And everybody should have a pony, and a bazillion dollars and no one should ever have to work again and oh... world peace no disease or fat people cause everyone will be gorgeous with free plastic surgery and no one will ever have to eat brussel sprouts again.

That isn’t an article, it’s a stoned dorm room conversation. “Share the land, man.” Right. Get out your farming tools, sonny.

Do they not remember Greece, Spain, Portugal? Greece is in a heck of a fix because of this and that was a year or two ago. This is insanity.

Oh no, those dozen or so old dirty hippies that still read Rolling Stone might read the article...and immediately forget it.

I am sad to report that yes, there would be a benefit to socialism, with respect to the demise of a certain washed-up “rock and roll” magazine that hasn’t been relevant since they put Dr. Hook on the cover back in ‘73.

intresting that the only people who advocate socialism are people who have never lived under it and can’t escape it.

"Rolling Stone: America Should Replace Capitalism With Socialism"

Gotta love how leftist rags- that nowadays rely almost solely on advertising revenues from eeevil profit-seeking companies to stay afloat- are always so rabidly anti-capitalist...

Rolling Stone: why wait? If you hate capitalism why don’t you begin distributing your rag for free?

That is, if they remain in business. Dictators work on whims. I would be careful Rolling Stone. You may get what you think you wish for.

The only field in which Rollong Stone has less credibility than economics is music.

LOL!!

Rolling Stone became irrelevant after Hunter Thompson’s and Ben Fong Torres” writing stopped being publish by the rag. Around 1970, I believe.

Hahaha, this has as much credibility as Paul Krugman. Even middle school economics are lost on these idiots. Another attempt to resuscitate a magazine with less circulation than barbed wire catalogs.

I think every rich socialist should pay for what they want. Every democrat worth more then $250k should pay 100% of their wealth to the government. Pay back is a b1 tch

Try an experiment... round up all of the Rolling Stone employees, confiscate all of their homes and other “real” properties, put them all in section 8 housing, allot them equal pay $4 - $5 per hour but only if they work 60 hours a week in a job they all do, minimal bread, water, flour, rice, beans and an occasional horse they can slaughter and see how they’d prefer to live 4 years later.
