What Makes Socialism So Attractive?

And red states are worse.

As you are a fathead, Venezuela seems the perfect landing spot for you:


“Venezuelans report big weight losses in 2017 as hunger hits CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelans reported losing on average 11 kilograms (24 lbs) in body weight last year and almost 90 percent now live in poverty,… in 1999, leftist President Hugo Chavez was proud of improving Venezuela’s social indicators due to oil-fueled welfare policies. But his successor President Nicolas Maduro’s rule since 2013 has coincided with a deep recession, due to failed state-led economic policies and the plunge in global oil prices.” Venezuelans report big weight losses in 2017 as hunger hits

I see you are still ignoring red states are worse in education. Really kills the partisan garbage you spew.

P

Especially to the young?

Why are the young so enamored with Socialism/Communism/Liberalism?
It may not be what seems to be the answer, free stuff.

The Answer may be something inherent to the human condition: a desire to be unique, and independent, and to make your own rules, and not have to answer to anyone else.



1.When Albert Camus wrote “The Rebel,” he put his finger on an aspect of human nature that most of us have, more so as youth, but, still, throughout our lives. We yearn to stand out, to be different, …we see it when the prettiest girl runs off with the ‘bad boy,’ or when the wild haired radical is the one everyone is talking about. True, family, and the desire for success often smooths the edges off, moderates how ‘different’ one chooses to be, and sometimes, later on, when we’ve given up most of that rebellion, we might come to resent those who actually carry it off…..but in our youth, we have it.

It’s all about the degree and desire to rebel.

2. Freud claimed he could document and explain that need to rebel, relating it to a biological phenomenon…. “The Rebel Instinct: How Each Generation's Need To Out-Rebel The Previous Generation Is Pushing Society To Wild Extremes” The Rebel Instinct: How Each Generation's Need To Out-Rebel The Previous Generation Is Pushing Society To Wild Extremes

But whether it is psychological or biological…….it appears, most significantly, to be political.




3. A tip of the hat to Freud: there is no disputing the desire to stop taking orders from parents. OK. But it grows, in many, to the desire to not have to show respect, take orders from, or to mirror the style and tradition of an older, more successful generation. Perhaps the claim that socialists/communists are all about greed, to take from the successful without the work that went into that success...’You didn’t build that!’ …isn’t just to get the material things…


........it’s the psychological reward of rebellion.


Perhaps the rebel wants to gain that success by a different path, one that doesn’t require looking like, sounding like, and behaving like, our elders, that explains the 50% of Democrats who are socialists. Enter Bernie Sanders, stage Left.




Now…..get this, the fly in their ointment:

The problem for those rebels is that they have given up the intellect and the education that reveals what Socialism, Communism, Progressivism produces for societies, always:

....serfs, slaves….or corpses.

I’m beginning to think we should just put all Bernie supporters in prison. After all, prison is really a “socialist” system. They get free food, shelter, and health services, all paid for by the “rich” taxpayers. They won’t even have to work. Just imagine how well off the country would be with all of them separated from society, even if we had to pay taxes to keep their “community” secured.

Everything Sanders talks about has already been done in every other modern rich country. Canada New Zealand Australia all have a living wage healthcare daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations. And mainly they tax their rich and giant corporations their fair share. You people are brainwashed functional moron chumps of the greedy idiot GOP billionaires.... Mainly Rupert Murdoch because only media owned by him spews the crap you love.... IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!. Dumbasses.....

All those countries are white, with very few minorities on welfare. A little fact you morons never compute.

Which has nothing to do with anything except for racist brainwashed functional morons.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

FDR suggested asking ‘at whose expense?’

yes!! And according Obama/Sanders libcommies it's not really at the expense of people who earned the money since they really didn't built that or earn that money. They merely acquired it through the unfair capitalist system, and so their wealth can be taken and gunpoint for redistribution.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Every other modern rich country has everything that Bernie wants here and they do just fine, brainwashed functional morons.

Yes, Europe does just fine living at 60% of our GDP per capita. If not for our inventions they would live at 25% of our GDP and they would have no health care since it is invented here too.
Do you ever think of college?

Dennis Prager:

1. The Left has been far more interested in fighting material inequality than tyranny, which is why Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, etc., tend to have the support of Leftists around the world.
2. The Left is less interested in creating wealth than in distributing it.

91." Appointing conservative judges is the one objective that unites the Republican Party. It is one of the few things the Senate can do without the House.

And it is something that immediately impacts public policy because, during times of divided government, many political fights end up being resolved judicially.

Trump may not have the “best people” representing him or running his White House, but he’s picking them to be judges. Indeed, “based solely on objective legal credentials,” left-leaning Vox’s Ian Millhiser says, “the average Trump appointee has a far more impressive résumé than any past president’s nominees.”
Approximately 40 percent of Trump’s appellate nominees clerked for a Supreme Court justice, and about 80 percent clerked on a federal court of appeals. That compares to less than a quarter of Obama’s nominees who clerked on the Supreme Court, and less than half with a federal appellate clerkship."

Wanna see a real fool?

Get a mirror.

Yes capitalism is mangled. Super low unemployment and weak wages. 3.1 is really weak. Workers have lost all power. The economy is loaded with near monopolies. Wake up.

They're not going to wake up. They are like mushrooms, kept in the dark.

Only worse, all the information they need is readily available. But they call it "fake news" so that they can remain willfully and blissfully ignorant.

"The main thing that has made socialism even a SUBJECT is the fact that the Right has mangled CAPITALISM."

This is nonsense. First of all, capitalism has not been 'mangled', it is doing very well in this country and others, far better than any other economic model that has ever been tried. True, we do have a lot of crony capitalism, lyin', cheatin', and 'stealin' going on, but ever other economic model has the same thing, it's just worse with capitalism because so much more wealth is created so there is more to steal. BUT, and I believe you have gone on screeds before about this business of blaming the Right for the misdeeds that have been perpetrated in this country, the truth is that the LEFT is just as guilty as the right is when it comes to crooked dealings. Exhibit A: the Clintons.

Capitalism does well. We have cronyism or corporatism.

It has become distorted. But these people wouldn't care, even if they DID know what was happening.
