Sowell knows what he's talking about with regard to Marxism. His book
Marxism - Philosophy and Economics is as good a treatment in one volume as anything I've ever encountered. BTT

Wrong Dr. Sowell. Socialism sounds awful and plain evil. It is the oppression of the individual. In other words, it si the oppression of people. It is force, it is coercion, it is envy and fear. It is darkness and death. It is an awful and very dangerous mistake to give them any credit at all. It is all an ugly, deadly lie.

Socialists are the smartest people in the country. Just ask them. And smart people know that smart people should be making the important decisions for us. :)

What world are you living in? The rich share their wealth with me and me getting free stuff ? Sounds pretty good to a lot of people.

It is to take a principle which should be living in the voluntary sphere (most notably, churches and their charity) and trying to force it to live in an involuntary sphere.
As soon as contribution is not voluntary, people will look for ways to cheat the system.

Great article by Sowell
And we see from all the college kids Bering for Sanders they buy into socialism.
Yes history and now prove it gas not and will not ever work for people
but people like Bernie simply brush reality off by saying others were not done right.

Certainly nobody calls donating to FR, “socialism.”

How long before it all boils over? Not long I surmise given the conditions. We would have already exploded.

Thus it has always been with Socialism and Communism. “We just haven’t tried it with the right people”.

FTA:
It is only when you go beyond rhetoric, and start looking at hard facts, that socialism turns out to be a big disappointment, if not a disaster. Just 4 sentences into the article and Sowell already has lib heads exploding across the fruited plain. He's good like that!! Even better, in only a few more sentences, he exposes the facts established in Venezuela that the socialists can't manage to supply beer and toilet paper. Screw up the simple stuff and even Bernie's true believer college students will turn on him like a pack of wolves.
