History Is Clear: Socialism Isn't the Cure. So Why Do Millennials Like It?​


Immigration and College Debt Make America Vulnerable to Socialism
11/07/2019 ~ By Victor Davis Hanson
Multiple forms of socialism, from hard Stalinism to European redistribution, continue to fail. Russia and China are still struggling with the legacy of genocidal communism. Eastern Europe still suffers after decades of Soviet-imposed socialist chaos. Cuba, Nicaragua, North Korea and Venezuela are unfree, poor and failed states. Baathism -- a synonym for pan-Arabic socialism -- ruined the postwar Middle East.
Regrettably, sometimes the naïve and disaffected must relearn that their pie-in-the sky socialist medicine is far worse than the perceived malady of inequality.
And unfortunately, when socialists gain power, they don't destroy just themselves. They usually take everyone else down with them as well.

Comment:
Why do polls show that a majority of American millennials have a favorable view of socialism? Because they've been indoctrinated in schools, work is hard and doesn’t leave enough time to smoke weed, play video games and jack off with their buddies.
the appeal of socialism is that it allows the rich and the poor to loot the middle class, while feeling virtuous for doing so. It's a rigged game when you can give away other people's money and feel good for doing so. See Venezuela.
"History is clear." Well, that's the problem... millennials don't know anything about history. Socialist infiltrated educators deny the teaching of history to our young or revise history to suit their ideology. Seriously, though, Socialism is religion for people who think themselves too sophisticated for religion.
The young are indoctrinated to believe in Progressivism, Socialism, and Atheism from elementary school onward. Most lack the surroundings to counter this 40 hour a week gulag. It was either Hitler or Stalin that described education as a weapon and Democrats have been following that lead for a half century now.
Finally, the lack of upward mobility in society thanks to NIRP/ZIRP, corporate M&A activity resulting in oligopolistic economic sectors, outsourcing, the mass importation of foreign labor, and the progressive tax code has resulted in a great deal of disillusionment with regards to capitalism. If Capitalism begins to resemble feudalism, then socialism gains an audience.
Margaret Thatcher once said that "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." She was and is correct.

You would leave America if we abandoned socialism

Bingo. Once people stop believing that the system is fair, they’ll embrace anything that promises change.

Well, I've already left New York for the same reason. I now live in North Carolina. My neighbors strangely have left New York for the same reasons.

North Carolina, like every state, is rife with socialism

Because all they have known for their entire life is sitting in classrooms and listening to what all their liberal political arts teachers say.
