They’ve been raised as idiots, unfortunately.

Prefer Socialism Over Capitalism

Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again. Ronald Reagan

Pity the poor misguided young souls who will have to learn this the hard way and pity those of us who long ago learned this valuable lesson.

Their first mistake is in mistaking Socialism as an economic form and Capitalism as a government form.

Here in NJ they would both be voting Democrat (if she is a public school teacher); the Democratic Party is the wholly-owned political arm of the teachers’ unions. In NJ the property tax-paying private-sector employees (Republicans) are pitted against the government workers and gibsmedats (Democrats).

“So, they prefer something they’ve never lived under?”

Even some who lived under collectivistic rule prefer it. In 2003 I was deployed to Uzbekistan, once part of the USSR. I met several young Uzbek women in their early 20’s who were but children in 1991 when the Soviet Union fell.

Every one of these young Uzbyechkas was nostalgic for communism where “everyone had a job, food was cheap, and annual vacations were free”.

One gal with waist length hair looked me in the eye and said in perfect English, “I want you to know one thing: I admire Josef Stalin!”

So yes, our Millenials probably think that Comrade Bernie’s brand of socialism will solve all of their problems. I invite you to listen to “Royals” by Lorde; it is practically the Millenial national anthem.

So, a student gets and “A” in class and another gets a “D” in the same class..... The socialistic professors solution is to make it fair for all students so using the “equality” theorem they both get a “C”. If you were the "A" student, do you think that is fair? That my friends is a simple explanation of socialism. Equality for all.

Shouldn't "millennial" read "LOSER"?

It seems that they do not know what socialism is! here is their definition.

To be fair, the first thing Millenials want was government intervention in key areas. They also wanted higher minimum wages, a form of public health care, and more taxes on the wealthy. However, more than 73 percent wanted to privatize social security, 64 percent want to reduce spending because it would supposedly help the economy, and 59 percent say reducing taxes will help the economy. Oh and I forgot to say that 57 percent want a smaller government providing fewer services and lower taxes.

"So, they prefer something they have never lived under?

And the parents and grandparents of Millennials also came up with wonderful capitalistic (sarcasm) programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credit, Unemployment Insurance, Food Stamps, Housing Assistance, Corporate Bailouts, etc.. One can argue that America has been a de-facto socialist country since 1933. Instead of laughing at feeling the Bern, we should fear the Bern as his election and implementation of his programs are not so far fetched.

The public schools system should be dismantled.

Why can’t the class room be moved to the Internet to lower costs. There are some doing that but not enough. Why not require publicly funded colleges to do more in this?

How easy it is to disparage the younger generation, although most of the people who do so sent their children to public schools, and paid for their college tuition. Partaking of welfare in the first instance, complicit in socialist indoctrination in the second instance.

Socialists see what is happening and call it Capitalsim.

Capitalists see exactly the same thing and call it Socialism.

Corporatism, the arch-enemy of Capitalism is a third economic system in our mixed economy. Corporatism is growing, mostly at the expense of capitalism.

Socialists see the evils of Corporatism. But Socialists are economically ignorant. So they mistakenly blame the evil on Capitalism
