Are leftists too harsh towards the average American?

I honestly don't know why "fiscal conservatism" is still a thing. Look at what it has done to Tanzania!



President John Magufuli claims to be a social democrat, but, in practice, he is a neoliberal hyper-capitalist.

This is what happens when the government does not provide education, healthcare or a proper sewage system. The free market does not solve all of these problems. Instead, businesses pay the poor just enough money for their bare necessities and they cannot afford education, healthcare, plumbing or electricity.

I totally understand why some people are skeptical of a world without any economic classes, but the "fiscal conservatism" of Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and Murray Rothbard has been debunked. It has failed in an country it has been tried. The debate is over.

the typical fundie or prosperity gospel church would re-crucify him straightaway.

The Bible warned us not to become like the Pharisees. Looks like we didn't listen.

Amen! Maybe we yanks will wise up, next!

Not without a good education system.

Funding cuts aren't the only way to screw up education. The conservative history curriculum from the Texas Board of Education might one day be nation wide. Students won't be able to learn from America's past mistakes if their history curriculum makes it look like America has never made a mistake.
