Students don’t want socialism when they have to suffer from it..Ask all the students to just accept the C grade for all their courses , it will make the bad students feel better..Nobody gets any more than a C..... Too,everyone will think you Are all bad students..Total equality.... We couldn’t give bad students A’s because then their boss could sue us...Especially for doctors, nurses and bridge builders....
The Marx version of socialism is “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”. The Americanized version is “from those who can and do, to those who could but won’t...why should they when they can employ the police power of government to TAKE IT from those who can and do and GIVE IT to those who could....but wont”. That about sums up the modern thinking of the typical millenial socialist. Not pretty but pretty simple.
True as far as it goes. But after arrival they set about establishing their own religious persecution. Just ask Roger Williams who was expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for religious reasons and established Providence in what eventually became Rhode Island.
I completely agree with the points of the failure of communalism.
BTW the first documented Thanksgiving was at Berkeley Hundred in Virginia on December 4, 1619 two years before the Pilgrims celebrated one in Massachusetts.
National Geographic: The Thanksgiving before the 'first' Thanksgiving
Unfortunately for the English settlers, the Indian massacre of 1622 caused Berkeley Hundred to be abandoned and the tradition was not continued.

The same thing I saw when I decided to visit a hippie commune in the late 60's out of curiosity. The only thing different were the lay-abouts who wanted to sing Kumbaya and bang on their bongos while expecting their equal share of production. That commune (north of Los Angeles) dissolved 2 weeks later because of the producers getting fed up and leaving.
Unlike many here, I've personally seen communism fail in real time.
