I doubt AOC or Mamdani will read this article.
socialism is the best chance for politicians to become
trillionaires
None of the people I know who favor socialism would be content to be worker bees. They all think they should be in charge.

We let them get to the kids. Now, it seems the public is rapidly turning to the opinion: “Why not try socialism”.
I think it’s coming, fortunately, I’m going.
The coupling of socialism with the "Seven Deadly Sins" was brilliantly done, in my opinion, and I admire the brevity and direct statement of truth in this quote from the article:
"For those who outright reject moral relativism, deconstructionism, postmodernism, and critical theory in favor of universal truth, reason, logic, and fairness, socialism is obviously not up your alley."
Right now, I'm not sure if it will be socialism or mohammedism that kills the U.S.
This is the perfect seedbed for socialism to grow and fester.
I don't think there's any stopping it. Certainly the moneyed Republican "leadership" sees no reason to panic. It's just those pesky populists complaining again as usual.
Should any government spend $800,000 to give a guy in Los Angeles an apartment?
WIKI Along with Elliott, who ran for Congress in 1900, {Eugene} Debs was the first federal office candidate for the fledgling socialist party, running unsuccessfully for president the same year.[27] Debs and his running mate Job Harriman received 87,945 votes (0.6 percent of the popular vote) and no electoral votes.[28]
Following the 1900 Election, the Social Democratic Party and dissidents who had split from the Socialist Labor Party in 1899 unified forces at a Socialist Unity Convention held in Indianapolis in mid-1901 – a meeting which established the Socialist Party of America (SPA).[24]
Debs with his brother Theodore Debs while he was running for president in the 1908 election
Debs was the Socialist Party of America candidate for president in 1904, 1908, 1912, and 1920 (the final time from prison). Though he received increasing numbers of popular votes in each subsequent election, he never won any votes in the Electoral College.[29][30][31][32] In both 1904 and 1908, Debs ran with running-mate Ben Hanford. They received 402,810 votes in 1904, for 3.0 percent of the popular vote and an overall third-place finish.[29] In the 1908 election, they received a slightly higher number of votes (420,852) than in their previous run, but at 2.8 percent, a smaller percentage of the total votes cast.[30] In 1912, Debs ran with Milwaukee mayor Emil Seidel as a running mate and received 901,551 votes, which was 6.0 percent of the popular vote, which remains the all-time highest percentage of the vote for a Socialist Party candidate in a U.S. presidential election. Though Debs won no state’s electoral votes, in Florida, he came in second behind Wilson and ahead of President William Howard Taft and former President Theodore Roosevelt.[31] Being nominated a fourth time at the party’s 1920 convention, Debs ran his final presidential campaign with Seymour Stedman as his running mate. In 1920, Debs won 914,191 votes (3.4%), which remains the all-time high number of votes for a Socialist Party candidate in a U.S. presidential election. ...The size of the vote is nevertheless remarkable since Debs was at the time a federal prisoner in jail for sedition, though he promised to pardon himself if elected.
“Christopher Columbus was the first socialist: he didn’t know where he was going, he didn’t know where he was, and he did it all at taxpayers’ expense.”
Not only does the money supply run out, but the INCENTIVE to exert any effort soon disappears as well, which compounds the problem of lack of negotiable currency by a great magnitude as compared to the system which has been destroyed.
Fiat currency, the distribution of tokens, only serves the rather small cadre of authoritarian figures who are the enforcers of this compulsory scheme of scarcity. Only the most criminal of the rest of the existing underclass ever has much chance at upward mobility. And they gain that by shooting or conniving their way into the palace.
Palace revolutions are not representative republics.
Socialism starts with covetousness; the simple GREED to fan one’s ego with “generosity” at the expense of others.
I think we the people who don’t kill the socialists and eliminate the threat they pose to freedom under God is the real problem.
Why do the socialists not live in fear of rearing their disgusting heads?
Socialism is legislated government theft. I would argue through progressive taxation, social security/medicare, government deficit spending, and inflation, the US is a socialist nation.
Not only is socialism an economic failure, but inevitably it becomes despotic. Consider what happens when the socialist collective comes to take a business or family farm for “ the good of all” and the owner says no. History tells us that the all powerful state will simply take private property and its owners will be jailed or simply executed.
“ Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ”
An American was chatting (using Google translate ) with a fan from Uzbekistan here for the World Cup. The American mentioned the USSR. The Uzbek fan said that they always say “Russia” because saying “Soviet union” makes it sound like the United States of America or a country that was made up of parts that wanted to be part of a whole. He said that the people of Uzbekistan were prisoners during the Soviet era, not voluntary members of a union.
