Socialism in theory = equality

Socialism in practice = kleptocracy

We once were a great meritocracy
A beacon of hope and democracy
But the socialist left
Thugs who major in theft
Have turned us into a kleptocracy

Maury Givens, our former mayor, was like a drunk left alone in a bar all night.
When accused of running a kleptocracy, he said no, he only gave the sheep a trim not a full shearing.
Sort of a “clip-tocracy” instead of a “kleptocracy”, said Maury.
Now no more Givens means No Maury givin’...to himself.

kleptocracy (klep-TOK-ruh-see) noun:
A government by the corrupt in which rulers use their official positions for personal gain.

Which we personalize here by calling it "The Chicago Way".

Inherent corruption leads to crony capitalism which leads to full-blown kleptocracy.
