elected. It is governance of, by, and for the people, not those elitests who rule (supposedly on your behalf). When government gets too big the government is no longer for the people but for special interests of those in power. They decide your fate to a greater and greater extent.
