B-Man Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Senate Democrats Take One More Step Toward Socialized Medicine by Sally C. Pipes It’s been less than a year since Democrats enacted the Inflation Reduction Act, which gives Medicare the power to set the prices of certain medicines. Those price controls have yet to go into effect. But Democrats already want more. They’ve introduced new legislation that would amp up those price controls — and even permit the government to refuse to cover drugs in order to drive a harder bargain with pharmaceutical companies. As for the patients who would benefit from those drugs — or may even need them to stay alive? They may end up being collateral damage. The Democrats’ new price control gambit is the SMART Prices Act https://issuesinsights.com/2023/06/28/senate-democrats-take-one-more-step-toward-socialized-medicine/
B-Man Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 The Democrats’ Definition Of Democracy Is Like The Marxist Definition Of Peace I & I Editorial BoardJune 29, 2023 ‘The meaning of peace,” Karl Marx said, “is the absence of opposition to socialism.” To the Soviets, peace was the state in which resistance to their territorial and philosophical ambitions was not only futile, it was fatal. If Democrats were as straightforward as their philosophical consigliere, they would define democracy, which they refer to in worshipful tones, as the absence of any challenge to their political power. Given how that party has continually revealed its authoritarian core, there can be no other explanation. We’ve argued before that the Democrats don’t want to govern under constitutional limits but instead rule without constraint, which can happen only when their power is unchallengeable. We could point to the current administration’s direct and proxy prosecutions of the previous president. Its effort to eliminate a threat to its agenda is without precedent in our country, primarily because in the past Americans avoided a never-ending cycle of persecution and prosecutorial paybacks in which political stability is undermined. We have a long tradition of primarily civil politics and the peaceful transition of power. The criminalization of politics is only one iteration of the left’s doctrine that politics are war by other means, though. The Democrats, with in-kind aid from the media, are also trying to bully the Supreme Court into submission to their will. Their message to the Court’s conservative justices: Rule our way or we will harass you until you resign. In this war with multiple fronts, the Democrats are attempting to establish a permanent majority through a direct assault on elections. We’re talking about far more than the “cabal” that was mobilized in 2020 to guarantee the presidency for Joe Biden. The party is determined to federalize elections with rules that would put our voting system in the hands of Deep State bureaucrats and political insiders rather than the locals we live among, and codify practices that are illegal in most of the country. This would end our political system as we’ve known it, with its crucial checks and balances, and eventually replace it with a Democratic Party dictatorship. At the same time, Democrats are determined to crack down on speech, providing them yet another weapon to crush dissent. The Democrat-media complex cancels, destroys, smears, divides, makes insane speeches, holds show trials, misinforms, disinforms and censors with a single goal in mind: to consolidate power that has no opposition. https://issuesinsights.com/2023/06/29/the-democrats-definition-of-democracy-is-like-the-marxist-definition-of-peace/ . 1 1

While slavery was immoral and an afront to basic human rights by current standards of civilization it wasn't legally defined as a crime. Under "the rule of law" in place prior to 1863 slavery was legal depending on legal statutes like the designation of "free" States or not that were in place prior to Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, Juneteenth, and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. It's a subtle distinction but a distinction none the less. I'm not sure where you're going with your comment but if you're making the argument reparations are supported based on some violation of law and the commission of a crime, I'd counter that the argument has no legal basis.

The Frankish Reich Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 If our "anti-Marxist" commenters here would actually read Marx, they would be converted to Marxism in a week. Why? Well, because Marx was all about the conspiracies of the capitalists. In fact, he was one of the first (and probably still the best) at that particular type of analysis. 1
