I thought that case was already decided, since socialist countries failed so spectacularly.
But the idea hasn't died, especially amongst the young.
"Hitler's socialism, Stalin's socialism, Mao's socialism. You would think people would have recognized it by now," says Paul in my latest video.
Paul echoes Orwell in likening socialism to "a boot stamping on the human face forever" and warning that it always leads to violence and corruption.
"You would think that when your economy gets to the point where people are eating their pets," says Paul, contemplating the quick descent of once-rich Venezuela, "people might have second thoughts about what system they've chosen."
That's a reference to the fact that Venezuelans have lost weight because food is so hard to find.
"Contrast that with (the country's) 'Dear Leader' Maduro, who's probably gained 50 pounds," Paul observes. "It really sums up socialism. There's still a well-fed top 1%; they just happen to be the government or cronies or friends of the government."

Globalist libertarian Free Traitor policies are the biggest creators of socialists.
It always ends up pointing back to the “successful socialism” of Scandinavia or Canada. We will see how that goes as those places get more diverse.
Sweden seems to be reaping the whirlwind of “diversity”
John lays that out from Paul’s book near the end of the article. Thankfully, barnee and aoc and the rest know how to do it the correct way this time. NOT!
“Thankfully, barnee and aoc and the rest know how to do it the correct way this time.”
Yeah, AOC is going to do Norwegian social democracy while importing Central America’s entire population. You can really tie liberals into knots by pointing out that they want to emulate the whitest places on Earth.
Venezoo-ela/central America ain’t white. Norway? Only because of snow. Right? :-)
Yep, their intention is always Norway, their result is always Venezuela or even worse. I think we need AOC to flesh out the finer points of just what we need in terms of socialism. It would be fun to hear her talk about it all in great detail.
The Case Against Socialism (aka “leftism”)?

DNC = CPUSA Communists = NAZI Socialists = KKK = KGB = Totalitarian Police State
...and they don’t even try to hide it.
My visit to East Berlin as a 15 year old in 1962 pretty much sealed the deal for me. LOL!

America has its own failed experiment with attempting to socialize “involuntary immigrants”

‘America has its own failed experiment with attempting to socialize “involuntary immigrants”

Very true. Economic systems, political systems, religion, none of these account for the differing outcomes of groups. That said, all groups do worse under socialism.
A friend told me the harrowing tale of her journey through California during the recent fires. She said the power was off from the Nevada border to the Pacific Ocean.
You vote for socialists, you eventually get blackouts.
