I think Americans will have to eat food in the swine pen for three generations before they realize that socialism sucks, that communism kills and that freedom rocks.
Ronald Reagan warned us that freedom was always tenuous. He cautioned that if we did not teach our children, our country would surely slide into tyranny as many great nations before us.
It appears that that day is upon us, not by some outside force, but from within. The openly Marxist public school system factory has churned a generation that cannot get enough of the benefits socialism. Government is now the solution, not the problem, as previous generations learned. At the heart of this movement is a liberation theology free from the oppression of God, morals, ethics, personal responsibility, and freedom.
State is now god in the eyes of this young generation. This new generation is casting off all the baggage of America's last 240 years and boldly going where others, like Russia and Argentina have gone before. But where will it lead? What will be the outcome for this generation that despises the wisdom of the ancients and cannot get enough socialism?
Proverbs 30:15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give , give . There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: 16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough. 17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
When your only options are what liberal professors and public educators present as ‘salvation’ (socialism) and corporatism (which is socialism and modern feudalism-the system we currently live in). Nuckleheads will choose socialism.
Problem is that other than intellectually we don’t have many real advocates for actual free-markets (which work) and lift people out of poverty, as well as give freedom. Ron/Rand Paul are maybe the exception on the conservative/libertarian/free-market side for young people/
Thank government union schools for this.
Lazy stupid slobs would rather have someone else working instead of them.
Problem is one day there will not be enough honest working people to support the slobs.
Then what happens?
Government control = socialism
Government doesn't work because government worker are unaccountable. That's reason number 1455839 why gov doesn't work.
Young Americans not getting a paycheck just love Socialism.
Young Americans getting their first paycheck, not so much.
“For those in the under-30 range, “36 percent have a positive view of socialism, while 30 percent have a positive view of capitalism.” The over-65 age range of those surveyed, meanwhile, maintained a negative view of socialism. Only 15 percent gave it the thumbs-up, while 59 percent favored capitalism, YouGov reported.”
This is why CWII or the revolution, or whatever you want to call it, needs to happen NOW while the older generation who remembers the Constitution and how this country was founded are still around. We can rebuild with the concepts that worked well for so long.
Any time someone mentions a love of Socialism, the famous and hilarious Bert and I story springs to mind.
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjKNZrn9_OY
The punch line is:
“Damn you, Enoch, you know I have two hogs!”
Seems like, the young ain’t got two hogs.
The generation that is absolutely going to get screwed under socialism more than anyone else is receptive to socialism? I say let them have it. LMAO.
Implementing socialism after you're already $18 trillion in debt is like ordering new lifeboats for the Titanic after it has already struck the iceberg.
What's next, I wonder? Will we find out that young people support the idea of raising the retirement age to 137 for anyone born after 1990?
"Fundamental transformation".
The video game epidemic fills their minds with despot anti-heroes who spout totalitarian think. The heroes never have real jobs but exist as extensions of the gamer to exert simulated destruction on everything that threatens their existence. This Millenials and Generation Z have minimal social interaction other than through a phone or skype. And, politics is through the lens of the game heroes which serve to eliminate all who stand in their way.
Well, you know, there is nothing better at curing an admiration for socialism than having to live under it.
We don’t have the kind of petro wealth that the Scandinavians have to artificially prop the system up, and we’re nearly in default as it is. So I expect it won’t take too long for Americans to start feeling the effects.
I think Americans will have to eat food in the swine pen for three generations before they realize that socialism sucks, that communism kills and that freedom rocks.
Of course they are. How else can the worldwide totalitarian state be ushered in?
Well let’s be honest - what has “free market capitalism” represented for younger people in recent times? What values have some the most strident free-marketers promoted?
Mass-immigration that swamps the lower end of the job market and changes the nation’s demographics?
Social liberalism, as we recently saw with the “revolt of the CEOs” in Indiana?
The massive, gleeful offshoring of jobs and the relentless pursuit of globalism and “free trade” that only seems to gut the working classes?
The erosion of local/community values and businesses and the promotion of bland, standardized, liberal-oriented globalist firms?
Massive financial/auto/etc. firm bailouts, but only for the biggest “players”?
Have our modern corporate executives been capable stewards of the gifts and advantages conferred to them by the American system, or have they been abusing those privileges?
I can see why younger people would be very cynical about all of this.
Neither of which either group could find on a map. What do the "youth" know about any other country? History, geography and civics instruction in today's schools is pathetic. They get their "knowledge" from comedians like Maher and Stewart.
Whoever controls the storytelling industries - religion, government, media, and education - controls the conversation and the destiny of a nation.
Until conservatives decide to dominate these industries nothings gonna change.
It is easy to convince people to see socialism doesn’t work.
The adults have to want to, though.
Like giving part of your A grade to a lower-performing student.
Like giving part of your paycheck to someone who didn’t work but just sat around because they need it more.
That kind of real-life example that shows the inherent unfairness and inherent repulsiveness that socialism is.
