Another stupid Millenial with zero knowledge of history. Money quote:
Not to be confused for a totalitarian nostalgist, I would support a kind of socialism that would be democratic and aimed primarily at decommodifying labor, reducing the vast inequality brought about by capitalism, and breaking capitals stranglehold over politics and culture.,
The geriatric argument that "real" socialism has never been tried.

Socialism is not compatible with anything that is good.

For crying out loud, even the Communist Chinese have a market economy!
They know Communism doesn’t work. We couldn’t do it any better than them.

That’s nothing. I support the distribution of pink, magic, fairy dust (the new stuff - not that old stuff) and slivers off of Gandalf’s staff.
Cause we need some kind of magic to force rational cogitation in millennial fools. Something besides lead, which I would really prefer to avoid.

Yea! Let’s become Venezuela! Where Utopia reins!
Where wheelbarrow loads of cash are a common sight;
Where even that much cash is totally worthless;
Where even if the money were worth something, there is nothing to buy;
Where government issued food cards are handed out on the basis of political loyalty;
Where anti-government sentiment brings government issued thugs to take back the food cards and;
where persistent anti-government sentiments bring the government issued tugs back to take whatever food you have.
Yea! Real socialism at last!

I’m impressed.
The Washington Post came right out and *admitted* they are communists.

I’m willing to give socialists a trial. I expect they will still go to prison, but, hey, they should at least get a “fair trial” first.

It’s time to give at-home lobotomies a try.
It’s time to give self-immolation a try.
It’s time to give driving whiskey a try!

Socialism is like heroin — you can’t just give it a try.

Mentally-challenged Liberals can ALL take their sorry rectums and all their Liberal cohorts to Venezuela to live ASAP.

It's time to give non-university graduates a try in journalism. Maybe we can come up with a thinking and credible media that way. Right now, it's a joke. If she wants to try socialism I suggest she move to Venezuela - but should not subject her child to that.
