Socialism fails.
socialism is not about solving problems; It is about shifting power from individuals to the state.
And once the state has that power it never gives it back.
Socialism is not a future vision; It is a recurring nightmare.
It has failed every time it has been tried, not because of poor implementation, but
because its core assumptions of our human nature, incentives and economics are wrong.
As I've often said, much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved
replacing what worked with what sounded good. Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez are not new thinkers, they are the latest in a long line of ideologues who trade in promises and
reap in power. And unless Americans learn the real history, not the sanitized slogans we are doomed to repeat the
mistakes of the past. Socialism is not compassion, it is coercion. It is not justice, it is jealousy. It is not
progress it is regression.
