One summer many years ago I worked as a go fer at a parts store. One of our regular customers was the go to guy when it came to German cars. We nicknamed him Sputnik, because years earlier he, his wife and then newborn son escaped E Berlin just as the wall was going up. If socialism is such an ideal utopia of sunshine, lollipops and everything wonderful then why wa that damn wall built in the first place? To keep the Mexicans out?

They have definitely been misdiagnosed and are taking the wrong medications...

Miseducated
Their “teachers” should be tarred and feathered all across America.
And in California, too.

Since the days of LBJ, the children have been brainwashed. They are now the voting adults...and it's only going to get worse. The have nots outnumber the workers.
Read 55 Men and the Constitution by Rodell.
He explains the shortcomings we might attain and it's EXACTLY what is happening and that we were warned.

In general, these are people who are always told that the government can give you free things, and it doesn’t cost anything. Somewhere around age thirty....some reality sets in and more than half of this bunch then realize that it’s all a fraud.
I think if you’d just require ‘Animal Farm’ to be read around the ninth grade and openly discussed in some high school history class....things would quickly straighten themselves out.

Brainwashed by the progressive/socialist (communist) school system, government and media.

Has anyone told them that socialists do not own personal property?
Or, that when the Iron Curtain fell, the people of the Soviet Union did not know the meaning of the word ‘profit’?

The good news is that the Millennials are getting older. So the indoctrination should be wearing off, albeit slowly.

Bingo! Think a lot of people can’t be evil? Check out Germany 1935-45.

Both and throw in greedy as well. Something for nothing is a powerful lure.

There is a powerful tendency in the human mind to believe that the more complex the world is, the more centralized management and design is needed to keep things from falling apart. Spontaneous order is how things work, but people have difficulty grasping this.

We must hope they figure it out before they get real control otherwise they will destroy what’s left and then then wonder what the hell happened.
To: Impala64ssa
They are evil - they wish to do harm because they HATE America, Whites, etc.

Real answer? = Yes & No.
Some are very intelligent people, who do not see the big picture, or the result that awaits this method of governance.
Their most common response is ‘Real Socialism has not been done the right way yet, so THAT’S why it fails miserably everytime it’s attempted in real life.
Maduro is doing it ‘wrong’.
Mugabe did it ‘wrong’
Castro was ‘misinterpreted’.
Lenin & Stalin are being ‘misreported and wrongly vilified’
Obama was ‘Ahead of his time’.
Bernie Sanders was ‘too late to the game and way too nice’.
