The Democrats’ socialist candidate for President of the United States, Bernie Sanders, was seriously tripped up this week in an interview with Univision’s León Krauze.
When asked to explain the failure of socialist governments in Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil, Sanders completely clammed up, saying he has an opinion on the subject, but was unwilling to share it, as he is “focused on my campaign.”

Bernie got the hell off John and Ken radio show just now when they started querying him how would the govt run all health care when these egregious neglects are happening in the VA. He suddenly had to go. He can’t answer, which is kind of telling. He just kept saying you do the best you can.
His opinion is that it'd be great to try here too. And he knows what would happen to his campaign if he expresses it.
Oscar Wilde is widely quoted on the topic of first and second marriages, but I think it's pertinent to socialists and their favorite fantasy: "Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience." With socialism we're at the "triumph of stupidity over severe physical pain" point.
Yeah. Bernie is a committed communist. He, like all others, feels that these failures just mean that communism wasn’t implemented correctly in those countries. Give him a chance, and he’ll implement it here. Of course, it will fail, and he will just say that we didn’t do it right, and that we have to try again, but this time implement a stronger version of communism.
The only way, (to my mind), that communism as a concept ‘works’ when applied to humans is to fundamentally change humanity into a ‘Hive complex’ where each member of the hive has a job and does it without complaint or thought of disobedience.
Workers on the bottom supporting the ‘high life’ of the upper castes in other words. It’s only because God gave us ‘Free Will’ that the concept of Communism falters and then ‘crashes and burns’ on the anvil of reality.
