Enslave the Poor Options

[Dogmeat]

It's really dawned on me that the poor, be they white, black, mexican, eskimo, french, who or whatever ..

Essentially contribute nothing to society.

They're lazy, they have bad attitudes, they aren't motivated, and generally speaking are just leeches on the rest of us who are actually attempting to be productive in life.

The problem with slavery in the past is that it targeted people by race, relegion or other politically incorrect classifications.

I propose that with the last century of what I'll call "Civil Rights Development" in mind, we re-instate slavery however we only enslave those who are jobless.

In essense, we can find everyone a job and then provide them with healthcare, etc, if they are enslaved.

It would be bad business for us to not take care of our slaves, however, the price for us taking care of them will be their slavery.

IE, they will work when, where, and how we tell them to work.

Eventually, once they've worked long and hard enough and are able to support themselves, they will be free of slavery, and than can own their own slaves.

I mean think about it ..

The poor in the ghettos, trailer parks, igloos, whatever... are poor, dejected, on drugs, etc ... they hate where they are, yet somehow, they refuse to leave.

I say we make em leave the shitholes they live in. If they won't get out on their own, we'll make them, enslave them, and force them to better themselves..

All the while contributing to the economy ... we'll have a society of productive people who aren't lazy anymore.

Sound good? I think so.

Dogmeat for President!

Therin lies the difference between Socialists & Caplitalists. One society is driven by ambition, the other is satisfied with helping others

"Helping people"? You think socialism helps people?!?! Make everybody miserable so nobody is extremely miserable. What a wonderful way to live life.

But by the same token, how can you be sure I would have been a meth smoking adult working minimum wage? The point is, the opportunity is there.

So, how do you have a first hand account of democratic socialism (which is what I assume people are arguing for here)? When did you live in a western European nation, or study there systems so extensively?

I mean, you seem to know so much about them to be able to say they are 100% evil and wrong!
That...or your spitting out right-wing propagandized knowledge on the subject which you milked from some Fox News lackey. (Same goes on the opposite spectrum for those that defend pure socialism)
