Socialism and all it's derivatives have been complete failures throughout history. We now require something well beyond the tyranny that all governments of any kind regularly dish out to their slave citizens, including that of the US. Maybe something that transcends the pettiness and arrogance of mankind.

Agreed. Socialism—>Communism is the demonic philosophy of criminals.

We definitely need a new paradigm for governance. Politicians and bureaucrats are supposed to be doing the People’s business. Just as with capitalism, it’s not the system that is the problem so much as it is corruption. We need to both build a better, more resilient system AND root out corruption in all forms and levels of society.

I a column about why are we following a failed doctrine that history has shown it has failed! The soviet Union and Mao's China! So why now are we following this doctrine via the Biden Administration and then the projected Harris administration.. This is recent history. So I am stunned and shocked by this luv of socialism/communism. I am stunned every time harris mentioned price controls.....

It never ceases to amaze that those who want Socialism do not move to Socialist countries. It would be far easier than turning this country Socialist. That is, until we realize it isn't about then being Socialist as much as it is about us not enjoying freedom.

Sure, we could also talk about how the earth is flat and how the moon landings were fake, and if we throw in Socialism (because it’s never really been tried, you know, by the right people, you know), we have the perfect idiot trifecta.

You gave me hope this morning that not everybody is a moron. I needed that. I think I love you.

Flat Earth - Nah.

Socialism - Not a chance.

Moon landings - not sure on that one.

I was a true believer that 9/11 was an unforeseen attack by Islamic terrorists, Iraq was justified and that we allies were always the good guys in WW2.

Then I read about JFK, learned some terrible truths about our behaviour in WW2, read the lengthy list of inexplicable anomalies and "errors" on 9/11 and discovered that America really, really wanted an excuse to go into Iraq, Libya, Syria and Iran.

The US has been a master of deception for decades, so I am open to the idea that the Moon landings happened, but also to the fact that America desperately needed to beat those pesky Soviets to the prize, in any way possible.
