No kidding. People are either blissfully unaware or purposely ignorant to think that a totalitarian regime is a free society. They have zero historical knowledge or perspective. How can people logically think Hard Work = Reward and All Rewards should to to the STATE to be redistributed? Don’t they understand what that does to the desire to better oneself and get ahead.
For a perfect example, look at the lazy Bernie Sanders in the Kibbutz.
Look at Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Neither have any experience outside of politics and neither possess any unique skillset (well, Barack being half-Black but he was born into that privilege) yet they have both made tens of millions of dollars and both became Presidents of the USA. They are complete Nothings. Same as Dubya Bush and his dad. In my lifetime, Reagan, Carter, Clinton, and Trump are the only Presidents that actually had to work to get in that position, and all but Carter were at first hated by their party leadership.
I don’t give Clinton credit for much, but he did go against the wishes of his party on more than one occasion and if the GOP doesn’t impeach him which rallied the Dems, Hillary never happens in the Senate or any other position.
