All of your money, your work, even your family, technically belongs to the state because only the state – enter the ruling class i.e politicians – can equitably distribute it. They know what’s fair, and if you disagree or fail to toe the line you will be shouted down because you’re just greedy and bigoted, and have privilege, oh and on top of that, you hate poor people. You're also a fascist, even though that’s kind of the same thing as socialism. Doesn’t matter, fascist pig!

Police and fire departments (for the most part) are a local system, which is highly consistent with liberty and federalism. It works best when locals are making their own decisions for their own unique conditions – ie, self-governance as opposed to central planners. Another way to rationalize it is; as a citizen in America, you are one of about 320 million people. One vote in over three hundred million. In terms of representation, your vote is very, very insignificant. So why on earth would you want to relinquish important decisions – the very ones that directly affect your life? – to an inherently centralized government that you have such little say in? Do you want a team of faceless bureaucrats 25 states over deciding what kind of fire engines your town needs? Or what kind of healthcare you should have? The type of Policing and tactics used in such? What kind of car you should drive? How your kid’s school is going to be run? Hell no! You want those decisions to be made by you. If they must be made by government, you want them discussed 1 mile from your house at a table made up of your friends and neighbors, and fellow citizens, so just in case "they" do something stupid, you have direct access to them, and the idiocy enabled by those in charge!


Oh, and yes Iron Man Comic Books are always the primary subject!

Well Stated Sir

It’s baffling to me on so many levels

What's baffling? People like signatures from their favorite creators. You don't have to prefer it to a clean cover but not being able to understand it just implies you're a solipsist which would explain the next part:

You've clearly not read anything from a socialist, or any other serious leftist so just stop right there and don't embarrass yourself further. I also doubt seriously you've even taken the time to read something of actual merit within your own spectrum of belief. If there's one thing that defines the right these days it's laziness and fear of the 'other.'

Hmmmm, is that so genius please, elucidate me as to the merits of Socialism AND communism (which are brothers) as where exactly I’m wrong

Why would I bother spoon feeding you a lesson you're clearly not interested in? It's the exact definition of laziness I accused you of.

But do feel free to impress me with all the leftist figureheads you actually invested the time to read and understand that led to the stupidity that was your diatribe. Or hell - like I said - I'll even accept the figureheads you've read in your own spectrum of belief. Your views are as credible as the effort you put into them - and right now that's none.

The fact you have to ask this question exposes your complete ignorance (aside from the laziness I already accused you of) of the contributions of the left throughout history. But you're in Arizona where you're about to vote for a racist sheriff (that faked his own assassination attempt by framing a 18yr old kid in order to win re-election) to the Senate so I shouldn't be surprised.
