Once you become the leader of a Socialist/Communist country, then you are in charge. You are responsible. You have to make the magic happen.
But you can’t.
There is no magic.
You can’t provide everything to everyone.
So, what do you do?
You reduce the number of people you have to take care of.
You also blame the problems on foreigners.
One of the kids in my neighborhood when I was growing up believed in magic. He really did.
He thought that if he put on a black cape and waved a wand, he could magically make things happen.
The last time I saw him, he was working as a waiter.
Not so magical.
I grew up in the Age when phrases like “the only good Commie is a dead Commie” and “kill a Commie for your Mommy” were on Bumper stickers.
In today’s America, half the Population would think you were talking about them.
They are the people the anticommunists were struggling to prevent.
Or as I’ve been saying: When stupidity becomes common in a culture it will be the stupedist stupidity available.
These are frequently that same people onboard with the gender letter lunacy ... so they’re running at the ragged edge of stupid in more ways than just being socialists.
They are treasonous.
Capitalism produces EVERYTHING Democrats/socialists/communists wish to “redistribute.”
Democrats/socialists/communists run out of things to “redistribute” the minute they succeed in destroying capitalism.
Case in point; Venezuela.
Mislead with average intelligence that they believe is well above average.
“why was that damn wall built in the first place? To keep the Mexicans out?”
Well, lets face facts here. After they built the Berlin wall, East Germany never had a problem with illegal aliens from Mexico since then. ;-)
The cold, hard fact of this world is
There are people in this world who want what you have, even if you don’t think it’s that much, and they don’t give a shit if you die in order for them to get it.
Yes, and yes.
The answer is right at the start. All younger generations seem to be stupid and useless, this one pervasively so as time goes on.
The issue is they feel they have gotten screwed. This is because the media and social media has made them jealous. The covet my house. But they don’t covet the payments. Or the work that went into making them during hard times.
They think they are smarter. They think they are better. They don’t understand why they don’t “get” the same stuff.
This jealousy leads to socialism, where we “can give up” just to give them a taste.
Both.
They are freeloading maggots who want to sit on their ass and do nothing for their entire life. Real POS.
Evil.
Both. If they weren’t stupid, the miseducation wouldn’t succeed.
It isn’t stupidity - it is deliberate mis-education.
If someone hears about the horrors of Communism like the gulags of Communist Russia, it is only in college, not before. But they’ve heard how Communism and social justice is fair, moral, good, kind, takes care of everyone, etc for years before that.
For example, they’ll have heard for six years how Soviet women were more likely to be engineers than modern American women, how China is so much better at civic planning - but they don’t hear about the forced abortions or re-education camps of Urgyurs today.
Thus they’ve only heard the good and praises for it, but never the bad. So they can’t help but think it IS good ... by design, by the liberal authoritarians who want to implement such a system here and intentionally never criticize the ideology they admire.
BOTH, yo!
Can’t we just give everyone who believes that a one-way ticket to Venezuela?
