The intellectual debates about a Socialist Utopia discussed inside the high brow University faculty lounges is nothing compared to getting out and experiencing its failures, EVERY TIME IT'S TRIED.
Well not so fast...look how well Venezuela is doing! Oh, wait a minute. Never mind.
Taxpayer funded research???
Hoe is this guy a ptofessor? 100 years of empirical proof and he only learned this by travelling the world? What a presumptuous prick.
What’s worse is he was seeing it failing in countries that operated in a communal-based culture for centuries before they adopted socialism. The US is an individual-based culture, which means there is no condition where socialism would be accepted in this country. The only end result is civil war and constant rebel attacks from more than half the population.
Bump.
Always the case that intellectually effete professors are stunned when they see how their theories work (just ask Bill Ayers)
What works in small does NOT, in this case, work in big.
As they say:
If you are not a socialist when young, you don’t have much of a heart.
If you are still a socialist when you are old, you don’t have much of a brain.
no, he’s not too smart... he should have been able to reach the obvious conclusions a lot sooner..... at least he’s not a lost cause.
Wrong- socialism works EVERY TIME according to the plans of the oligarchs who impose it. They get the peoples’ permission to steal and they make out like bandits until the tap runs dry.
Guy must have already announced his retirement because his tenure is about to be revoked.
Great article!
My favorite line: “I came to recognize that socialism doesn’t work, and that its ‘revolutionary’ imposition inevitably leads to cruelty, injustice and the loss of freedom,” the professor continued.
Unfortunately, a lot of “snowflakes” supporting the Bern just might learn this the hard way. I don’t really care about them, but socialism/communism destroys a lot of innocent people too.
bkmk
The Shah was overthrown by Iranian Sanders type idealists and got murdered by the islamists who got the weapons and weapon redistribution control. Same thing between Trotzky and Lenin.
Redistribution is a recipe for paranoiacs who invariably redistribute to their murderous plotical military operatives according to racial, religion or other lines.
Gee Wiz, all he had to do was ask me.
That dumb prof was pretty slow on the uptake. I guess he couldn’t read and had to experience the real thing to understand.
“Smart guy.”
Not really. Most people don’t need to travel the globe to know this. He’s just another academic moron. The world is chock full of them. I’ve never met bigger morons than academic morons. At all levels. Pathetic, limited people.
Not that I have strong feelings about this or anything..
