By the way, Mr. Brillopad head West looks like the twin of the actor who was in “Creepshow” many years ago. I think his name is “Clarence Williams”.

Freeper photo guys, do your stuff.

Bad example Tucker. The REAL question is “if socialism works, why do San Fransicans take a crap in the street, and don’t bother to wipe?” SAN Francisco was a Socialist hellhole long before Venezuela. 50 years of filthy hippies screwing up a beautiful city!

Cornel West still looks like an explosion in a Brillo factory and he still talks the same Marxist-Leninist garbage as always. Nice to hear from a greying Sixties throwback.

Hey Cornel! We white capitalist pigs still have our guns! Why doncha come and take them!

On second thought, you are correct. Let him make a fool of himself, not hard to do with the proper host. Tucker was not hard enough on calling him out. Always flip it, always ask for proof, never take the leftist premise as the defining parameter, and never allow the leftist to set the argument, never.

Everyone wants to bring up Venezuela but not Denmark, Norway or the other relatively successful socialistic states around the world.

Because those two countries are populated predominantly by highly civilized Danes and Norwegians!

Says someone who is 1/4 Danish and 1/4 Norwegian.

The facts are that we just dont need a central government anymore. The computers that governments utilized in the 1980’s, are now sitting on your desk. Heck, sitting in your hand. And since we have just been exposed to another downside to central government, (corruption), the risks now far out way the benifits. Heck, they always did. From day 0.

Except Denmark, Norway, and other successful “Socialist” states are not so very “socialist”.

They are mixed economies with lots of capitalism involved.

Their corporate taxes are less than that of the United States.

Norway, for example runs most of the state on the profits from its enormous oil reserves. As I recall, it also nationalized German properties after WWII.

The Scandinavian countries also get a boost by being under the U.S. and Nato military umbrella.

Mixed economies run out of other people’s money slower than complete socialist economies.

The U.S. is also a mixed economy, more toward the capitalist end than Norway or Denmark.

We might as well ask: “Where has capitalism been tried?”

The Western world from about 1870 to 1915 would be the answer. It was a golden age.

Any form of government that uses the words ‘’social’’ or ‘’socialist’’ is a totalitarian form of government that in the end enslaves a people in one way or another. Socialism is a fraud, an often murderous one as history has shown time and again. It’s works so well people build rafts out of inner tubes and garbage to get away from it.

Communism is not beautiful and kind in theory. It’s a sh!tty, murderous , life destroying nightmare that has murdered over two hundred million people in the last century. What are you doing coming to a conservative website posting this nonsense?

The failure of Communism/Marxism/Socialism/Statism is never the fault of those at the top. It is always the improper implementation of the Central Committee’s brilliant plan.

And the typical answer I have heard from a communist is ‘they are just doing it wrong. If everyone just chipped in, it communism would work great!’

Communists just can’t comprehend human realities and the free-rider problem.

Why Doesn’t Venezuela Have Toilet Paper?

The less food available, the less need for something as superfluous as toilet paper.....

so the working folks are evil because they have a job?

I have traveled a great deal, socialism gives away individual rights to state leaders in the name of we all have everything lie. Then it becomes obvious their trusted leaders are just men and women, ie, stupid and greedy, and without individual rights the law becomes a method to oppress..socialism is the reason for much death

Market competition turns human lust for money and power into a check on itself.

That pretty much sums up free market capitalism, IMHO.

“...look at U.S. policies toward Venezuela has been very, very ugly,” West said...”

_______________________________________________________

It’s not America’s job to care about Venezuela in the sense that West is contemplating. They got themselves into this socialist pickle, and as long as the people there tolerate it, the longer - and stronger - it will become.

AMERICA FIRST!

Academics can understand and explain how Marxism works with an all powerful gummit. They have no idea how Capitalism works and have no explanation.
