And thousands of Demoninion voting machines...
but, but, but we’ve never had a more talented group of Mensa warriors implement it... What could go wrong with Buttgielge, AOC, Mad Max, and rest of cabal manning the SS America Last ship.
Socialism always becomes authoritarian because people discover the giv’t spending isn’t free.
The only reason why socialism has really any appeal in the United States is that it is still now regarded as a novelty, appealing to the same sort of mentality that loved watching Monty Hall or Bob Barker or Gene Rayburn or Richard Dawson or Pat Sajak or even Alex Trebek give cash or cars or appliances or furniture or exotic vacations to those lucky people on TV. What really took place backstage afterwards is certainly not shown; in terms of having to declare such prizes won as taxable, earned income for U.S. federal and California state purposes and therefore owing such governments to one degree or another and that many as a result turn down the prizes themselves in exchange for a cash equivalent to pay the tax bill. And also that the vouchers for cars or other hard goods or airfares could only be honoured at certain places in Los Angeles (where many of those shows were taped).
The same sort of thing takes place with socialism not just with the sky high taxation, but it also really only serving the political and technocratic elite and also the public service unions who are basically bought (”stuffing their mouths with gold” as how the National Health Service was implemented in the United Kingdom) and really no one else.
This time the left will make it work. All they have to do is take the failed ideas from the French Revolution, Marx and others through today and try harder. It's sure to work this time. You just need to ignore the 200 plus years of failure and 100s of million deaths. No fear, it will work this time. They believe and will punish us until we believe. That is the socialist way.
Never has worked.
Never will work.
The only thing Marx and his company got right was that there will always be have’s and have-not under ANY system, to include Communism and Socialism.
