"but sought to eliminate the autonomy of large-scale capitalism by consolidating power with the state" Sounds like regulation to me. Effectively socialism. If not shared ownership, make the owners obey your demands. Same effect.
There's an implicit contract between hired person and the government in your hypothetical. The worker can refuse the job. He doesn't have to stop being a construction worker.
Thank you. And I fear you maybe correct, the more burden that is added the less likely you will see the return.
No it's not...I've been stamped as a communist, a democrat, all kinds of things and mags vehement hatred of socialism begs the question..he answered it by the way and I commend him for his answer..it wasn't directed at you. I'm taking mine for the same reason you took yours but I did not milk my VA benefits for my own reasons..not that it's a bad thing to do. What I attempt here is to crumble away at the definitions that draw these lines in the sand.
Here's where you lost me in this group... "Fascists and Nazis, however, support a type of hierarchical individualism in the form of Social Darwinism, as they believe it promotes "superior individuals" and weeds out "the weak".[187]"
I did not use my either although I signed up. But Obama forced my hand, his ACA eliminated my healthcare provided by my former employer by putting a tax on the employer providing the healthcare. We probably needed assistance to keep the employer to continue. but ... At least we could have sued when they dropped us, but no way after the ACA. Their legal options became continue providing the healthcare and pay a whopping tax or drop the retiree healthcare. No way to buy insurance like I had, just not available. So now I use the VA.
You do realize "Liberalism" means "Libertarianism," right? EDIT: Also, Progressivism is about "making things better," and they were a big part of the Eugenics movement in the early 1900s.
That one was there just for you DC. For the record I dont think Mags is a fascist either, but its fun throwing around terms with reckless accusatory abandon. Im warming up to this style of debate.
Welcome to the world of conservatism's challenges vs most liberals/progressives/democrats. Frustrating isn't it? See this is how they toss out racist, bigot, and all other slander technique they use to deflect debates and discussions. Finally, someone sees the elephant in the room. I was losing hope.
