But socialism would work great if the Right People were in charge!!!
The problem with socialism is with each passing generation of useful idiots it needs to be marketed and repackaged as something new and REVOLUTIONARY. A lot like those sleazy late-night infomercials pushing the same old get-rich-quick scams as something new and innovative. Whether it’s buying real estate with no money down. Or making a killing in the market whether stocks are going up down or sideways. Selling the latest snake oil while building a downline or some other unrealistic unworkable mathematically impossible MLM/pyramid racket. They’ll tell you not to listen to the skeptics and “dream stealers” other systems failed because they were implemented wrong by the wrong people but THEY have a PROVEN SYSTEM that works, trust them. Sound familiar?
