This is my message of the day:
When a million Russian Jews migrate to Israel in the 90’s, they said NIET to socialism: they knew it. When the French elected a president in 2017, they said NON to socialism: they just had five years of it with François Hollande. Unfortunately, the democratic socialists never had socialism: so they want it.
President Reagan said: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction”. If socialism ever takes ground – thanks to US Colleges – it will prove him right.
Bernie Sanders take Scandinavian countries as an example of socialism success. Lefties take him for granted. But Bernie Sanders is known for his intellectual laziness:
Story continues below advertisement
- He said that Israel killed “over 10,000 innocent people” during the 2014 Gaza War. The actual number of dead was well below 2,500, even according to Hamas, and they included both civilians and warriors.
- Sanders never checks what he says. If he did, he would know that Scandinavian country’s economy don’t run on socialism.
Some may ask: why Bernie Sanders use Scandinavia as an example of socialism when it’s economy is more free market than the United States?
Answer: because no one, in the media, challenges him with the facts (or they never fact checked it). And because College professors instill a romanticized perfect world of Socialism in progressive minds, a dream they don’t want to wake up from.
- “To begin with”, explains Swedish scholar Nima Sanandaji, “the affluence and cultural norms upon which Scandinavia’s social-democratic policies rest are not the product of socialism. The Nordic nations’ prosperity “developed during periods characterized by free-market policies, low or moderate taxes, and limited state involvement in the economy.”
- In 1975, Sweden had been the fourth-wealthiest nation on earth (as measured by GDP per capita);
- By 1993, it had dropped to 14th. By then, Swedes had begun to regard their experiment with socialism as, in Sanandaji’s phrase, “a colossal failure.”
- In the Scandinavian countries, the means of production are primarily owned by private individuals, like Ikea, Nokia or H&M, not the community or the government.
In response to Bernie Sanders referring to his country as socialist, the prime minister of Denmark wanted to set the record straight during a lecture at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government:
“I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.”
Poor Bernie! He wants state-owned companies!
In Socialist Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro named a National Guard general with no oil experience in November 2017 to lead Petroleos de Venezuela SA, the state-owned oil company. One year later, “the once-profitable and respected company is heading towards ruin” wrote Alexandra Ulmer in a piece for Reuters on December 26, 2018. Oil! We are talking about oil! One of the most profitable business on earth.
When a million Russian Jews migrate to Israel in the 90’s, they said NIET to socialism: they knew it….

Socialism cannot cure senility either.

Call it socialism or differently, we need an authoritarian global totalitarianism to seperate the truth from the lies, what’s good from what’s whack, to seperate an ethical new global system from the Muhammadist censorshipdatorship hiding behind freedom & neutrality.
We must define neutrality so it doesn’t advance the injustice of the Muhammad-law in any way & doesn’t perpetuate the censorship that hides the truth about unjust Muhammad & the Muhammadist tyranny.
We should all wonder how socialism failed to bring forth an ethical system that upholds the ethical values of truth, ecology, friendliness, love, justice, cultivation of ecological best quality basics & support for self-realization.
The failure must had been a result of boycott & ostracism of talented people. We shouldn’t pretend that that doesn’t exist in the free-market capitalism.
The failed Russian communists not just supported the unjust Muhammadism they also imposed the Russian language on people, ignoring that American English is the undisputed world-language & the unjust Muhammadism a catastrophe.
The benefits of automization can only be harvested if utilized in a global & intelligent way.

While I understand what you have written the question arises WHO is going to determine WHO is going to comprise the authoritarian global totalitarianism and prevent “power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely”?
American English is NOT the undisputed world language. It is British English as evidenced by the British Council being in almost every country teaching English. America has no counterpart. And the main publishers of English (as a second language) learning books are Oxford Press and Pearson-Longman both of which are in the U.K.

Swedes will learn … once you have sold out your nation to the Left … the only way out is through the drain. Venezuela, or Brazil, or Guatemala, or Zimbabwe, or Bangladesh, or Cambodia, or whatever … it’s always down the tubes.
In the case of Sweden, my bet is it will look like Lebanon, and then Libya, and then Somalia.
But that’s just me.

I’ve had many friends/colleagues from Sweden …
and I hope the best for them. And I hope you’re right.
But if they don’t cure their Left-wing mental disorder …
it’s only a matter of time. …
I’ve also worked with several engineers from Venezuela …
they were great guys with beautiful families. Smart, hard workers, and wonderful pictures from home … 30 years later Venezuela is an outhouse.

Obama was doing that here. Think about the GM bailout with our tax dollars. Did you get a check from GM?
Oh they just wanted your money. Did you have a say in that? Never mind! Now you know why DEMS and RINOS don’t have a problem with monopolies that push the liberal agenda – Twitter, Face Book, etc.. Are our representatives rushing to break them up, punishing them for trying to be judge and jury for “free speech” or regulating them? There is plenty of evidence of conservatives being silenced.
What about Solyndra ? That was also paid for by our tax dollars. Through government subsidies, tax payers, were left with $535 million in federal guaranteed loans. Solyndra collapsed. The Chinese bought it for pennies on a dollar.

Nobody wants socialism except Bernie and Hillaryous. That already sounds like a comedy team. Yeah, socialism is a JOKE!
They BOTH know it does not work. All socialist do. But they want it anyway because they can put a BOOT on your gawddamn necks. Did I tell you they are sadist of humans? Love to put human misery and suffering on you ALL!
They (the sociopaths) would love to do this to America for making the world much richer materialistically and better off than it ever could be despite having sociopaths rule their country and stymie their people in every way.
Why do you think the Negro LIED to you about his PHONY obamacared(?). Openly LIED to you. He had the nerve to do that. Yet people still admire the lying Negro.
But no more so than the flies around his mouth. I think they know bull sh it when they smell one.

It sounds as though Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has honed her intellectual ignorance at Bernie’s knee.
Margaret Thatcher had it right, the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.

Nearly four million Venezuelans have been forced to emigrate to escape the poverty,chaos, and violence of the Maduro regime. The economy is collapsing by the day and the only way maduro can stay in power is by turning his country into a Castro type Cuba. This will NOT be allowed by its neighbors, Brazil And Columbia. I expect a regional war and revolution to erupt in 2019.

Don’t forget there is another “Bernie” and her name is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AKA: Occasional Cortex) who is a member of the Democrat Socialists of American (DSA) and she is now in the House making the same mistakes as Bernie. Unfortunately most Americans do not see the lie when Bernie or AOC use Europe as an example.

Any normal person could take one look at Bernie and see that the elevator does not quite make it to the top floor. President of the United States? He spouts the party spiel, so they think he’s a genius.
