Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich Are Confused by Economics. And Government. And Reality

Socialism is a failed ideology. It was the avant-garde approach to how to do government in the petri dish that conquered, infiltrated or ingratiated themselves with many other nations to establish them as additional petri dishes (Hello, Cuba). We certainly now have a large enough, long enough sample set - and the results are in. The system is contaminated - Socialism does not work.
Twentieth Century. The Soviet Union was the flagship

Socialists feebly cry “But they weren’t Socialist - they were Communist,” which is a distinction with very little difference. Communism is Socialism - with a boot in the neck. The Communist boot is almost always ultimately necessary - because people eventually figure out Socialism stinks on ice, which is why so many peaceful Socialist experiments end up as Communist totalitarian regimes. See: Orwell, George.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans attend government schools. As Neal Boortz rightly notes: “If you go to a Catholic school - you get a pro-Catholic education. So if you go to a government school - you get a pro-government education.” Our government school system doesn’t teach that Socialism stinks on ice. They have for decades defied evidence - and declared Socialism to be great. (And our colleges are at least as bad - if not worse.)

Ignorance replicated resonates. Flash forward to today: Avowed Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders is a force in the Democrat presidential primary. Little known factoid: When in the Senate, primary opponent Hillary Clinton was only 0.1% less Left than Sanders. And they were ranked Numbers 15 and 13 respectively in the Democrat caucus - meaning there were a dozen Senators more Left than them. Know why Democrat National Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz can’t distinguish between a Democrat and a Socialist? Because they are indistinguishable.
