This guy needs to climb down off the ceiling. We get the horrors of socialism because some parts of capitalism just aren't so great - especially when capitalists take the easy way out and discover that buying politicians - who are for sale everywhere - is easier than fair competition to avoid which you buy politicians.
To keep capitalism working requires constant vigilance not just against socialists, but against wayward capitalists who make socialism look like an attractive alternative.
When you end up with a huge mortgage for college loans so you can have a job, only to do discover that you cannot get a loan for the house that you couldn't afford anyway, socialism starts to look good.
I’m not sure I follow your line of thinking. They are in the situation that you describe because they have been indoctrinated by our public school system.
Socialism, may look good, but if any clear thinking person examines the history of Socialism, or just looks at a country like Venezuela,the only conclusion that you can come to is, Socialism does not work.
No. They are in the situation they are in because of corrupt and fraudulent practices by the government, the student loan industry and universities. It is called fraudulent inducement except it is perpetrated by a public-private partnership rather than any one individual.
Take out these loans to pay for education or you will be working menial jobs the rest of your life is the proposition offered.
Communists try to set the definintion of Capitalism as well.
Bttt.

Wow, again I believe that you are missing the point:
“They are in the situation they are in because of corrupt and fraudulent practices by the government, the student loan industry and universities.”
Though your statement is accurate you fail to recognize the underlying cause. If they had not been indoctrinated by the public school system, they would understand the corruption and fight against it rather than embracing it.
We have very different views on this matter. I believe that to a large measure capitalism doesn’t exist in the US. It has degenerated into crony capitalism - the economic system actually practiced in Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. It’s a bastard second cousin of socialism. I don’t care about Venezuela. I care about here, and perpetuating here by pointing to Venezuela is not a defense of here.
