Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Republicans often accuse Democrats of being socialists. But in North Dakota, socialism has been thriving for decades. It is the only state with a state-owned bank and a profitable state-owned grain elevator and flour mill, both of which the good people of North Dakota, who mostly vote Republican in presidential elections, embrace and value.

Oh no, see, it's okay...it's not federally owned, but state owned. That's why it's okay.
Not that there's any serious logic behind that, imo...

The Military (socialized defense) is socialism at its finest.

Socialism is socialism regardless if it is on the federal, state, city, etc level.
This be states verses federal would fall more under the "States Rights" rallying cry where it would wrong to implement socialism at the federal level but if an individual state wants to implement socialism, it is free to do so.
