Communism sucks. Socialism does too. Ask the people who survived both systems. As Fidel came to power in 1959, how many Americans slid onto rafts to get into Cuba? Or took the last ship to Havana? I'll need actual names.
Attention to all you college kids out there so starry-eyed for Bernie - are you serious?
But you're young. Far and wide you've been educated by Liberal pro-BDS professors, so you're not expected to know too much except that the two most reliable beacons of tolerance and liberty, the United States and Israel, are on the wrong side of history.
Pure brainwashing, but you will grow up. There is no excuse however for people already grown up who still cheer for Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.
You really think socialism is okay?
Let's be clear. There is no difference between socialists, liberals and progressives. They are all Communists, or shades of the same mentality.
Either way, it's about taking from the rich and giving it to the poor in order to make everybody equal, meaning equally miserable. It's also about a one-man show. No checks. No balances. Like Obama visiting a Baltimore mosque to offer Muslims his love and concern.
But Obama visited no synagogue to share Jewish grief for loved ones being slain in Israel, most recently the 19-year-old woman of valor Hadar Cohen.
Nor has Mr. Obama ever shared concern for Jews being tormented on campus.
One man, one rule, can be so arbitrary.

The only people who win under that system are the medaled guys on the Kremlin balcony waving down to the impoverished suckers.

Murderess (cop killer) JoAnne Chesimard for one, a number of years later, and we're not sure how she got there.
If Stalin were nationalist, he would have insisted on the breakup of a Soviet Union. But he was about as “nationalist” as Hitler was, i.e. while being imperialist; he was nationalist insofar as Trotsky was “internationalist”.
