Socialists are the smartest people in the world until they have siphoned off all money from their host population. History has not been kind to them. They never seem smart enough to keep those they swindled from hanging them or avoid the consequences of an indulgent lifestyle.

Mussolini and his mistress.

Saddam Hussein, guilty of crimes against humanity.

Mao Zedong killed way too many people (78 million) and smoked way too many cigarettes. His last photo.

Most deserved for all in my view.

That explains it. I was hoping it wasn’t the boyfriend’s political convictions.

If you asked socialists what they would do to sustain
themselves in a socialist economy absolutely none of
them would say they would work in a factory or on a
farm just like the rest of the comrades. They would all
be teachers, planners, or philosophers.

Seems to me in socialist utopia those who can
maneuver themselves into being in charge of the
distribution of (dwindling) resources would be
among the most financially fit.

>>>They’re feeling the Bern in Bernezuela<<<

Make America Bernezuela for the very first, and very last time.

Sanders 2016, because somebody else owes you a living.

I wonder what the unemployment rate is in Venezuela. Probably 0%.

But the “publik skools” as Dr. Sowell states, does not teach our children to be critical thinkers, so to idiots, socialism always “sounds” good. Idiots can’t analyze anything in depth, nor have the attention span to get past that nice word, “free”.

Socialism only promotes slavery of the virtuous and promotes Vice-—the opposite of what a true “Justice” System needs to do.

We now have flipped 2000 years of Ethics for Rule of Man (Vice System of slavery) back to the Socialist/pagan, feudal/serf model of enslaving and punishing the productive for making a few elites extremely wealthy who have totalitarian control over the Minds (skools) of all the children, so this cycle of slavery can last for generations because of the drugged, dumb children being programmed by screens and prison systems (skools)..

Besides, Marxists change the meaning of words to fool the masses-—Up is Down-— so it is harder to understand just what they are saying (like Slavery is Freedom).

Controlling Words (PC) is the Cultural Marxist method to get a Brave New World where children will be so confused and irrational they will actually belief that boys can be girls.

Facts are seldom allowed to contaminate the beautiful vision of the left. What matters to the true believers are the ringing slogans, endlessly repeated.

Yes, indeed.

Lots of Bernie bumper stickers around.

Some Bernie and Hillary stickers/signs down on the MS Gulf Coast, but I've seen far more Trump stuff.

IMHO, the ONLY reason we are NOT a Socialist Country already is surely not for lack of TRYING on the part of the Socialists living here!

It is because America is so filthy-rotten stinking RICH that it’s taking longer than usual to run out of, ‘Other People’s Money’ and no matter what you read, the ‘wealth’ isn’t as concentrated at the top as, say Venezuela.

It must be REALLY frustrating for the Socialist Democrats in America these days. Destruction isn’t happening fast enough and they’re not getting richer fast enough.

And Good!

Thank you, God, for our Founding Fathers and for our FREEDOM!
