The pan should say statism or collectivism. America has been swimming laps in it for decades now.
We look more like Greece. We have a small little oxygen tank that's keeping our lungs inflating in our lifeless body. Hope someone has a refill.
Definitely a progressive pan.
Fascist is the correct description of the pan. The U.S. is to socialism as the stock market is to capitalism.
Mussolini said that fascism was a partnership between corporatism and government, so I'll heartily agree with that.
… in France, they call it
“soupe de grenouille.”
Boil frog is not complain.
Of course the Bank Bail-ins are coming, global market collapsing too, and they have been pushing the world into a digital totalitarian global government where crypto & eCommerce will be the only way to do business, if you don't know that by now, you need to get a clue fast...
They won't last long now...

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”
? Benito Mussolini
Greece is a failed state precisely because it surrendered its sovereignty to the EU which is itself owned by financial oligarchs. But the slow-cooked frog analogy is correct - the Greek people - the demos in democracy - had no idea of the financial difficulties their masters were putting them in. Now they do, but its too late. They're cooked.
Wow - 1033 beat me to the save button.
Behind the appearances, what John Edgar Hoover described in 1956. It is a real conspiracy, whichever name can design it depending on the period. The Rothschilds are always behind. Elks, the magazine in which Hoover made his famous quote is here:
http://1drv.ms/1Ff2Arp
Being that socialism is a conspiracy by rich bankers and their minions to take over the world and rule from behind the scenes while the labors, war, and losses of the lessers continually make the rich richer then I think we have socialism in the extreme (near terminal phase).
The elites get everything.
Everyone else gets replaced by robots.
The game has changed since this plot was hatched. They needed us before. With technology being what it is, that 500 million on the Georgia Guidestones is looking more and more generous all the time. I don't believe even all of the elite have bought into it, yet. They are still progressing with furthering means of control out of chaos out of control out of chaos out of control out of chaos... You can certainly bet there is at least one of the vampires thinking he doesn't even need any of the other creepy Rockefeller/Rothschild types. Anyway, this divergance and, in other cases roll reversal, make it hard to see the overall strategy. Call it whatever you want, someone at the top is planning to either enslave or kill you.
All the elite are not in, but those who are not are blackmailed and exposed to danger. I am French, not fluent, but can tell you Bill Gates is blackmailed since the nineties. I worked long ago in Microsoft, was noticed by him, though non Jewess. It was perceived as an offense. He pays since that day in June 1990, and so do I. It took me years to understand what I lived, which is known by politicians and elites. I filed some 500 complaints behind the FBI since December 31, 2013. The last ones are here:
http://1drv.ms/1Ff2Arp
I can assure you that for example, all December long he faced death threats. I send each complaint, as soon as filed, to him, James Comey, the head of the FBI, Barack Obama, John Brennan...I send them very widely, and for the while nothing changed, except that I have the police after me, charged of public provocation to hate...for notes written on a blog where appeared at the time 198 FBI complaints with the mails by which I sent them. I guess it exposes the problem, which is huge, as it is transnational.
Search in my file the complaint I1501162135130952. It exists in two presentations as the FBI inserted the second complement another time at exactly the same second. It was the day after the Germanwings crash, and it is the complaint against the man who conceives the false flags since 9/11, Jacques-Antoine Malarewicz. To insert my words a second time was a confirmation. He cannot travel anymore to the States, but I have the police after me.
The words which were inserted once mor are these ones:
I guess the evil brain prepared the A320 crash when I completed this complaint and fear another attack to be in the making for I am hacked since I try to complete it right now. I guess his mail and phones should be listened at, this man is more than dangerous.
Being that socialism is a conspiracy by rich bankers and their minions to take over the world and rule from behind the scenes
There are dictionaries out there. It seems the vast majority of people really don't understand what socialism is.
What you are defining is fascism, not socialism.
Yeah, but 'socialism' and 'leftist' are bad, so if anything bad happens it must be 'socialism' by definition. [Faux News mentality]
Repeat a lie long enough and it becomes the truthiness.
The people made good the bankers and automakers losses.
The people are indebted, forever and ever, to the bank, itself the corporation of corporations.
The people go over there and die so 'the company' heroin and corporations can control oil, for the country of course.
The people must pay for health insurance to a handful of corporations who just happened to help write the law.
Corporations like legal and illegal immigrants. When the economy is tanked and labor is suffering, immigrants are bad for the people. We are getting more immigrants - for the corporations.
Yeah, I agree. Fascism. Isn't that another name for national socialism? It is just a different means of top down control. It IS the same as socialism that way and it is just as evil and repugnant to humanity as communism. I say hang all the fascists, socialists, and communists. Or, maybe just banish them to Saudi Arabia so they can be with the worst of the worst.
I have to point out a very happy mistake.
" 'the company' heroin"
I was meaning to refer to 'the company' meaning the CIA and their heroin trade in Afghanistan but see now that it looks like it refers to the bank and the fiat heroin they sell to the people, other corporations, and governments as a vehicle to slavery.
Oh, I thought you meant this heroine;

Technically, fascism is the state where the government virtually or more completely owns most of the businesses with which it is in political bed, so to speak; a state where "friends" of the government businesses take real advantage of the market and consumers to expand their operations in a monopoly fashion and maximise profitabilty at the expense of the subject population. DeutscheBank, remember, loved the 3rd Reich as did most other major manufacturing businesses - they made excess profits on the backs of the citizenry.... hmm.... just like the major US corporations are doing today while getting high ranking government officials to "fight" for them in the EU and other international markets and governing bodies.
This condition bears no relation or similarity to the capitalism under which the US is supposed to operate, but was abandoned strontly as far back as 1860 when the switch to a mercantilist operating methodology took place. Mercantillism, looks like capitalism, but that famous "silent hand" is in the glove crafted by and owned by the "friendly" business interests, including banking.
Hey, wait a minute. This cartoon isn't by renowned fecal fingerpainter Michael Ramirez. What's the big idea?
He's a proctologist!
He's an artist!
You're both right.
If black is beautiful, then I just shit a masterpiece.
Jackson Pollock can eat his heart out.
Check your iron levels.
If your shit is irony you may be anaemic.
or a Guiness drinker ...
collectivism is supposed to be about solidarity, not the individualism of fucking over your neighbor.
We are so screwed.
All the socialist regimes around the world either failed or are failing. You can't sustain things with people's money because one day the money ends.
This was proven right over and over again but people still demand more and more socialism.
illusion1, Which capitalist regimes have not failed or are not failing? Just wondering.
Capitalist regime .... regime as in regimented societies .... Capitalism doesn't have "regimes" ?
Yeap. True capitalism never really existed.
Oh, but it does, it it's purest form....just waiting for the republican saviours to come and build it out with all of the thieving gains thay have amassed robbing common Americans.
It's called Somalia and I wish all of you fat, pussy rich republicans could be deported there.....talk about religious freedom.....all of you scum would be in your heaven within 20 days....it's what you deserve!
If you are speaking of the US, we haven't had capitalism since the bankster scum slid the Federal Reserve Act through after everyone had left for Christmas 1913. They are now in the final end-game stage of their plan for what is best described as world communism- no middle class.
big business and gov have been in bed together since the beginning of capitalism.
"World communism" ha, ha, ha. You sound like a right-wing flag waving hick.
And you sound like some douche who voted for Obama twice! Look around Sparky, Europe is socialist, South America is socialist/communist, China, Russia. The US saw heavy commie infiltration starting in the 1950s which culminated in the "election" of a card-carrying red diaper baby twice!!! The Elites control ALL of these countries. Destruction of the middle class is the goal, can you deny this?http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/global_elite_picked_obama_171.html

I'd never vote for Obama or conservatives.
"Commie infiltration"? They made movies about people like you. See Dr. Strangelove.
"Straight out Hickville" is you anthem.
Please learn something. It's embarrassing.
Haha, Kubrick played you like a fiddle! Stanley was an insider, and was thus granted permission to show THEM as THEY are, within a very definite frame, of course. You, a "collectivist", calling us a "hick" is not an insult.
Hick is certainly not an insult to a hick.
Do you really think capitalists would let socialist have power. That's just plain stupid.
If indeed REAL socialists do have power then capitalist are even bigger idiots than I thought. And I'd like to consider myself a capitalist, but not of the moron variety.
An honest look at history shows capitalism savaging socialists and prefering to support dictatorships because they are willing to shove neoliberalism down the people's throat.
That's not up for debate.
And you're right about Stanley "an insider, and was thus granted permission to show THEM as THEY are", only you don't have a clue about who the insiders are. Their not socialists?
That's just laughably stupid. Socialism has been defeat for quite a while now. The only thing that keeps it alive is the failings of capitalists who refuse to accept reality.
Good point. Socialism is the process of transitioning from some other system to communism. Typical example would be some level of capitalistic economy with a form of democratic govrenment.
You must understand that to the "true believer" no nation's economy on earth is truly capitalist because the government does things outside of the marketplace. Hence, its impossible to find a failed capitalist state because there never has been one. /sarc
Capitalism's doing just peachy.
It is the ignorance of the capitalist to think socialism fails when it actually their master capitalists that destroy it wherever they can.
Vietnam was about to vote in a communist gov., therefore the US had no choice but to visit hell on Earth to a third world country that did nothing to the US.
The list goes on and on.
Apparently they are smarter than you. Socialism has never had a serious chance.
Isn't it a little childish to continue believing in fairy tales about capitalism and socialism.
There's no such thing as a self-made man.
Capitalism prefers to cheat than engage in fair competition when it can.
Capitalism wants monopoly, and when it gets it crushes competition if it can.
I'm a capitalist but I'm not going to engage in fairy tales peddled by bankers and the super rich.
Let's have a little guts and accept capitalism for what it is.
We should always seek to emulate the sophistication, civility and refinement of "the continent"!
(Gag)
The world is going to hell in a basket and nobody is willing to make the hard choices for fear of loosing a vote.
Your socialist queer bastards are communist and facist , you stupid fucks.
I appreciate directness, cut to the chase.
Compound Socialism .... socialist excesses .... unimaginable in austere socialist countries .... 100 million able bodied US unemployed .... only Capitalism provided the abundance .... for socialism to go beserk .... EU vs Greece !
"100 million able bodied US unemployed"
Didn't you know in capitalism we call that "reserve labor"
Reserved for what? Eating chips?
Consider them the 'draft pool'.
A lot of bodies with nothing much to do, elitists itchin' for the next world war so they can support both sides...idled industries...something rhymes here, not sure what.
If socialists could find a way to kill their employers and still have a job they would have done it by now. Socialism will never work.
What works?
If capitalists could find a way to kill their employees and still have a job and make their bonuses.... Oh wait.
Don't forget Capitalist lust to kill your customers .... as a business model !
Death is an unfortunate consequence from a bottom line standpoint. Sick and dying is better. Lots of healthcare, prescription drug, etc costs.
'Bout time you slid all the way out of the socialist closet Rand. You always denied it before 'cause you knew it sucked!
Who wants a job? There are thousands of empty factories across the country, whose unionized workers were once the envy of the world. They squeezed the employer for years and then suddenly for no reason at all, the factory closed and they all lost their jobs.
Um... those employers abandoned workers with the help of the liberal-conservative government and went to where good old brutal sweatshop labor is alive and well, and very very CHEAP.
Isn't it kind of stupid to think that workers have more power that big biz executives and their gov puppets?
VERY apropos.
Socialism is based on ideal that is absurd on it's face .... the selfless man .... who thinks about his fellow slaves first .... a mythical race of selfless suicide bombers .... giving their all for the common wealth !
Maybe it's quibbling, but our frog certainly isn't deciding whether to jump in. Been there for a solid generation and the past 15 years we've been diving into the deep end. jmo

They make bankers crimes look like sppeding tickets.

They make war look like a worthy cause.
They make spying on you look liberty's safety blanket.
They make anyone who disagrees look like a terrorist.
They make the world a dangerous place to live in.
Brilliant post.

He left his legs behind in a French restaurant and couldn't hop it.
You have to be kind of ignorant, as this cartoonist seems to be, to think socialism is the problem here. Socialism has no power (except for the neo-liberals who call themselves "socialists" in European govs).
Let's face it. What's kiling Greece is good old neo-liberal corporate/banking capitalists (however perverted they may be from actual capitalism).
It ain't Marxists in the halls of power. That's absurd stupidity.
That's moronic.
...so sayeth the Communist.
The good central committee replaces the evil king and nobles.
Abstract political theories and ideals can't destroy the finances of a country. A corrupt banking system can.
Pretty perceptive cat...
DaddyO
Well, that's a pretty naive statement.
So you're telling me that Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, and the takeover of 17% of our economy, helps?
Then, add to that all the socialist policies, like Social Security et al, and that's not a negative?
Then, taxation to the umpteenth degree, where the 1/3 of Americans that do still have a job, have to dole out 50 to 60% of their paychecks? So that helps an economy?
And a Progressive Tax system that rewards the low-wage worker while demonizing the rich (and the ones who create jobs), helps?
And a Capital Gains tax of 35%?
And regulations that put companies OUT OF BUSINESS, like the coal industry?
Yes, The FED and all the central banksters need to be hung (or at least exposed and outed, and their books opened up), but come on, if one wishes to DESTROY A NATION, all they have to do is implement the "political theories and ideals" of Marx.
You're a pretty NAIVE cat, if you ask me.
Bullshit! A central banking system and fiat currency are attributes of a corrupt, tyrannical government operating under an anti-free enterprise, anti-laissez faire philosophy of political economy that only manages to improve the lifestyle of the parasite elite that it perpetuates. There is no shortage of tyrannical systems of governance, utopian ideologies of political economy or corrupt politicians.
Schroedinger, maximus felix domesticus.
Leftist "Abstract political theories and ideals" are destroying the entire world.
Leftists are the Wests equivalent of the muslim religion - they are both fucked up destructors of societies.
Statistically there are no leftists. They are vastly outnumbered by Black Swans.

hahaha...why dont you put in puerto rico, illinois, californian and mighigan while you are at it... just chop the legs off fiirst..dont want a shit kicking taste ;)
oh oh oh.and that japanese toad fin or that chinese birds nest "i can modernize cos socialism says so" soup
Socialists is bad. Capitalists is good. So say the Fascists who are running the world.
OK, now there is a great ignorance about the subject.
Everyone is blaming governmnt's debt and their "social programs" for the situation South European countries are in. It is not very correct. Actually this is a big lie that was fed to the pubblic. The situation was created by current account imbalances and private debt financed by careless German and French banks. Governments had to step in.
So the reality is that the social programs had never been a problem... the monetary system was as well as the stupidity of banks that financed huge deficit in current accounts. Actually it was not just stupidity. Germany was very happy to lend money to Greece to sell Mercedes and BMW made in Germany. For the German it was a great success... a double success, commercial and financial (the risk was not taken into consideration).
I remember when Berlusconi government was terminated, he was probably the only Italian politician smart enough to realize that the huge debt (that was supposed to be zero as an average in time) created using automatic settlements between central banks via the Target 2 mechanisms was impossible to settle for a creditor, because it was a debt not subscribed by the debtor and that was supposed to tend to zero!!!
Target 2 works more or less like this: two acquaintances meeting everyday for coffe. One is also the owner of the coffe place and everyday buys a coffe to a guy that doesn't have money under the assumtion that tomorrow or one day he will buy. In theory everybody should buy everyother day and have a zero balance. At the end of the year, the owner of the coffe shop seems to have sold a lot of coffees when he ask the poor guy the money that he never paid in one year... he finds the other one cannot pay. Now... no judge could ever force the poor guy to pay back those coffees because there was just an assumption. The coffee shop owner was stupid enough to assume...
This is exactly the kind of debts created with Target 2 mechanisms... and why they were so dangerous for the creditors... they were not redimable without the cooperation of the debtors...
Nobody even mentioned it...
I am sick and tired to hear people talking about how much the Southern countries spent in social subsidies. It is the biggest misleading assesment of all.
Concur, this cartoon is just propaganda. Fragment, divide and distract, that is how THEY manage public opinion.
The sheeple would not recognize fascism when it flies into their faces.
You are a leftist retard if you actually believe the stupidity you typed.
sorry... I am very much a capitalist, hard core capitalist. Now this is another misconception, capitalism doesn't mean that money/capital rules over everything, and there is no real problem in having a capitalistic economic system inside a framework were some programs are meant to support society. In Europe (as well as in the USA), governments (and goverment spending) were used to bail out financial institutions, spreading the losses on everybody and then blaming government spending in "wasteful" social programs. This is not Capitalism, my dear... this is socialism reversed, an appropriation and reallocation of wealth and resources that is purely criminal.
;-)
Yum, poached frog.
Simmer On
The only cartoon should be:
America sodomizing all others
Not Socialism, Banksterism.
Uh...the Earth is flat?
Let me see if I can shorten this.
A libertarian and Realist walk into a bar.
BLA, BLA, BLA...
BLA, BLA, BLA...
Realist: Ok, Ok, let me explain it this way; in the EU Socialism is spelled, S-O-C-I-A-L-F-U-C-K-I-S-M.
Libertarian: You idiot! Even in the EU there is no FUCK in Socialism. There is just no FUCK in Socialism.
Realist: That's what I've been trying to tell you. In the EU there is no fuckin' Socialism! In Russia there is no fuckin' Socialism. In China there is no fuckin' Socialism. In the U.S. there is no fuckin' Socialism.
And, Furthermore stop calling Obama a Socialist you're slandering Socialism.
