It's incredibly racist and insulting to that particular person, but no one from the Left on this board will admit it. They prefer to do the troll thing.

how is it not? It's intrinsically socialist, regardless if legally authorized by the Cons ution...Military spending isn't a socialist endeavor
Our military spending has become a jobs program for hundreds of thousands of people. One of the most socialist things this country does is create artificial demand that allows Lockheed Martin to have 100k employees.
this is pretty rich for somebody that was first in line cheerleading for the tax cuts...
Jobs and pension.
Jobs and pension and healthcare.
"America takes care of its veterans. Grrr! Arghh!"
No one's saying it's a bad thing. It's just socialism.
You should consider the military, Chris. Get out from under the parents' roof, interact with real people, toughen up, make some money eventually... contribute something positive to your country? What do you have to lose?
Even if you take out the subcontracting (which would be pretty disingenuous, but still), it's a government program 100% taxpayer funded, for the well-being/security of the general population. In other words it's the 'security safety net' for every American.
It's a socialist endeavor to a T, IMO, the only part where capitalism comes in is when subcontractors make money out of the government contracts.
You should consider the viability of suicide.
How does 600 bases around the world and wars with goat herders help Americans (Trump was against those wars. Yes, Trump good now in that regard)? How does trillions spent on conventional weapons (which are an outdated national defense concept since the proliferation of nukes) help Americans? We even have a base in Saudi Arabia, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world
The great Ike warned about this .
Not arguing about any of that or the military industrial complex. The people who were losing their minds when Trump started pulling of Syria.How does 600 bases around the world and wars with goat herders help Americans (Trump was against those wars.

:: Do European allies pay U.S. $2.5 billion yearly to keep troops there?
:: Would it cost more to bring the troops home?
USA should have never found itself in this position but RIGHT NOW....do you really want those "trained killers" out on our streets and likely many of them unemployed? Over time they would fill the jobs immigrants are. Such a ridiculous predicament America has cornered itself in.
Loses a long battle after having won it for 25,000 jobs
"Incredibly, I have heard city and state elected officials who were opponents of the project claim that Amazon was getting $3 billion in government subsidies that could have been better spent on housing or transportation. This is either a blatant untruth or fundamental ignorance of basic math by a group of elected officials. The city and state 'gave' Amazon nothing. Amazon was to build their headquarters with union jobs and pay the city and state $27 billion in revenues. The city, through existing as-of-right tax credits, and the state through Excelsior Tax credits - a program approved by the same legislators railing against it - would provide up to $3 billion in tax relief, IF Amazon created the 25,000-40,000 jobs and thus generated $27 billion in revenue. You don't need to be the State's Budget Director to know that a nine to one return on your investment is a winner.

Trained killers?
You ever try to walk onto a military base? Socialist endeavors are community access endeavors like public parks and such. Tax and spend for the military is a signature of a conservative war machine that feeds private businesses, not socialism. The term "military industrial complex" is anything but socialism. The military doesn't control the means of production - their assets come from private industry. They do not distribute any goods, they have no product. You cannot hire the military, they will not work for or answer to the general public.
The plain and simple fact is AOC is a walking, talking Cluster .
That's ridiculous. Access to buildings has nothing to do with socialism. You couldn't walk into the KGB building in communist Russia either, yet nobody would doubt for a second to call it communism. You probably can't walk into Maduro's banana republic palace right now.
In addition, their assets come both from the private industry AND government. Los Alamos is not a private sector business, it's a government owned and funded lab. The first ever nukes were produced in it's entirety there. And you can ask Hiroshima and Nagasaki what that product looked like. Coming to more recent days, the NSA is well known for producing exploits (that were leaked a while back) to access adversary systems, in-house. That they don't sell them or distribute them, doesn't make it any less of a product.
That the government opts to subcontract a lot of the production doesn't turn all the system upside down into, suddenly, a capitalist system. A lot of the R&D some of these companies obtain to build those products were actually funded by the taxpayers (and, I did admit that there's a capitalist component in those transactions).
Let's see a basic definition of socialism:
A political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
The military is outright owned and regulated by our representatives, thus by extension, the community. They might not take direct orders from the general public, but they sure as heck take orders from the representatives the general public put in place, AND get paid from the general public's taxed monies.
Communism is the system that can't divorce the political from the economic side, that's not the case with socialism. That's why there's Social-Democracies all around the world, where social programs live next to capitalism and a democratic political system.
And lastly, if your contention holds true, then Medicare, Medicaid, Foodstamps, none of those are socialism either. They don't control the means of production. They don't distribute any good, or have a product. Under that premise, Medicare for all is not socialism?
You should consider the viability of our lord and savior, satan.
... who happens to be running rings around Trump party officials and conservatives on social media. What does it say about conservative politicians that they are getting pwned so hard by "a walking, talking Cluster ?
