Jim Carrey says 'stop apologizing' and 'say yes to socialism'

'Dumb and Dumber' actor Jim Carrey on Friday urged Democrats to “say yes to socialism” and embrace the attacks from Republicans.
“We have to say yes to socialism — to the word and everything,” Carrey said on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” show. “We have to stop apologizing.”

The actor, who’s among the richest in Hollywood, made the remarks after Maher pointed out that Republicans criticize socialist and progressive Democrats by invoking the example of Venezuela, a failing socialist regime where thousands of Venezuelans flee every week amid dire living conditions.

“But that word—the Democrats need to get a plan to fight this slander of, ‘Socialism, you’re going to be living in Venezuela,’” said Maher. “And I don’t see it yet.”

Republicans have repeatedly slammed the Democratic Party upon the election of troves of socialist candidates in the primaries across the U.S., including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who became the face of the changing party following her shock win against one of the top Democratic lawmakers, Joe Crowley, in New York.

More recently, progressive and socialist candidates made advances in Florida and Massachusetts, with Boston city councilor Ayanna Pressley unseating 10-term U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano in a Democratic primary last week.

The host of the HBO show said the party’s leftward shift is a reaction to President Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election.

“Medicare for all, ending student debt, a different approach to the war on terror, ending mass incarceration—it seems like if there is maybe a shining spot in this Trump tragedy, it’s that it’s made the Democrats sort of rediscover who they are,” Maher said.

I agree with Mauer, it has been Socialist for 100 years, saying yes to it changes nothing.

Hey, got a grate idea for a movie that would be right up your alley. A sequel called “Dumb, Dumber And Dumbest” in which the dumbest could be represented as socialism. The script is so simple minded that it writes itself.

Another grate idea is that the socialists could have their own MAGA hats; of course it would have to stand for Make America Grate Again.

Has anyone looked up the MEANing of grate ? No I don’t refer to the noun grate like the one that Marilyn Monroe stood over as the blast from below blew her dress skyward. I mean this one :

Grate (grat) v.t. 1. To scrape or abrade. 2. To pulverize by rubbing against a rough or indented surface; as to grate a nutmeg. 3. To grind (the teeth) or (something) so as to make a rasping sound. 4. To fret; irritate; or offend.

Don’t blame me; Webster wrote it.

Why grate ? Because every time I hear the word socialist I grate my teeth. Haven’t you or your buddy Bill studied history regarding socialism and how it worked out? The philosopher Camus said that those who neglect to study history are forever destined to remain children. If the foo shits.

Margaret Thatcher once said that the problem with socialism is that after a while you run out of other people’s money.

How about both of you give all you wealth (both multimillionaires, right ?) to the socialist cause and take a vow of poverty for the rest of your lives. That way you can enjoy all the “benefits” of socialism just like the millions of other socialist believers to whom you preach .

Has the world gone mad ? When I was a kid I read Superman comics and remember when Superman was in bizarro world in which everything was the opposite of what it should have been. Yeah, that’s the way I feel when I think of what socialism does to humanity. There is not much worse that crushing the entrepreneurial and inventive dreamers. Socialism is like the Grinch Who Stole Christmas on steroids; he doesn’t just steal one day but the whole damn year !

Capitalism, on the other hand, can be either good capitalism or bad capitalism. We don’t really have capitalism now and haven’t had it for many, many years. More like the fascism of which Eisenhower warned as he left office. Military industrial complex ring a bell ? Pharmaceuticals ? AMA ? Media ? …

Ian Rand wrote about it in her book “Capitalism, The Unknown Ideal”. I read that book over 50 years ago; how time flies.

Jim, please come back into the light. I always enjoyed your wild acting roles that only you could have pulled off so well.

Best wishes,
Agnut

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success. "
Ralph Waldo Emerson

You don’t have a soul. You ARE a soul. You have a body.

My thoughts exactly! Practice what you preach, otherwise you are a blatant hypocrite.

as long as money exists, the left vs right paradigm is here to stay... and qui bono???Complex modern economies can't function without a medium of exchange. There is an honest way to utilize money, and a dishonest way. We've been functioning in a dishonest monetary system for over 100 years now, the fruits of which you blame on the existence of money itself.
