She also seems unaware of how, long before Venezuela, the “general idea” of socialism wreaked havoc in Cuba and Eastern Europe, leaden regimes from which people fled in droves.

When you are an elitist leftard, you are narcissistic and paternalistic. You hate and scorn the masses because they are losers. They are unfit for freedom and must be ruled by physical force, by a dictatorship of the omniscient omnipotent elites for their own good. Because rule by the elites is a necessity,this attitude is accompanied by tolerant sympathy and appalling indifference to the misery and suffering caused by socialism.

“”Nothing is more dangerous than a general idea in narrow and empty minds”: as they are empty, it finds no knowledge there to interfere with it.””

What great quotes throughout the article. Thanks for posting. AND:

“”She also seems unaware of how, long before Venezuela, the “general idea” of socialism wreaked havoc in Cuba and Eastern Europe, leaden regimes from which people fled in droves. Despite the yield of poverty, repression and death, the general idea prevails in the narrow, empty minds of socialist Democrats, who hail it as America’s future.””

She joins a long list of others in this country whose eyes/minds are closed to the realities of socialism. Sanders wants everyone to have access to healthcare - they already do IN OUR COUNTRY but he needs to make a trip to Venezuela to see how they’re faring in that area. Why don’t they schedule one of those diplomatic trips to Venezuela?

And don’t forget to take pallets of toilet paper with them!!

“Countries that are barren of liberties are also barren of groceries, and that has been on display in Venezuela. Socialism has bludgeoned a prosperous nation into squalor, with millions fleeing and a bemedaled thug persecuting the opposition. This reality has failed to register with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow Democrat socialists.”

Until/unless Liberals can distinguish between ‘liberty’ and ‘license’, nothing is going to change.

Whenever one of the many failures of Socialism is brought up, the socialists’ retort is always that “real” socialism hasn’t been tried.

Instead of letting that retort stand, we should challenge the socialist: Why hasn’t “real” socialism ever been tried? Surely, there has never been a lack of utopian idealists to implement it, so why have they failed, every time?

Maybe it’s not only because, as pointed out in the article, no one has the knowledge to successfully micromanage millions of people, but also because absolute power corrupts absolutely. To the Socialist dictator, nothing affirms his sense of godhood than living a life of unequaled luxury while the masses struggle to survive.

I know this is going to piss off some people around here, but social security is socialism.

If we really believed in our capitalisic system, anybody under the age of 50 should be told they are not getting social security.

Never going to happen though.
