That’s why socialism always has to be imposed by force. It goes against human nature.

“Wanna bet?”

The public is changing as ever more indoctrinated fools graduate the camps.

AOC and Bernie are the future.

are we still pretending that this is about economic theories? The Left has figured out how to spread its poison using the private sector just as effectively as it uses the government. Hollywood has been on the cutting edge of this innovation.

They want US to live as socialists, but they’re still limousine liberals.

Apparently not, given the last election. Even if the tipping point votes were stolen, tens of millions of people voted for biteme and the whore, who are puppets for and/or proponents of aoc-style capitalism — “capitalism for me but not for thee.”

The people who want socialism are people who want really to have communism. I wish all of them would go to any other country they want to go to; there are many already set up the way they want.

Why the sun will rise in the west tomorrow. Quite evidently they do want that style of socialism. They voted for it or didn't squawk when those who cast their vote and counted their vote determined that was what what they wanted

I beg to differ. I believe half the country are true believers or at least accept the premise of socialism and other isms. They are that stupid and very dangerous as a voting bloc lead by the most evil and contemptible American enemy in its history.
