Many Americans Are Scared of Socialism

That's why I propose we rename it "Compassionate Capitalism"

Essentially it will be socialism, of course, and incorporate ideals such as income caps, wealth redistribution, free college/mortgage, and big government. However, when we push our agenda we can simply refer to it as Compassionate Capitalism.

The average, dumb tea bagger or American won't get scared anymore when we mention it....or even know the difference!

Thoughts/ideas/suggestions?

You are correct that as Progressives we must eschew accurate terms such as socialism, collectivism or Marxism because those wonderful theories have been so unfairly maligned in the minds of "independents" by the Tea-Party Terrorists, but it's a mistake to call it "CapitAlism." Instead, we must call it what it is: "CapitOlism" using Crony CapitAlism for the long march to utopian collectivism. That's why we must continue endorsing the pro-CapitOlism slogans being chanted by my civilian national-security force known as Occupy Wall Street.

Comrades,

We must examine the past carefully, just because it has failed everywhere it has been tried,
there is no real reason to believe it won't succeed here.

Have you not heard of “American Exceptionalism”? Carry-on!

Colonel: Could that be a mistaken appla... nevermind!

The word 'Capitalism' is always offensive to all of us Scientific Socialists.

We may be the champions of name games and political correctness, but some things are sacred to us, one of them being the word SOCIALISM and the other being the topic of hero worship.

If you have a friend who cringes at the word, perhaps suggest 'Social Justice'
(only Rethuglicans have figured out that one).

If all else fails, never give away your position but rather attack the other side, by saying "'Unfettered Capitalism' is what has caused this present Economic Crisis in the first place."

Learn from the Pros at CNN and other media outlets, they always push the envelope, and they never seem to paint themselves to a corner.

On the other hand, we all know that capitalism has been fettered by us a long time ago. But using the words 'Fettered Capitalism is inadvisable, for it contains too many negative connotations.

The Party has been lucky that no one has figured out the expression "Unfettered Socialism." That would have been bad.

Playing with people's minds has been our most effective weapon so far. The mind is nothing but a social construct, subject to conditioning. We condition it with words. Thinking is done with words. By changing words, we change the thinking. That's what CHANGE is all about!

In an ideal world (we all know what that means) the Party speaks for the masses, which means it also does the thinking for the masses. But as long as some individuals in our ranks are still prone to occasional individual thinking, we have the power to fix their thinking as described above.

We have already changed and implanted a few words into the mainstream public discourse.

Take "Justice." Economic Justice = Economic Equality = Equal Outcomes = Redistribution of Wealth. Therefore Justice = Redistribution.

"Workers' Party" also sounds just as scary today as "Socialism." The Nazis were a "Workers' Party," the Iraqi and Syrian BAATH parties are also "Workers' Parties," and, of course, the Bolsheviks were a "Workers' Party," building a "Workers' Paradise" (prior to being Communist Party (before the Revolution) they were RSDRP - Russian Social-Democratic Workers' Party).

But change it to "Working Families Party" and you've got a whole new ring to it. Who would argue with a working family? Conservatives always talk about families and family values - so here you go. That makes Working Families Party appear as if they represent just about anyone in this country: WE ARE 99%!!!

Examples are plenty. Let's think of how we can change even more existing words and expressions.

Let's think of proverbs.

Comrade General Confusion has recently suggested to change the old capitalist proverb the early bird gets the worm that was unfair to worms. It reflected the outmoded bigoted discrimination and victimization of the entire species.

Instead, he proposed this: the early worm gets the bird.

This is the most brilliant allegory of Social Justice as we mean it. The current generation of birds (and their offspring) must bear the collective burden of guilt and sacrifice for the historical injustice inflicted on worms of the past.

Taking it further, we can talk of a criminal global conspiracy of birds of all feathers, whose goal was further to oppress the worms and keep them powerless and alienated. In part, they did it with proverbs like the one in question. Whoever invented it, did it on purpose, in order to reinforce the elevated ruling position of the birds and to encourage them to wreck the lives of the oppressed worms and their working families, so that there would never be the light in the end of their tunnel.

This is changing. The PC way of looking at it is to encourage worms to fly high and wreck the lives of birds who are now being forced by our social conditioning, to stay low under the weight of the unbearable guilt, and to crawl and dig holes in the earth instead.

What? Are you telling me that worms can never fly? Nonsense. With Mass Media and Hollywood at our disposal, we can easily convince the world that worms can fly. Already now we can show examples of perfectly flying worms in the manner of Superman - now wings attached. All hail Superworm!

Repeat after me: the early worm gets the bird!


Nazi = National Socialism

Socialists like to pin the fascist label on moderates, conservatives, gypsies, hard-bargaining Jewish street vendors and anyone else who gives them a problem.

Standing in front of the Democrat Plantation, the Flea Bags look like a trashy crew ready for a hosing down and a bar of soap........ right after the flea dip.

Do as Herman Cain did. Leave the Democrat Plantation, brothers!

Komrade Phobianov,

If you do not wish for a knock on the door at three in the morning, followed by a really long train ride to an undisclosed location past the Urals, you might want to do the following:

When posting your anti-socialist , non- enlightened ravings, click on " editor for the rich ", then " people's karacters " and select the " Prog-Off " icon to begin you post.

This " progressive-off " will protect you from .... shall we say..... future unpleasantries.

Otherwise, someone looking in might feel a need to contact the DHS or AttackWatch.com

As our Cube Leader, Red Square says : " You are being watched closely.... very closely "

Have a nice day !

Fabricator of Truth

Aha! So that is what those Wall Streeters mean when they say economic justice

Our weak friends the Democrats sold out and joined our evil enemies the Rethuglikans in repealing Glass-Steagall. Almost everyone in Amerikan government saw campaign donations coming in from the commercial banks that wanted to act like hedge funds and the investment banks that wanted to merge with commercial banks that can tap the Fed and offer FDIC insured deposits. No one looked out for the people. No one was a socialist after the first two years of Clinton's glorious reign. Everyone sold us out. We are very fortunate that the crony capitalist investment banks became too big to fail and had to be bailed out. Where would we be without all this failure and bail out?

Now we must seize this opportunity, suspend the constitution and install only true believers in socialism. No more tea baggers. No more rethuglikans. No more blue dog demoncrats. Only true socialists and communists. When we seize power, we won't need to worry about the minor details like certain people not liking the word socialsim. We will install true communism and a utopia that can't be criticized or resisted.

I glanced at the image of you in your icon, saluting us with your vodka flask in-hand.......

And then it occurred to me that Dear Leader might very well have been saluting us as well,
in his own special style.

Of course, Americans are scared of Socialism. That's why "In the Best Interest of the Child" is the banner of Children's "Protective" Services (CPS).

That sounds a lot better, doesn't it?

America's families have been neck deep in socialism ever since the CAPTA act of 1974.

But everybody thinks it's a wonderful idea (except those who get run through the meatgrinder). Because after all, WHO ISN'T for "
The best interest of the child"?

And nobody knows (or cares) what is going on in the unconstitutional courts of NO Due Process that deals with CPS cases.

People who don't believe CPS is communist can refer to the Communist Manifesto for enlightenment.

Komrade Krasno, Dear leader is in fact rendering honors to the citizens of this nation.
<off> when you get to be about 50 and your doctor bends you over the table and uses that phrase, or you take your first shower in prison--it will be clear. Until then, enjoy your innocence.

<on> yes comrades, Dear Leader has something special for each of us...

@ReEducated: This is brilliant and must be a major part of our WTF 2012 strategy. Big Guy has authorized me to offer you the position of Re-Wording Czar. It does not pay anything other than the satisfaction that comes with moving our message forward, and it actually costs very little (just a nominal contribution to Organizing for Obama 2012).

Tweet me when you are ready for your swearing in.

We are on correct path now comrades.

Interesting concept, just rearrange a few words and the unwashed masses won't know the difference.

Global Warming when it is cold is Climate Change.

Employee Free Choice Act means some guys named Lefty and Vito come knocking on your door for your freely chosen union election decision.

Pro Life means Anti-Choice.

However, the Teabagging KKKapitalists at the AZ State Fair has already figured out how to manipulate the proles and deal with the imminent food shortages that are about to occur as a result of their greed.

Just fry some of these critters up and smother with some yummy cheese, then instead of selling for 3 bucks ... mark it up to $7 and then they will think it's gotta be good since it is so expensive.

Why use only word play, real things can appear to be things they are not as well.

Bon Appetite
