Later questions in the section addressing socialism found a much more favorable reception among liberal respondents, however. 47 percent had a positive association with socialism, while only 13 percent felt negatively about it.
Sigh. Some people will only learn the hard way. And that means a lot of trouble for the rest of us too.
My old sig on Freerepublic:
I feel like I’m living in Dr. Zhivago, but without the love triangle.
Not positive this is true, but a recent college graduate was in a serious car accident and needed major brain surgery. When they opened the skull, all they found was an echo.
Well then you must live in a bubble or a cave
Who knew?
I think it would be a really good experience for all those airheads to spend a couple of years in Venezuela with a few side trips to Cuba.
Maybe enrollment standards in higher education should require a 90 day stay in a socialist utopia like Venezuela before filing an enrollment application?

Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives
The horror I witnessed inside the women’s “liberation” movement.
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill wrote this over a century ago.
During my junior year in high school, the nuns asked about our plans for after we graduated. When I said I was going to attend State University, I noticed their disappointment. I asked my favorite nun, “Why?” She answered, “That means you’ll leave four years later a communist and an atheist!”
What a giggle we girls had over that. “How ridiculously unsophisticated these nuns are,” we thought. Then I went to the university and four years later walked out a communist and an atheist, just as my sister Katie had six years before me.
Sometime later, I was a young divorcee with a small child. At the urging of my sister, I relocated to NYC after spending years married to an American executive stationed in Southeast Asia. The marriage over, I was making a new life for my daughter and me. Katie said, “Come to New York. We’re making revolution! Some of us are starting the National Organization of Women and you can be part of it.”
I hadn’t seen her for years. Although she had tormented me when we were youngsters, those memories were faint after my Asian traumas and the break-up of my marriage. I foolishly mistook her for sanctuary in a storm. With so much time and distance between us, I had forgotten her emotional instability.
And so began my period as an unwitting witness to history. I stayed with Kate and her lovable Japanese husband, Fumio, in a dilapidated loft on The Bowery as she finished her first book, a PhD thesis for Columbia University, “Sexual Politics.”...
Surprised it is that low after 20 yrs of brainwashing.
There are plenty of socialist utopias to choose from, go live in one, and shorten your struggle.
Meanwhile, leave the USA alone, we like it here!
Shows the brainwashing is working in the K-12 “schools,” doesn’t it?
They have NO idea what they’re fantasizing about.
Anyone who romanticizes socialism or communism should be made to spend a month in Venezuela or Cuba.
They’d come screaming back to the U.S.
There should be a work abroad summer internship required for those students. Might I recommend Cuba or some other socialist crap country.
Soon the headline will read: "Majority of employees at fast food franchises not proud to be American, favor socialism, NDSU survey finds"
My daughter recently went to Mexico with some friends. I told her “never go somewhere where the locals are trying to escape”. Keeps with Mexican army armed with machine guns, of course bad water, etc. She couldn’t get back fast enough. Her travel plans for Cuba have now been cancelled.
NEXT QUESTION:
Is there any country in the world which you would be proud to be a citizen of? And why?
Dumbstruck.
Regards,
I recall reading an interview with John Wayne and he said that even he favoured liberalism and socialism when he was a young college student.
“””This response was generated from a nationwide survey which asked over 400,000 students from more than 1,000 American college campuses”””
The question I have is this: How many of the 400,000 students identified themselves as being liberal?
Did 90% identify as liberal or did 10% identify as liberal among the 400,000 surveyed?
Yuri Bezmenov
Then I recommend they make a permanent transition to Venezuela.
I’m grateful to be an American, but I’m not proud of the people who represent us at the Federal level.
