EVERYTHING Socialists/Communsits/Democratic-Socialists want to "redistribute" is produced by capitalism.

Socialism/Communism/Democratic-Socialism can only exist as a parasite of capitalism.

When the wisdom of the ages is prohibited, the emotional simplicity of adolescence will masquerade in its place.

If socialism is so great, why the hell does the WaPo Wackos charge to subscribe to their propaganda rag. It should be free. Free, free, free.

Author is herself a socialist/communist

She thinks socialism isn’t about what it’s really about

I defer to Margaret Thatcher on Socialism.

"Socialism is wonderful until you run out of other people's money " Which history has proven to be the case over, and over, and over.

Burn the paper to the ground.

Socialism is NOT democratic in any definition of the word (but note they have to say that Socialism has multiple meanings to supplant their “Not true socialism” defense when it fails as it always does.)

Why don’t all these treasonous Marxist RATs immediately move themselves and their families, bag and baggage, to Venezuela or Cuba since they love Communism so much. I don’t see any of them hurrying down there yet, do you?

Everybody over 25 knows that socialism doesn’t work.

Anybody over 25 advocating for socialism is just a thief.

One thing about Socialism that is absolutely NOT a myth:

They will tell whatever lies are necessary to impose their ideology.

Socialists have their own version of Islamic Taqiyyah. There is no justification whatsoever to believe ANYTHING a socialist, Marxist, communist or Muslim has to say. Their accepted practices have disqualified their veracity many times over.

A few TRUTHS about socialism. It causes severe slothfulness in the population and you eventually run out of OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY. Having the government bureaucrats take total control over your life isn’t a good thing either. Socialism also causes the entire population of a country to form “caravans” and illegally sneak into capitalist, non third world countries. You can take that to the bank. EVERY illegal alien who leaves their socialist homeland and comes to AMERICA says they did it to provide “A BETTER LIFE” for themselves and their family. The final truth is, SOCIALISM SUCKS.

One distinction centers on whether socialism is a system that must supplant capitalism or one that can harness the market’s immense productive capacity for progressive ends.

I think the kind of socialism that can "Harness ...productive capacity..." is usually called Fascism.

The pillars of communism / socialism are lies, envy, hatred, theft, and murder. Ultimately communism / socialism forms what resembles a feudal system with a very small aristocracy, usually headed by a strong man, at the top and the rest of the population their slaves in one form or another.

They expect to be part of the socialist aristocracy. Dangerous fools that they are.

Socialism is envy disguised as altruism.

Karl Marx, who predicted that historical forces would inevitably lead to capitalism’s demise and to government control of industry...

The textbook definition of fascism.
