Snappy uniforms produced by Hugo Boss the big fashion designer.

"There are also Gen-X and boomer socialism."

Yep, since at least 1933, America has been on socialist path. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, EBT, EIC the list goes on. The "Wimpy" attitude of "I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today" is found in all living American generations.

Bless her heart, her big eyes and teeth make her look low IQ. Then, she speaks and makes it a fact.

Every few years, it is the same old tripe uttered by a new fresh face (preferably a young and photogenic fresh face), pretending they just newly discovered the concept.

Even if millennials were never taught socialism and its consequences from history since birth, it is absolutely no excuse for them to remain ignorant and flocking under its banner.

They kept scoffing at people like myself of a certain age that we old fogies are technology deficient, so they could easily do a search, but they never will.

- They never lived through the Cold War and so they have no frame of reference for Socialism’s downsides.

- They are all too aware of the extensive public benefits they have in Europe and are envious of those.

- Their teachers and professors have drilled it into their heads since the larval stage that Capitalism is EEEEEVIL and is the cause of all of life’s problems.

“You can always count on the American people to do the right thing. Once they have exhausted all of the alternatives.”

- Winston Churchill

I suspect the country will go Socialist simply because it’s an alternative we have not tried yet.

What is the difference between “Democratic Socialism'' and "National Socialism''?

Well, on the one hand the "National Socialists" had really cool uniforms. On the other hand, the "Democratic Socialists" have skinny vanilla mocha lattes.

Other than that, there isn't much difference.

[frank ballenger]

No excuses for the other side.
Remember the trumpet song in the John Wayne Rio Bravo film (1959)? Show no quarter to the good guys was what it signified. Why are we giving compromise breaks to people wo will try to destroy or imprison us after beating and censoring us?

Just letting off steam. Sorry.

BTW, I figured out why the new “Democratic socialism” name.

The Left is saying as soon as they get 50.1% of the votes, it is a democratic way of socialism. No matter that 49.9% of the people are against it.

That is why there will always ‘camps’ to compel those who do not wish socialism in any shape or form.

Yeah, snappy uniforms. Them Krauts sure knew how to dress. And music too. They had some serious marching music.

[jmacusa]

Oh yeah. Way cool stuff.

GAWD....

The It Girl of the current commie/Democrat daisy chain, wide-eyed half-wit Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez...

Calling her a half-wit may be giving her too much credit. How did she ever make it through BU?! Because she's cute?!

[Rummyfan]

Free healthcare? Well, free for the people who vote for the democratic socialists.

Health care will be free; you just wont be able to see a doctor.

[Rummyfan]

In every socialist utopia, the first ones to have their brains blown out are the ones who bought it to power.

They're the naifs and idealists and they have to go so the tyrants can do what they want.

...as some like to say on reddit, "oh you sweet summer child".

Or as said Down South...

Bless her heart.
