Dead end: Socialism is 200 years old and is leading the Democrats to doom

Democrats are on a dead end: Socialism is 200 years old and is leading these leftists to doom.

The left sealed its fate in tying itself to collectivist ideologies, but now they're joining with some very ominous allies.

Everything old is 'new' again – with a very ominous novel twist. The rising stars of socialism are bursting forth with brand-new' ideas of buying votes with other people's money.

But these days the left is in dire straits and taking a page from the Iranian revolution in teaming up with Islamists in a desperate bid to win and then sort out the details of who will wield power. For now, they say 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' – even if the Islamists would just as soon throw them off a tall building.

Socialists Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have joined with Zohran Mamdani in the perennial quest for power in offering something for nothing, for the low price of your liberty.

And for the ancient ideas of collectivism that have been tried for the past 400 years and have never worked, we easily found fresh videos that decimate these 'democratic' ideas from the past few days.

With one from Mark Levin: The REAL Reason why Communism Will NEVER Work and from Dad Saves America: Socialism Fails in Theory and Destroys in Practice - Daniel Di Martino happen to be available at the moment.

These collectivist ideologies - whatever the 'ism' of the moment (Excluding that made-up term from the left for economic freedom) – are always doomed to disaster. But they are very analogous to the similar assessments of the very same 'new' ideas from over a century ago.

Because if you ask anyone, how many times socialism (or its other collectivist variants) has been tried

“People are stupid. They will believe any lie as long as they want it to be true or are afraid it is true.”* Socialism promises earthly paradise without working for it. Stupid and lazy people WANT to believe it so they do, rejecting logic and the overwhelming evidence that socialism has never been anything but a disaster every time it’s tried.
