Survivors of Socialism has a message for young American socialists.

[Bo Didleysquat]

Socialism, of course, has NEVER worked throughout history. But idiots keep trying..........

It saved capitalism, yet again in 2007-08, and the entire world witnessed america's most staunch "free marketeers" beg for it.

Technically the fiat currency that we print out of nothing does a lot of saving. Our socialist policies however have helped us get into problems also.

Supporting farmers and the aristocracy can get pricey I suppose.

My daughter's high school history teacher is teaching the kids all about the failings of the Soviet Union, and he has told them he is doing it specifically because he sees young people are falling in love with socialism and he wants them to know where it leads.

When she is older, I am giving her a copy of The Road To Serfdom.

Is the teacher explaining how we implement socialism in america?

No idea, but I have been teaching my kids about politics for most of their lives. Extreme right and extreme left.

When my other daughter got her first paycheck at her first job, she was pissed about how much tax was taken out. I said, "Congratulations! You're a Republican!"

Sure, only Republicans care about that. That's why no one ever questions global military empire funding.

I have a wide libertarian (small l) streak. I was raised on the writings of William F. Buckley.

I am not a Libertarian (capital L) because I have common sense and critical thinking skills.

I'm actually not a Republican any more, either. I resigned after Trump's election. The GOP is dead.

Dead, dead, dead.

Deader than a doornail. Deader than Trump's conscience.

The OP wants to paint a political systems failure upon it's structure

not realizing the world of historic failures of ANY system

and yeah, it's always the same factors , regardless of said system

No, that's the state of your political and economic system, Don is merely a symptom.

I was stationed in Gitmo for a while. I saw firsthand how fucked up communism is.

Every once in a while, one of the people of that imprisoned island would escape to our base. They would have to walk through the world's largest minefield to get to us. That's how desperate they were to escape. Sometimes, they would not make it. We'd see a small mushroom cloud from an exploding mine.

I took the opportunity to talk to the escapees as often as I could. Their tales were harrowing.

Yeah, and if the US had not been so shitty to Castro he wold not have had to turn to the Soviets. Castro was so evil the US had a torture facility there.

There are some things in there to think about, but we don't think in america, we believe.

Castro was always a communist. We did not make him one. That's a stupid myth.

America has occupational military facilities in 70% of countries and supports 73% of the world's dictators. How about the "communists"?

Also, any back issues of National Review from the 70s and 80s. To me, that periodical was like breathing pure oxygen.

Has it now?
How is it working in Venezuela? The people who "begged" for it are that very people who ran their businesses into the ground. You know...the Banks.....Bear Stearns.....Goldman Sachs. You are an illiterate lefty.
I'm willing to die protecting my right to worry about and take care of my family and allowing you to worry about you taking care of yours.

We're actively involved in attempting to topple Venezuela, just tried another coup, because Chavez booted out US oil companies. Why are US oil companies entitled to Venezuelan resources?

So die if ya like.

I was opposed to the rescue of the broker-dealers. I believe they should have been handled the same way LTCM was in 1998.

And there is no way Goldman Sachs should have received 100 cents on the dollar for their CDS.
