“America Will Never Be A Socialist Country”.
“We Were Born Free And We Will Stay Free”.

Liar, liar, pants on fire.
Just two of over eight thousand, according to the WAPO, and these may not be considered, as they are opinions.
Just because a person can label something other than what it is, doesn’t make it so.

1 socialism
noun
so·cial·ism
\ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm\
: a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies
.
Full Definition
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.
.
*Consider the military industrial complex as a root program, feeding intentionally and unintentionally other industries for the simple sake of keeping many people employed / enslaved.
In general knowing that most weapons built, will never be used (on the positive side, it reflects we are evolving) yet, blind eyes are turned because in the grand scheme of things, it provides jobs.
“People don’t want anything near ‘em… except military bases. They don’t mind that do they? They like that. Give ‘em an army base, give ‘em a navy base, makes ‘em happy, why? Jobs! Jobs! Self-interest! Even if the base is loaded with nuclear weapons, THEY DON’T GIVE A #UCK!!!
They say “well, I’ll take a little radiation if I can get a job!” Working people have been #ucked over so long in this country, those are the kind of decisions they’re left to make.”
– George Carlin
Plus, it trickles down to other economies that would appear to be separate from it.
The person(s) getting paid to build a destroyer, wants to build a house. Needs to hire an architect, a contractor, get a loan from a bank. Etc., etc., etc
“Defense” cleverly disguised as socialism
To the tune of 700 plus billion a year for “seed” money.
2a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
There is no “private” property, the banks are holding the leases and the banks are controlled/regulated by the government and doled out and around by the International monetary fund.
Besides no matter what a person might think that they “own”, it is an illusion of cliché proportions.
There are no U-haul’s behind a hearse. You can not take it with you and whoever dies with the most “toys” is dead.
b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
* See above.
.
3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

A clever bean counter, a hedge fund manager, or currency manipulator are not productive members of society.
Not saying some good may not come out of their actions but it is a perpetual roll of the dice that they could gamble any one’s business or a country’s economy into the poor house.
“Sky scraper buildings
Corporate corridor, office suite
Executive board, high finance
Big businessman suit
Not stained by sweat or blood
Using money like perfume water
Sophistication smiles
Hide stain and decay
Realistic decisions
In columns and ledgers
Dividing profits among themselves
Spoils of war are spoils of war
Says Junk Man owner of the junk
Grafitti Man’s got something to say
Message in a scrawl message on the wall
Down with bosses
No more bosses
Something’s gotta change
Something’s gotta change”
– John Trudell
Farms subsidized because of an inept foreign trade policy is socialism
State laws requiring you to pay a partial premium to cover “uninsured motorists” is socialism
Paying to have your trash removed, which too often ends up on garbage barges, then dumped into the ocean is met with society paying to clean up the ocean, is socialism.
Not to mention it is our insatiable need to feel good about ourselves that we consume as much material products in the first place.
Thinking that if we buy the latest gizmo that is newer, shinier, faster, softer, harder, has an extra bell or whistle, then we’ll be complete.
Driven by a treadmill like news cycle that reaches the negativity of armageddon type proportions, creating a “live like there is no tomorrow” entropic attitude.
“Open spaces in shopping center walls
Middle class man middle class land
Clean enough to be a family affair
Nice place to take wide eyed child
Controlled climate temperate zones
Neat little shops all laid out
Everything by sale
By cash or plastic
Price not negotiable but payment is
Different junk man different junk
Spend some money buy some more
Grafitti Man’s got something to say
Message in a scrawl message on the wall
Put on blinders
Dull the senses
Who’s worth more than money they spend?”

“We Were Born Free And We Will Stay Free”
– 45 SOTU Speech
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
“Freedom
Freedom is the measurable distance, between you and your watch, wallet, phone & keys.”
– me
Unless you can, at will, transform yourself into the ether, enter and exit other dimensions, pass through liquids or solids at the drop of a hat, you are not free.
You are bound and shackled, first by gravity, oxygen and sunlight. That is just on nature’s end.
“It’s not a free country. You’re born free…
I mean, you are born absolutely free, except for the laws of nature. If you drink, you get drunk. That’s a law. If you get old, you die. That’s a law too. If you sit on a tack, you will bleed from the ass.”
“These are the only laws they that you’re born with. And any kind of government just #ucks you out of that type of freedom.”
– Doug Stanhope

Get into the man made systems and you may as well be lying in an Iron Maiden, waiting (and / or hoping) for the lid to close.
.
If you really think you’re free tonight… You, hero! Officer Bob, you’re a free man! You live in a free country!
You go upstairs… You take your own beer you risked your life for… You sit on the hood of your monster truck in a parking lot… Drink your beer. And see how long it is before actual veteran cops come by and pound on you with trudgeons on the kidneys, to show… “Why can’t I do it? I’m just having a beer.” “I don’t know.”
That’s the law, you don’t #uck around.” You can’t drive down the street without a seatbelt on, why not? Or you gotta put on a helmet.
You can’t sit in your own backyard naked, your own filthy dirty flesh that you’re born with. You know that body you carry around? “Filthy! You can’t sit out… Why not? I don’t know, that’s just the way it is. You’re not free.
You’re not free in the least. You need a dipoma in this country, to cut hair. Are you free? You need to keep your tray in an up right and locked position during take-off. That’s not just a hack premise, it’s a #ucking felony.

“Why do I have to have…? This doesn’t make sense.”
They say if you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish….
…….Then he’s gotta get a fishing license, but he doesn’t have any money.
So he’s got to get a job, and get into the Social Security system and pay taxes, and now you’re gonna audit the poor c*#@$ucker, ’cause he’s not really good with math.
He’ll pull the IRS van up to your house, and he’ll take all your shit. He’ll take your black velvet Elvis and your Batman toothbrush, and your penis pump, and that all goes up for auction with the burden of proof on you, because you forgot to carry the one, ’cause you were just worried about…….. eating a #ucking fish, and you couldn’t even cook the fish ’cause you needed a permit for an open flame.
Then the Health Department is going to start asking you a lot of questions, about where are you going to dump the scales and the guts. ‘This is not a sanitary environment’,
And ladies and gentlemen if you get sick of it all, at the end of the day… not even legal to kill yourself in this country.
Thanks again, John Ashcroft, you weird bible addict, can’t even handle his own drug. You were born free, you got fucked out of half of it, and you wave a flag celebrating it.
The only true freedom you find, is when you realize and come to terms with the fact that you are completely and unapologetically #ucked, and then you are free to float around the system.”
– Doug Stanhope
Speaking of Iron Maiden
“The Prisoner”
We want information
Information
Information
Who are you?
The new number 2
Who is number 1?
You are number 6
I am not a number! I am a free man!
[Laughter]
I’m on the run, I kill to eat
I’m starving now, feeling dead on my feet
Going all the way, I’m natures beast
Do what I want and do as I please
Run – Fight – To breathe – It’s tough
Now you see me now you don’t
Break the walls I’m coming out
Not a prisoner I’m a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don’t care where the past was
I know where I’m going …out!
If you kill me it’s self defense
And if I kill ya’ then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye I will defy
You’ll be afraid when I call out your name
Run – Fight – To breathe –
It’s gonna be tough
Now you see me now you don’t
Break the walls I’m coming out
Not a prisoner I’m a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don’t care where the past was
I know where I’m going
I’m not a number I’m a free man
Live my life where I want to
You’d better scratch me
From your black book
Cause’ I’ll run rings around you
Want to test your freedom? Next time you are at a “sporting” event, that uselessly (for no intrinsic reason) plays the national anthem. Stand like a statue, with your hand over the heart arm, raised and “flipping the bird” (finger “swearing” oooooh) towards the flag.
See how long it takes some thick neck, arm swinging, red “MAGA” hat wearing, insecure about the size of his flag pole dude to come by and rearrange your version of freedom to his. Whilst keeping this in mind.
