I keep hearing that liberals would like to destroy capitalism and the USA as well, is this true?

No, those that are destroying the USA are the corporate big boys who are selling out this country and its jobs to the lowest bidder round the world.  Send the jobs to China and now Bush's Vietnam, and let us patriots wonder what happened in ten years when we are a third world country and trillions of dollars in debt.  This cynical disregard for this country and its citizens is unparalleled in history, and it is some of the most unpatriotic behavior of all time.

Sorry Holly, Liberalism is a failed ideology.  It has been tried in Europe for the past 50 years and has failed.  Most Western European counties are economically stagnant, except for the ones that are in the process of or have reversed their socialized systems.\n\nTheir economies have only stayed stable as long as they have because they have NOT had to spend a dime on defense for the last 50 years.  The US has protected them.  If the US dissolved NATO, and Europe actually had to defend itself.  Every European county would go into a deep recession.

Sorry proff, but is all about enriching ones self, you seen the one above me. Liberals are the scum of the earth because they care about people, it is wrong to care about anybody but yourself. I personally have seen both sides and I can't be so callus, maybe that is why I am a democrat. I think if you have a pile of boxes and you want to move them it is better to lift from the bottom that way you move all three boxes but if you lift from the top as the repuglicans do then all you lift is the top.

I think immoral would not be appropriate. The West, i.e. the USA and other European countries looted the whole world, of which they will never accept their fault and will never be guilty about it. Ever since the country of God, the USSR ( Soviet Union) collapsed in 1991 A.D. Capitalists have spread their ruthless ways to destroy the world. Due to Globalization, the poor is becoming more poor and the rich is becoming more rich.\nCan you beleive it ??? Capitalist countries dump their outdated goods to sell in other poor countries, and by their money they become more and more rich. That mongerl Bush should be be-headed at once. Talking about immortalities, they never respect other's religion, culture, customs and our languages. They have always wanted to wipe others out.\n(specially the East) You can see this in some of their films. They beleive they are the creators of all, even the universe. And they also exploit the most, they differentiate between gender and everything ( colors ). Women are treated as useless beautifull dolls without brains. THEY ARE THE DEVILS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely NOT! Libs want terrorists to have rights...just like they want to give rights to criminals. \nYou are a good American for pointing out another blemish in liberalism!

Its about time someone started thinking along these lines. See my question in the government section also." Has capitalism failed the British public?" It has failed the Americans but I'm not so sure most of them are smart enough to know this. Trillions and Trillions of debt to live like Brittany Spears and the others. But when the book is looked at, you have sold your soul to a faceless fat cat who has hidden accounts off shore where he does not even pay taxes. They buy the politicians to oil the system. Bravo! I'm with you on this one.

Modern liberal theory can be best understood by reading Elizabeth Anderson's posts referred to below.  It is solidly grounded in capitalism, it is highly critical of central planning of every aspect of economic life, but it is far more intellectually sound than modern libertarian and conservative economic theory, which has an almost fundamentalist mindset when it comes to free-markets and taxation.  One may be right in accusing the extreme left-wing in American politics of flirting with profoundly anti-capitalistic sentiments, but one would be a fool to pretend that modern liberal theory is anti-capitalist.  If you wish to attack modern liberal theory, start by reading up on it.  There is a reason why the academic world is not dominated by libertarians and conservatives, and it has to do more with the relative value of their ideas--which have not done quite so well in the free marketplace of intellectual inquiry--and less to do with inherent bias in the academic system.  One way to learn about both liberalism and conservatism is to read Rawls, Nozick, Hayek (whom I actually admire quite a bit), Sen, Dworkin, etc.  And once you have read the careful and intellectually stimulating discussions between these people, it becomes incredibly silly to suggest that modern liberal theory believes in socialism.

lol, I guess you have heard a response from a liberal, and I'll bet he is in a union.  I'm curious, how many times has he responded, "thats not my job!", when he is at work.  I'll refrain from telling the half a dozen negative stories regarding unions.\n\nAs for your answer, you seem to be making a point that in the middle is the way to go, which I agree with for the most part.\n\nYou say the right wing wants economic gaps.  I disagree with that.  The right, or conservative view, says if you work, you should be rewarded.  It is not a seperation of class, as you put it.  It is more about people doing something to better themselves, and be rewarded for it.\n\n The left wing, or liberals, aka. socialists, want to take what the workers have earned, and split it among everyone, including those who do not work.  These people do not work because they know that someone else will, and they will still get their share.  \n\nYou may often hear arguments such as, "ten percent of the people control 90% of the wealth".  I don't know how accdurate those numbers are, but I certainly am not one of those 10% of people.  I do know, however, that if I want a piece of that wealth, I can not sit on my butt and wait for my 'share' to get handed to me.  I have to go out and earn it.

Just because they CAN destroy the world doesn't mean they WILL destroy the world. Let's say God came down upon you and said he would destroy the world at your command? Would you do it? NO.\n\nOkay back to the question. I think America's belief in every person is created equal and should have equal opportunities for happiness, etc, etc is going to lead to it's downfall. Have you noticed America is importing more and more thing from places such as INDIA AND CHINA? Ya know how you always see everything marked: "Made in China" Places with rising economies that pays it's workers like five cents an hour for factory work. In America the minimum wage in most states is about five DOLLARS an hour. And has anyone noticed the national dept lately? Do you think we're ever going to be able to pay it off while policing the world? To make a long story short: Eventually China is going to take over the title of world superpower.

Not really. The fact is those who bash the liberals want the truth to be known. They are sick and tired of age-old, worn out ideas that cost us billions of dollars of tax money and then don't work!

Are you serious?  I am amazed at the liberal hatred of conservatives that I have read on this site.  Liberals accuse Bush of being a murderer and worse than Hitler.  I have read on this site people saying that they would celebrate if Bush was assassinated.  I have read liberals say that all conservatives are racist, ignorant, stupid, and evil.  These far left liberals are the most hateful people in America.  There are some hateful conservatives, but this in no way comes close to comparing to the hate coming from the left.

First, I don't think all Liberals are "Commies."\n\nBecause Rush took drugs, is it fair to say that ALL conservatives are drug addicts?  Because ... well, there are so many things liberals and conservatives have done that could never label the WHOLE party/lib.con.agenda.\n\nSecondly, the fundamentals behind Marx's idea of Communism are actually inspiring, and were meant to make the people free and equal.  You should read them.  I know we've been practically bred to shudder at the word "communism," but if you really knew what it was all about, you wouldn't quake quite so much.\n\nIt hasn't worked yet, I'll agree with you on that.  Countries that have embraced communism have seen huge economic failure.  I think part of the reason is that they are not supported (for aforementioned fears) and also because the nature of "leaders" is so often corrupted.  Sad, but true.  When someone takes control of a country or takes office, the powers they wield make them do crazy things.

Because if Liberals told us who they really are and what they really believe, they lose every time... ooops, I guess that's happening anyway...\n\nEven though Liberals agree with Communists and Socialists, they know that those labels don't play well with the American People.

I assume you mean the takeover by Mandela and company?  Terrorism and the intervention of American bleeding-heart liberals is how it was "incorporated into the world system".  Since then their economy has gone to hell in a hand basket and is not getting any better.  The people who took over were the old communists wearing a different name.  Read your history.  If they haven't rewritten it already.

The Republicans are kissing the Communists butts everyday now over Americans. That's because the Republicans are Communist too, it's a no brainer. Wal-Mart is Communist, RCA, Thompson Electronics, Microsoft, hell it's starting to become endless. They parade them around America, and call Communism Capitalism. How can it be Capitalism when they are not even Americans. The real word is called Monopolization with no free or fair trade, and that isn't Capitalism, it's Communism. So "RED" is for the Communists that they really are. I heard this from somebody else in here. The Conservatives choose Communism over Americans; because America can and would produce any thing that we need. America doesn't need anyone to produce our products for us. They choose to be Communist for greed, over America.
