Thanks for the post, glgb.

Back in the ‘70s, I was getting a degree in city and regional planning. One of my professors was a refugee from Czechoslovakia. He was quite bright and had four PhDs and a law degree. In the urban planning class, he recited this mantra hndreds of times during the semester, “All planning is done in the name of the state”. I don’t think he realized just how much we laughed at him.

At the same time, I was taking a Russian government class in the poly sci department. We studied the Soviet “gosplans” especially in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. All of them were abject failures. Still, the apparatchiks kept writing them each and every year and each and every year the plans always fell short. They never learned.

One would think the dhimmicrats in the US would learn something about this.

Don’t you understand? It’s not that socialism doesn’t work. It’s just that it hasn’t been applied properly ;-)
