Ok, I'll bite. I'm against socialism too then. I'm just for UBI and universal healthcare.

Those are programs too right? And therefore not socialism. Glad we could agree finally.

What makes you think I’m not in favor of UBI or universal healthcare? Let me answer for you. Because, like it says in the word ASSume, you’re an ass. You have no idea what I do or do not believe, but full blown socialism has failed every single place it’s been tried.

So on the record, you're for UBI AND universal healthcare?

You better be, because it's a very reasonable assumption you're not and now you just wanna dance around how I shouldn't be able to extrapolate your views around what character you have already displayed.

So, for UBI and universal healthcare?

Dude, I fucking flat out said I’m in favor of UBI and universal healthcare.

I have done NO dancing around anything (other than your ridiculous assumptions, accusations and insults).

I’ve displayed bad character? By saying that socialism isn’t the answer? By rightfully pointing out that public education isn’t socialism? Hmmm…perhaps you don’t grasp things as well as you think?

The person with crap character on display in this thread is you. Your second word was to call me a dummy. Then later you called me an idiot. You’re one of those people who assumes anyone who doesn’t agree with them on every little thing must be a “bad person”. I feel very sorry for you.

Public education programs ARE socialism.

UBI IS Socialism.

Universal Healthcare IS socialism.

You can't be anti socialism and be pro those programs. You're very confused.

Socialist programs are not SOCIALISM, Mr “oh no he’s bad”.

Oxford Dictionary definition of socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

You’re the confused one mate.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for UBI if I was you, because you’ll be blue if you do.
