As a non-American I have to say that it's surprising how dirty the word seems to most Americans. Maybe because most Americans have no clue what it's like to live in socialist country. I bet when they think of a socialist country they never think of somewhere like Germany.

Oh, sure we do..it;s just that a significant portion of us don;t see the socialist influence in our own government and country. Ironic, seeing as how that same portion bitches to heaven about all of the ways we're becoming socialists.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You've really stretched the meaning of socialist if you are going to call Germany a socialist country. ![[Image: dcep7c.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i46.tinypic.com%2Fdcep7c.jpg)

Savings are an interesting thing in a capitalist framework. The worst thing you can do with a dollar is hold it. It;s value decreases with every passing day..and must, or the system fails.

I know nothing of economics but when it comes to social issues as I'm as leftist as any cunt could get.
And that means I do NOT wish to censor anyone. I think the SJW 'left' is socially right because they're authoritarian. Regardless of where they stand economically or how liberal they CLAIM to be.

A testament to the effectiveness of stratospheric right-leaning propaganda. Whats more left leaning than social justice..or insisting that people stop referring to others with racial slurs...or, you know, just calling the lady a lady?

I think that speaks more to the wishes of the poor than anything...ofc it;s false, but poor people want it to be true. The horatio alger myth in full swing.
