The Political Correlation Between the US and UK...

'Kin hell, yes it's Tucker 'Frat Boy' Carlson I'm using, but it's Mark Blyth that's the draw...



We should be asking; what's the common denominator in the correlation...?

Socialism is trendy, popular and easy to press on social media. Doesn't make it happen at the ballots.

"Socialism" is a reaction to seeing capitalism take the p*ss for the longest time.

Greed is what's making "socialism" popular.

It is "easy to press on social media" because you talk directly to people rather than having opinionated media already having things decided for you.

So, yeah, I guess that makes it "trendy".

Both sides of the Pond are seeing and feeling this.

Very interesting, but turning to pure socialism will make their lives a thousand times worse because it hasn't
worked, and doesn't work.
Anywhere.

It depends on your definition of socialism. For Fox News, not leaving people to die in a hotel corridor because they can't afford medical insurance is socialism. They use is as a scare tactic, when in reality, there's no-one in America who's arguing to nationalize Apple and Google, which would be what would happen under full socialism.

Anthopologist amd archeologist have concluded that the human race began as pure socialist (egalitarian) groups that only changed awhen agricultural advancement meant larger communities, which has long been recognised that when a population grows in a group to a larger size will become.less social and more hierarchy/class based.
Once land ownership and division from a shared labour and co-operative groups to an owner/worker worker relationship happened societies changed.
Also sparta did ok and that is considered to have been a society that used an early form of socialism and egalitarianism.

A socialist state hasn't really ever existed no matter what a government calls itself, socialist communities however do exist and have thrived.

Until the human race learns to not obsess about possesing things, and having ownership over land and resources and learns to share the earth equally with itself, for the bettterment of the planet and it's inhabitants socialism won't happen,

What Americans think of as Socialism is British Liberalism! The hardest part of having these discussions is that American politics is so right of center that any discussion of socialism makes Americans IMMEDIATELY mention Venezuela.

Take an American, say “Socialism” and watch them reflexively salivate and start twitching.

And, it’s a joke to even mention the name Tucker Carlson and ANYTHING related to reasonable political discussion, because they are incongruent.

Nothing to do with my definition, or Fox news, and if socialism were implemented, many, many more would be
dying all over the country, let alone corridors.
