5 Myths About Socialism

(Vortex Youtube) 1. The Nordic countries are Socialist Nordic countries have free market systems; not government-controlled economies. Their high taxes lead to lavish social benefits. The Nordic nations are welfare states. Their governments do not interfere in business. 2. Socialists want to take away your property This myth confuses private property with personal property. When socialists talk about the abolition of private property, they are referring to the socialization of the means of production—the resources and equipment that create wealth. Working people do not own this type of property—which is why we have to work to survive. Right now, the wealth of the 1,000 billionaires is equal to that of the 3.5 billion poorest people on the planet. To provide everyone with more, that wealth must be redistributed into various welfare programs. 3.

No, you have only known his "motivational quotes"  The 1930s and 40s were the time labour unions gained their ground all over the world and American industrialists and politici...

Why do I Keep saying free press is a myth!

  After leaving The Washington Post in 1977, Carl Bernstein spent six months looking at the relationship between the CIA and the press during the Cold War years. This post is excerpted from his 25,000-word cover story, published in Rolling Stone on October 20, 1977. In 1953, Joseph Alsop, one of America’s leading syndicated columnists, went to the Philippines to cover an election. Alsop did not go because he was asked to do so by the newspapers that printed his column. He went at the request of the CIA! Alsop is one of more than 400+ American journalists who in the past twenty‑five years have secretly carried out assignments for the Central Intelligence Agency, according to declassified documents of CIA. Some of these journalists’ relationships with the Agency were underground; some were explicit. There was cooperation, accommodation and overlap. Journalists provided a full range of clandestine services—from simple intelligence gathering to serving as go‑betweens with spies in Soc...
