History repeats itself. When Nicaragua ran out of toilet paper, that was when the little people finally turned against the Sandinista communists.
People who advocate and support Socialism refuse to understand how it can never be “sustainable”, and they cling to every hope until it utterly fails. That is what happened in Soviet Union (the Worker’s Paradise), that happened in Cambodia, even China under Mao, and now it is happening once again.
Look at what this evil ideology costs in terms of blood, treasure and wasted futures. Every time. FAIL. Utter FAIL.
Socialism is attractive for as long as most people can think that "redistribution" means they get more stuff.
It loses attraction when people realize there is now nothing to redistribute.
Nah. Our elites will get it right when they get their chance. Guaranteed.
The problem in these other places is the wrong people ended up in charge. Our Socialists are smarter, more enlightened, with better intentions. They will get it right this time!
