Smart guy.
The intellectual debates about a Socialist Utopia discussed inside the high brow University faculty lounges is nothing compared to getting out and experiencing its failures, EVERY TIME IT'S TRIED.

What’s worse is he was seeing it failing in countries that operated in a communal-based culture for centuries before they adopted socialism. The US is an individual-based culture, which means there is no condition where socialism would be accepted in this country. The only end result is civil war and constant rebel attacks from more than half the population.

The commoners of Venezuela should be asking where the comestibles for the Country Club crowd reportedly feasting on come from and why. The place is a time-bomb. How long before the populace starts emigrating via the Isthmus of Panama to Mexico and points north?

Always the case that intellectually effete professors are stunned when they see how their theories work (just ask Bill Ayers)

A Collective works when it is a small group (under 100 is best) made up of people who want to be there. They all have to be emotionally invested in the outcome and they have to have a reward system that is understood by all and stuck to like glue.
What works in small does NOT, in this case, work in big.

As they say:
If you are not a socialist when young, you don’t have much of a heart.
If you are still a socialist when you are old, you don’t have much of a brain.

Wrong- socialism works EVERY TIME according to the plans of the oligarchs who impose it. They get the peoples’ permission to steal and they make out like bandits until the tap runs dry.

Guy must have already announced his retirement because his tenure is about to be revoked.

Why should anybody listen to this guy? He's just an old white man, whose time has come and gone. I need a safe space now. Where's my teddy bear?
