Germany and the Scandinavian countries are capitalist societies with market economies. Capitalism is what pays for the generous welfare payments that attract the third world refugees.

He's managed to get wealthy without ever having a real job, got kicked out of a commune for being too lazy, even for a bunch of hippies, and never accomplished anything during his long career in politics, yet he decries the success of people who built things and worked hard to get what they have . He is the prototypical socialist leader like Maduro, Castro, and every other one of the totalitarian assholes. He's central casting's Democrat leader. The only thing missing is he didn't sleep with the right people to get his advantages, but that wasn't really an option for him. Instead, he used his political position to provide the happy endings.bagoh20https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915174575358413637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-30614934275396892152019-03-10T20:52:55.146-05:002019-03-10T20:52:55.146-05:00Big Mike said...

But that’s okay, because according to Harris, we “know” that human nature is “easy to change.”<br /><br />Kamala-Supporter-of-Socialism needs explain what she means by saying "easy to change" since she put thousands in prison for their behavior. If behavior is "easy to change", she should have changed it rather than letting crime rage on and putting people in crowded basty prisons for avoidable conduct.<br /><br />But, maybe, she would say that new research, not available to her when she was the DA has shown that behavior is easy to change. <br /><br />New research by a certain group of behavior geneticists suggests that human behavior is genetically based but changeable because genetics causes behavior differences by chemical differences. Change the chemistry and bam!, "nature" changes. In short, drugs. This type of "behavior change" is the new eugenics I'm always bringing up. Socialism of an American or national type and eugenics, national socialism and eugenics, hmmm, will that really be easy? Is that what she means?<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /> wildswanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975129877750876072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-49110722645583305862019-03-10T20:25:15.721-05:002019-03-10T20:25:15.721-05:00Kamala Harris explained the one simple step needed...Kamala Harris explained the one simple step needed to make socialism work: change human nature.
