I thought THIS might, just might, wake my 30 year old daughter from her infatuation with Bernie and “democratic socialism.” I pointed out that this is the logical end-state of all “socialistic” experiments the past 100 years. Her response was predictably naive. I will be waiting forever for the scales to fall from her eyes.
I hope she doesn’t have to live through a starvation event and social collapse before she learns. It’s not as if this hasn’t come through in cycles for centuries, and it always ends with guillotines, gulags, gas chambers, and lao gai camps in China today.
