Total garbage
I went to the University of Maryland
This was my political science professor
He was excellent
Great class
He's one of the reasons that I support capitalism

The Washington Post labeled Donald Devine as Ronald Reagan's "terrible swift sword of the civil service" when he served as Director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management during President Reagan's first term, The New York Times called him "the Grinch," and the Federal Times titled him the "Rasputin of the reduction in force – all because he helped cut 100,000 bureaucratic jobs and save over $6 billion reducing generous benefits.[1]

Mary Land (mother of Jesus) and the Univ. of Mary Land could be one of the breeding grounds of socialism.

Maryland certifies country's first new socialist party in decades

“It’s a new kind of socialism,” the founder, University of Maryland professor Jerome Segal, told Fox News.

I believe in a hybrid of the two because criticisms of both are accurate enough to require a hybrid model.

That's what China did.

They call it Communism, but it's a hybrid.

China probably is in a early stage of hybridization. But it may not progress. Pretending it is a good example just makes me think you're simple minded.

I was talking to this beautiful atheist Chinese girl in the USA.

She told me that when she was raised, they had a hard time getting bread (North China) in as late as 1969.

It was a nightmare to hear what she was saying.

Now she resides in a new house in the USA worth a lot of frog skins (dollars).

Her ex-husband was thrown in prison in China, but the USA leads all nations in that category.

Her and most other domestic Chinese I know are conservative and not what a person would expect.

Sure, there are some spies in the USA and many that are socialist, but they love freedom, not Communism.

Jumping to conclusions that I was endorsing China as a model? Hardly. But you seem to live in an alternate reality.

You referred to a hybrid.

China has a hybrid.

Therefore, all I did was connect the two.


Now I could have written most European countries but the impact of my words would have likely been less.

Like for example Klaus:

---------------------------------------------

His parents had moved from Switzerland to Germany during the Third Reich in order for his father to assume the role of director at Escher Wyss AG, an industrial company and contractor for then Nazi Germany. Schwab's family was monitored by the Gestapo, which in 1944 also interrogated his mother (who was from Zürich) for speaking with a Swiss accent in public.
.
.
.
In a 2017 interview, Schwab said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had been recognized as a Young Global Leader, and also mentioned Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: "I have to say, when I mention now names, like Mrs. (Angela) Merkel and even Vladimir Putin, and so on, they all have been Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum. But what we are very proud of now is the young generation like Prime Minister [Justin] Trudeau ... We penetrate the cabinet. So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I know that half of his cabinet, or even more than half of his cabinet, are actually Young Global Leaders."

The model would be some combination of US, Canada, UK, and some Nordic countries. All have various, but not always the same socialist and capitalist elements.

No government is going to be completely stable though, so, ultimately there is no perfect system that will satisfy everyone even if enacted.

Aside from that, communism isn't a middle point between socilalism and capitalism. Its principles put it farther left.

There's only a small portion of folks that have control of the USA.

It shows up in wars.

One after another.

And nothing will change for the better until their purse strings are removed.

All schools teach fantasy and make believe. The worst is in the Universities.

There is no doubt about it.

An exception could be private schools and home-schooling.

Meaning, if a family doesn't have the bucks, then the person is getting indoctrinated.

Hey DoubleGold, (since this is the atheist thread)

Why do you believe in god? Why don't you demand hard evidence of proof like you demand of proof of coronavirus. After all the Christian God performed things like parting rivers, and handing off a stone tablet, destroying a whole city. He also says you can move a mountain with faith. If he has brought a certifiably dead person back to life why not have him do it so everyone can see. He can make angels appear. He can impregnate virgins without a husband.

Are you really falling for the excuse that you cannot test the Lord they God?

Many choose not to look deep inside.

More specifically, look into our soul (mind, will, emotion) and human spirit (conscience, fellowship, wisdom).

For example, a conscience is a spiritual device, located in our temporarily assigned human spirit.

Most of us know it exists, but no scientist can locate it in the physical realm, because it resides in the spiritual realm.

It's general function is to let us know what is right or wrong.


But that's not all it does.

It stores everything we ever did wrong outside of our soul, until removed.

The human spirit is attached (bound) to our newly created soul at conception at what is called the "heart" (spiritual heart).

When we make a decision in life, we check our mind, will, and conscience.

So a decision passes through the spiritual heart.


There are many other traits about our conscience.

Another is, it can get numb (less sensitive), if we don't keep it relatively clear of obstructions.

That means making amends, etc. when we were wrong.

So when we make a decision, it can affect the outcome of a decision.
