Reminder: The US Military is a “Socialist” institution.

[HELLRAISER]

Here's an interesting thread topic that I stumbled upon that discusses and analyzes how the U.S. military is in fact a socialist institution despite the fact that anti-socialists patriotic nincompoops will deny this.

Yeah but that's different they're defending our freedom™, unlike those lazy ass welfare recipients mooching off the government who have NEVER done a day's work in their life. You want me to pay for somebody else's operation at the hospital? how about you move to Europe and live out your commie dream with your commie book learnin' cheese eater friends? Fuck yeah!


Socialism is only OK for the ruling elites and those who fight their wars for them.

So does that make the military anti-American?

Wrong!

FYI. Socialism is when the means of production are owned by the State. It means no more or less than that. Period.

The US Military gets to fuck around with cool shit on the taxpayer's dollar and mostly just root around.

Socialism/Communism is a command economy. You cannot describe the military as a "Socialist" entity. The military is a hierarchical institution.

Sounds like the US Air Force.
