Well written article.

No, it is not a well written article. I posted a few times on this. The youth are flocking to Sanders. To the youth, Socialism is Denmark, Sweden, France and the other cool European countries they would like to visit where they guest in clean hostels, etc.

When the reaction from anti-Sanders people (and I am one) does on to declare that socialism is the USSR it loses the audience Sanders is targeting. To the American youth socialism is not the USSR (regardless of the fact the USSR called itself socialist. The East Germans call themselves Democratic and they were not that either).

This kind of argument by tone deaf Kasparov and his ilk is like shooting blanks. It has no impact on Sanders supporters.

The other socialist that many youths will gravitate to is the new leader of Canada.

If we lose the youth we lose the future - so that is why we need to explain to the youth why Sanders is wrong but in a way that resonates with them.

My goal was to remind people that Americans talking about socialism in the 21st century was a luxury paid for by the successes of capitalism in the 20th.

He is so correct.
In California the majority of the taxes the state collects depend on less then 10% of the people. If the stock market goes down then the state goes deeper in debt. Meanwhile the socialists spend even more while more and more people are leaving the state then coming in.
