Socialist students at Kent State refuse to take part in 'capitalist vs. socialist food drive'
Fox News ^ | Nov. 14, 2017 | Caleb Parke

Two capitalist groups at Kent State University invited student socialist groups on campus to a canned food face-off – hoping the two sides could briefly put their political beliefs aside for a common good.

The groups, Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) and Turning Point USA (TPUSA), sent out a joint invitation to two socialist groups, the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) and Socialist Collective, ahead of a campus-wide canned food drive ending this Friday.

“We decided to engage in a friendly challenge in hopes to increase donations overall because a challenge is always a way to get people active and willing to participate, and to ease tensions that have been prevalent,” TPUSA chapter president, Kaitlin Bennett told Fox News.

But the socialist groups refused to take part in the “capitalists vs. socialists canned food drive,” saying they would not participate in an event with a group with “dangerous” views.

“While this event would benefit the public greatly,” the YDSA club said, they “do not work with organizations that promote/endorse figures who do promote sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, Zionism, or any other intolerant dangerous belief.”

So socialism raised zero food. Irony can really be ironic sometimes.

That’s why there are more starving people in Socialist countries. Only the well-connected eat enough.

I remember that old scoreboard from way back when...

National Guard 4, Kent State 0

Socialists; can’t live with ‘em, can’t shoot ‘em (any more).

“So socialism raised zero food. Irony can really be ironic sometimes.”
***************************
The socialists plan is to later seize the food the capitalists raised and distribute it themselves—after first skimming off all the best for themselves.

This makes perfect sense to me. Why would a socialist contribute to a food drive anyway.

That’s the State’s job.

We are Socialists, we are enemies of today’s
capitalistic economic system for the exploitation
of the economically weak, with it’s unfair salaries,
with it’s unseemly evaluation of a human being
according to wealth and property instead of
responsibility and performance, and we are all
determined to destroy this system under all conditions.
