The promise of free chit is beguiling. Desperate and failing and abused people crave it to rescue them. By the time socialists have wrecked the economy completely the failure of conservatives to immediately correct that is viewed as yet another failure.
What is the distinction between socialism and communism? I can’t see much if any at all.
You would think that after having watched how communism has fizzled in other countries that they would have learned something by now. Communism has failed wherever it has been tried as far as I can see. How old do you have to be to see that? Older than enough to vote?
