Would there be any demand for socialism if America got rid of unemployed losers, disabled people and moochers?

Seriously, imagine an America where drug users, alcoholics and sex havers were either drowned or sent on a boat to Cuba? One problem solved.

Imagine an America where unemployed people got electrocuted or put on a raft heading towards North Korea? Sounds good. A nation with no unemployed people.

Imagine an America where all the ghetto people were either burned at the stake or put on a boat to Sweden? America with no ghettoes? Sounds great.

Imagine an America where people who are disabled and can't work were sent by boat or plane to socialist France, thus, no people in America who can't work? Burden lifted.

Imagine an America where all the sick got sent off to socialist Canada or Britain for their socialist medicine? No more sick people in America, therefore no sick people to take care of.

There, an America full of healthy, hard-working people. No need for socialism. Just get rid of those who are needy.

    I hope that what you're postulating is simply hypothetical and not *real*.

    Because anyone who just wants to get "rid" of those people whom are either infirm, disabled, or needy needs a serious mental check in the Compassion Department.

    (PS: France's socialist system is far more efficient both financially and medically than the US's current system of broken free-market trade and corporate capitalism.)

    If you got rid of all the "sex havers" there wouldn't be many Americans left after a while would there? Sex ed classes could come in handy at this point. Also actually, the left wing party lost in the last French election. Sarkozy is not a Socialist. Seeing as you're basically proposing getting rid of more than half the population (the sick covers quite a lot doesn't it? Who hasn't had a cold?) who exactly is going to enforce this? Think before you speak could you?

    Americans like you don't even understand what socialism or communism mean, or you just don't have a heart or single ounce of empathy. And as a Canadian, I can't speak for all of us, but I would be happy to open Canada up to any American liberals who would like to come live among the non-crazies. And if I may ask, do you plan to never be a "sex haver" your entire life? Do you plan to never get sick your entire life?

    Thanks though, reading the term "sex haver" was the best laugh I've had in an hour.

    I think that was Hitler's idea. The super-race. Eugenics. Didn't work out too well for him or anyone else for that matter.
