For Americans, it’s a cover.

Take a look at our Democrat/Socialists.

Diane Feinstein....rich or poor?

Nancy Pelosi.....rich or poor?

Hillary Clinton.....rich or poor?

Elizabeth Warren.....rich or poor?

Bernie Sanders.....rich or poor?

They are all rich, yet they talk about redistributing wealth.

Why don’t they redistribute their wealth if they think that is such a good idea?

It’s because they are liars and they are talking but not doing.

They’re arrogant. They think they’ll be part of the elite group that tells the masses how to lead their lives.

Once you become the leader of a Socialist/Communist country, then you are in charge. You are responsible. You have to make the magic happen.

But you can’t.

There is no magic.

You can’t provide everything to everyone.

So, what do you do?

You reduce the number of people you have to take care of.

You also blame the problems on foreigners.

One of the kids in my neighborhood when I was growing up believed in magic. He really did.

He thought that if he put on a black cape and waved a wand, he could magically make things happen.

The last time I saw him, he was working as a waiter.

Not so magical.

I grew up in the Age when phrases like “the only good Commie is a dead Commie” and “kill a Commie for your Mommy” were on Bumper stickers.

In today’s America, half the Population would think you were talking about them.

It weren't Millennials that oversaw the price of a college degree reach that of a small home while mandating that every job that paid over ten dollars an hour require one.

It weren't Millennials that shipped our entire manufacturing base overseas and imported a foreign slave labor force to work the few blue collar jobs that remained for pennies.

Did Millennials allow our health care system to achieve costs so sky-high that breaking an arm without health insurance could bankrupt a family?

It weren't Millennials who built solid middle-class lives with wages provided by labor unions and then sought to dismantle these unions once they no longer benefited from them.

Enjoy your socialized medicine. It's coming, courtesy of Millennials. Call it "payback" if you will. It's going to suck if you're over 65 but at least a child's broken arm won't bankrupt a family.

They are the people the anticommunists were struggling to prevent.

Or as I’ve been saying: When stupidity becomes common in a culture it will be the stupedist stupidity available.

These are frequently that same people onboard with the gender letter lunacy ... so they’re running at the ragged edge of stupid in more ways than just being socialists.

Really not much difference between Hitler and Stalin. Both pretty much did the same things. Hitler had the Jews, Stalin had the Kulaks.

Arbitrary government really took off under FDR and the indoctrination by useful Idiots was ongoing even then.

Capitalism produces EVERYTHING Democrats/socialists/communists wish to “redistribute.”

Democrats/socialists/communists run out of things to “redistribute” the minute they succeed in destroying capitalism.

Case in point; Venezuela.

You are absolutely correct. It’s a simple formula, and we actually paid them to do this.

And you kill or imprison those who point out that you actually have no magic.

Harry Potter is a huge phenomenon.

Why?

Because people want to believe in Magic.

They want something for nothing.

I worked with a millennial that took several helpings of socialism in college. He believed that all the negative news out of Venezuela was only capitalist propaganda. Socialism was the ideal that all should strive for.

Depends on the stories you heard - mine came from actual people who made it over/through the wall at the time when I lived there ... there was lots of blood stains in many places, even shrapnel and bullet holes (easy to patch)
