Socialist CEOs or Capitalist CEOs: Which is worse?

[Andy]

I think that you don't understand the term 'national socialism'.

National socialists are more familiarly known as Nazis

This neither addresses the points made, nor is important in any way.

If you said we had a Maoist form of socialism, it still murdered thousands of people and left nearly 2/3rds of the nation earning around a $1 a day.

If you said we had a Stalinist form of socialism, it still enslaved millions in gulags and had hundreds subjected to torture and 'show trials' that resulted in false executions and life imprisonment.

If you said we had a Castro form of socialism, it still resulted in people enslaved by the government, living in enforced poverty, and willing to die to swim to America.

So, it doesn't matter a hill of beans to me which type you wish to liken our brand of socialism to. Each and every one fails. Each and every one is against freedom. Each and every one will cause harm and damage.

So, have fun with your ideological label maker. It changes not my point or perspective that it sucks, and need to be eliminated and fought against at every turn.

What the American government is practising now is called theft.

It is taking around $5000 from everyone who is working and one third of these earn less than $16,000 per year.

That is roughly one third of their income.

That's another damned lie, but what can you expect from a Socialist/Communist Brit.

The same tax is being taken off the bankers responseible many of who will be earning millions of dollars p.a.

Those bankers will go on to make millions more and the poor bastards who have lost a third of their income will never get it back.

This is not socialism.

It is national socialism

And not only is he/she/it a Socialist/Communist Brit, but he/she/it is a stupid Socialist/Communist Brit who doesn't even know what he's talking about when it comes to Socialism, much less National Socialism, because N.S. renounces capitalism, which contradicts his very assertion.

I was thinking that... I couldn't find anything in "national socialism" that was remotely capitalistic, thus defeating his point from a 'logical' perspective. But then I didn't think he'd get the idea.
