    Because it is capitalist in nature but not runaway capitalism.

    See the quote from the DSA website below. It states that in the "short term" they can't eliminate private corporations which implies that the long term goal is to eliminate private corporations. In other words their goal is the same as any other socialist system they just plan to implement it slower.

    From what it sounds like...if you're anti-capitalist then, yeah it's probably your bowl of ice cream.

    Why are you still here. Didn't you say that you were busy that's why you couldn't respond to any posts in the Impeachment thread. Or is that just an excuse because all you do is make drive-by posts on this forum.

    This forum is called Debate & Discussion, if you aren't willing to debate, or discuss, don't post at all.

    This doesn't really deserve a response since you are just being an intentional ******* but I will give it one anyway. When people go out of town they usually return. I got back yesterday morning. I know that may be a hard concept for someone like you to figure out but some people have a life outside of this forum. The post I made in the other thread that you have you panties in a wad about was not a response to you and was not really debatable. If you do not like my post then please add me to your ignore list.

    I'm sure they loved having the depression extended by socialist tinkering instead of just letting the economy correct itself. Sounds like a great time.

    You really don't know your history, do you? Yikes. Best of luck should you try and do some actual research.

    Meaning that they plan to ruin the economy...only ruin it slower.

    Sounds legit to me

    We know that blue states contribute more than Red states. We know that Red states get more in govt. aid than Blue states. So which people is your 'ironic' poster referring to?
