What’s this I hear about NYC electing an openly socialist mayor?

Who cares? Jew York City is already a shithole

>>936253903 (OP)
the problem with socialism is that people like khrushchev weasled their way through instead of being executed.

socialism takes a lot of cleaning up from the top.
the party has to be purged, purged and purged again. without the party having clarity there can't be a socialist development.
being a leader means to accept the responsibility and the chance of getting shot when you are a revisionist.
actually read up on the capitalist restauration that began in the soviet union as early as the 50s after Stalin, if you have any brains you'd realize that this wasn't a communist leadership.
stalins problem was that he let the struggle calm down.
intensified class struggle, ideological, and within the party, had to be addressed and he has grown too old and comfortable.

but then again if you had any you wouldn't post retarded shit and think a liberal reformist doing some edgy larp would be a socialist or else he'd organize armed groups.

Contrary to popular belief, the market is not self-correcting or a force of nature. It is the sentiments of the richest 100 people on any given day.

I'd take a government that is, at least in theory, accountable to the people over the whims of billionaires any day. They are accountable to no one.

>>936258596
>They are accountable to no one
Just the consumers, and their shareholders, and the feds, and the FTC, and the SEC.

>>936258697
when the feds only exist to protect elite, do they really have to worry about the consumers?

>>936258697

Like hell, the only one on that list that are actually accountable to are the shareholders and they are still at the whims of the board members and CEO whims.

Sears ran themselves into the ground. Did you even shop there in the few years before its death? It's like they didn't want to sell you anything. And then who bought it, some property holdings company or someshit. What does it matter?

Dude, Mamdani says he wants to setup a city-run grocery chain. They are going to sell food below market value and not charge them rent or taxes or other fees. What happens to all the other stores? Now everyone has to pay higher taxes while everyone else goes out of business, meaning more job loss. There is no amount of leadership that can make socialism work.

When has govt run anything been equal or better than private? Plus grocery store margins are razor thin. Walmart makes money because it has 20,000 stores so they get a tiny better deal.

All those things (minus prisons) excel far greater than government when privatized or contracted to a private company.

So you've never been to a Sears. Got it. Also britbong detected. We don't use "pension" for private employees, it usually only retired government employees.

Is you trolling? Yeah, we do have these things in some companies called pensions. They used to be more of a thing, but not so much anymore.

>>936261895
>we do have these things in some companies called pensions
Yeah, in Bongland retired people are called pensioners. But a bunch of fucking dropout teens who don't know how to use a POS are not missing their "pension". The store was a nightmare and they were impossible to deal with at every level.

if you mean supermarkets, there are none in the areas where the city-run stores would be built; that's the whole point

What the fuck is picrel then? They also have farmer's market and other markets all over the place. And you don't care about all these people losing their jobs and having to pay exorbitant taxes?

Not a thing unless you're in an actual desert or in the middle of the woods. If you're too fat to make it 3 blocks to the next store, it's probably too late for you.

>- Private schools outperform consistently and by a long shot. It's not even close.
Private schools can't educate the country with any consistency and they can't afford to educate the handicapped. Like I said, anecdotal.

Contractors cut corners and guess who has to clean up their shortsighted profit-motive projects?

Healthcare was awesome for less than half the country and was becoming less-affordable every day. Obamacare is just private healthcare with the insurance companies left untouched.

Private fire departments don't serve the public.

Private police don't follow the law. They follow the people paying their paychecks.

Privatization has been a republican boondoggle for decades, just like "supply-side economics" and petroleum worship.

>>936253903 (OP)

The people will finally have a voice. It’s time to make public transit free, rent affordable, and it’s time to defund the police and invest in our communities

>>936262997

So they're going to write a check to fire fighters once they put out your house? You're doing that?

>>936263055

Private schools don't out perform Public Schools. More than likely you're paying for your kid's grade.

>>936263055
>Private schools can't educate the country with any consistency and they can't afford to educate the handicapped
They already have been. You're describing public school.
>Contractors cut corners
They can, but not usually. The government ALWAYS cuts corners.
>Healthcare was awesome for less than half the country
For 99% of the country. Then came the ACA and now the same 99% of the country has shit.
>becoming less-affordable every day
Compared to becoming less affordable every minute like it is now? Premiums doubled, tripled, and quadrupled overnight.
>Obamacare is just private healthcare with the insurance companies left untouched
Public school, obviously.
>Private fire departments don't serve the public
No shit. Your point?
>Private police don't follow the law
The public ones don't. If private ones fuck up, you fire them. They have something to lose and someone to answer to.
>Privatization has been a republican boondoggle for decades
Privatization has created more things for cheaper and made things more efficient and there is no comparison. Look at the birth and growth of this country. The colonists tried socialism as soon as they landed. It failed almost immediately. All the innovations that grew us into a superpower weren't from the government.

>>936263208
That was certainly the case at my local christian private schools. Retard factories.

i know a town with more than one stop light is "the big city" to you, but if you could stop fucking your sister-mom long enough to look at a map, you might realize that NYC is more than part of Manhattan

>>936263160
I said some places do. Some neighborhoods pay for their own fire department. Airports have their own. Some casinos or theme parks have their own.

>>936263389
And there's just no stores in sight in these parts of the city?

>>936263389
Looks like one in each borough. Sucks to live in a city where there are no stores in all 5 boroughs.

>>936263328
Adam Smith, the creator of capitalism, advocated for social programs. All economies on the planet use a combination of capitalism and socialism. Fucksakes, I hate discussing anything with the economically illiterate with a fox news "education".

>The US is a superpower due to socialized investment.

Which retard school did they hand you a diploma from?

>>936263394

Airports are mandated to, and that makes sense because it's fire departments need to be trained differently. Airports and theme parks act like little cities. Name me a neighborhood where they write a check to the fire department for their services. And the point is, YOU DON'T. You pay your taxes, like the rest of us. Welcome to socialism, chump.

I never said there was no hint of socialism nor did I say some things shouldn't be socialized. Some things can't fund themselves because there's no revenue stream, like the military, unless they turn to looting and raiding to support themselves. Schools shouldn't be socialized since they can fund themselves and the consumer has direct control over their performance. Same with medical.

>>936263760

>Schools shouldn't be socialized since they can fund themselves and the consumer has direct control over their performance. Same with medical.

Neither of those things are true. Medical is especially stupid because most people don't comparison shop, and you don't know what the cost of anything is anyway. Also, if you want to pay for school, be my guest, but it should still remain free (socialized) for the rest of us.

>>936263989

>- Private schools outperform consistently and by a long shot. It's not even close.
Private school students are self-selected with highest income parents who heavily invest in their children. Even mediocre kids perform well.
>- Roads are done cheaper and far quicker when left to a contractor.
only when managed by public inspectors, otherwise they would do shit work.
>- Healthcare was awesome before it became semi-government-run. Now it's shit and you see everyone complaining about it.
when did it become semi-gov't run? it was fucked when we let private companies consolidate and create healthcare oligarchies.

I'd love to see this sample set
