“We interviewed students in D.C. to get their opinions on Socialism. Yes, they love it. No, they’re not too sure why. Watch them try to define what socialism is….”
Wow. That was dumb. That was really, really dumb. Dumb has been equally redistributed.

Socialism is essentially taxing the productive to subsidize the unproductive. It works great until you run out of other people’s money. Ask the Venezuelans.
Unstated in any definition though is that socialism is a first step to an authoritarian form of government.

Students, not like these students, but more aggressive types, have indignantly demanded of me “what is wrong with socialism?” The answer that actually leaves them without words is this–a socialist is a communist without a gun.

“Socialism is the system of social organization in which private property and the distribution of income are subject to social control; it also refers to the political movements aimed at putting that system into practice.” – Ludwig Von Mises
It necessitates the government owning the means of production and run by bureaucrats with political motivations rather than the economic reality of the marketplace.
It is, and always has been doomed to failure. Socialism = Venezuela.

The system necessitates the government owning the means of production, and managed by kiss-ass bureaucrats out of political motivation rather than the economic reality of the marketplace.
Remember, children are used to things being given to them.
Adults are used to things being stolen from them by the gov’t.
These people are in between the two.
Adult bodies with child brains.
The legal age of maturity should be raised to the age you are when you have completed 10 continuous years of enduring gov’t theft.

Pathetic that college students are starting sentences with “I mean” and “You know”. Pfffft.

On the other hand, how many 50, 60, 70+ year olds still love socialism, because you know, it’s never been implemented correctly?
Socialism is Communism light. Confiscation of the means of production.
IOW, it is fundamentally opposed to private ownership. We live in a country, right now, that is mostly divided about the 2 policies. Private ownership is the status quo, however to the progs in DC, all the money belongs to the government. That you get to keep any is either an oversight, failing or a temporary means of disbursement that saves on organizational effort.
All the more reason to hold congress as corrupt, and to vote every last one out of office. We are *congress* now.
“vote every last one out of office”
=======================
You’re not allowed to throw thieves out, you can only hire new ones who then replace the old ones.
Quite an ever losing scam, no?
“We are *congress* now.”

Only over yourself.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

This coddled & selfie-loving generation believes socialism has something to do with Fakebook, Twaddle, & Snotchat: clueless & useless.
That’s why you do not listen to youth – their enthusiasm outstrips their sense.
Wow. That was dumb. That was really, really dumb. Dumb has been equally redistributed.
