So you totally missed the "before people resist it" part, then? Should I have bolded that?

I don't necessarily endorse the image.
I think you missed the part where these countries have indeed resisted the control of the means of production by the State by simply voting for parties which privatise State owed industry.
So yeah, voting is not a viable form of resistance to state seizure of industry.
Except in all the countries in which it has happened: Canada, UK, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and on and on and on...
Anyone ever think about how ugly a socialist society would look? What exactly is admirable about forcing people to be good? If they are born in sin and that much trouble, why are you forcing them to play nice, and wouldn't it be better to just do away with them entirely?
That's not a serious proposition (in this post,) but picture a species like the Orcs from LoTR in a little orc city, being beaten into holding hands and picking flowers for each other. How is it desirable? It's fundamentally repulsive to me somehow, like some parody of true good will, generosity etc.
Discuss repost.
Which means of production did voting prevent the state from seizing in those countries?

I know you want it to be otherwise, but it is not. The US is not a good example of a healthy political environment, seeing how deeply it is corrupted by corporate interests.
How lonely it must be to live in your political conception of the world; nary a single facts at all to keep you company.
Funny, but Obama isn't a socialist. He isn't even a leftist. He's what the rest of the world calls a centrist.

The State seized the means of production in Canada? When did this happen, you stupid fuck
I mentioned no country.Absolutely a fucking moron. With this post alone, you are suggesting that the USA is a socialist enterprise.
I'm not the one who claimed it did, you drooling fucking muppet. Now get back under the couch cushion where you belong.
