What they don't realize is that crony capitalism IS socialism. It's the reality of socialism, while all they know is the theory of socialism. That's the difference between Bernie and Hillary, too - Bernie is a theorist, while Hillary is a crony capitalist realist. But they both want "socialism."
Oh, I disagree.
They’ve NOT had TRUE Socialism to live under. They’ve not had to wait in line, for HOURS, for basic food stuffs, to grab the LAST of XYZ, regardless if it was needed/fit (you could always trade it later, or mod), etc.
All they know and hear is FREE. When those special-little-snow-flakes have gotten participate trophies and gold stars, all their lives, they know nothing of hard work....so FREE is the catch-all.
Course, we don’t have an education system worth a bucket of warm spit, nor any ‘news’ outlets that will contrast and compare; let alone ask any IN-DEPTH questions.
Useful idiots whom won’t (might) realize the same until it’s too late.
