Socialist central planning has not worked very well in all the countries in which it has been tried, most recently in Venezuela
Recently Bernie Sanders was asked the following question during a townhall meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire, by Harvard student, Samantha Frankel-Popell, whose father had fled the former Soviet Union.
“My father’s family left Soviet Russia in 1979 fleeing from some of the very same socialist policies that you seem eager to implement in this country.” She followed up with the question, “How do you rectify your notion of Democratic socialism with the failures of socialism in nearly every country that has tried it?”
Socialism is what you get when you reject God. Any knowledge of the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent shines a light on what socialism is all about.
“he’s (Sanders) a damned liar on top of it.”
That is the old school American Communist - they knew enough to hide their real intentions.
“Is it your assumption that I supported or believe in authoritarian communism that existed in the Soviet Union? I don’t. I never have, and I opposed it.”
Then why take your honeymoon in Soviet Russia during the height of the cold war? Doesn’t pass the smell test.
Danny Elfman summed it up best:
Capitalism - Oingo Boingo
There’s nothing wrong with Capitalism
There’s nothing wrong with free enterprise
Don’t try to make me feel guilty
I’m so tired of hearing you cry
There’s nothing wrong with making some profit
If you ask me I’ll say it’s just fine
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to live nice
I’m so tired of hearing you whine
About the revolution
Bringin’ down the rich
When was the last time you dug a ditch, baby!
If it ain’t one thing
Then it’s the other
Any cause that crosses your path
Your heart bleeds for anyone’s brother
I’ve got to tell you you’re a pain in the ass
You criticize with plenty of vigor
You rationalize everything that you do
With catchy phrases and heavy quotations
And everybody is crazy but you
You’re just a middle class, socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And you tell me that we’ve got to get back
To the struggling masses (whoever they are)
You talk, talk, talk about suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain . . .
There’s nothing wrong with Capitalism
