Socialism Ain't IT



Dystopia: Venezuelans Are Now Killing Cats, Dogs, And Pigeons For Food Because Socialism Can’t Provide

How many people in so many countries have to suffer before we get this through our heads?

The North Korean people routinely eat tree bark during the cold winters. The government hands out recipes.

And the interesting thing is that all of the communist university professors talk about how wonderful it is while living in fancy homes and eating like kings in capitalism.

LL: It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be. Admittedly, I'm not big on history because I prefer to read about science-related fields so I figure if I can see something so obvious, it should be intuitively obvious to everyone else. Guess not.

Everything is good until the money runs out. Then it's horrible. People are stupid. They really are if they think socialism will work. It's never worked. Only for the elite. Everyone else ends up with nothing.

Have a fabulous day. ☺

I've read a lot of history and socialism and communism have never worked when other people's money ran out. Anyone with the brain of a carrot should be able to figure out that there is no free stuff.

Sandee: You sound like good ole Maggie Thatcher. We could certainly use her wisdom right now. Our bonehead in chief has given entitlements galore and once people are used to entitlements, it's holy hell to think they're going to give them up without a fight.

Jan: You're right. It's never worked and, knowing human nature, never will.

It's very simple. The math doesn't work. Those who profit from it don't care, though.

Access was denied me to the link but from your title, I am very grateful for the people to have dogs, cats, pigeons for food sources. We do the best we can in trying circumstances.

Kid: Yikes! That's a creepy jpg.

Messymimi: So true.

Granny Annie: Sorry to hear about your problems. Computers can get cranky sometimes. Free elections are very important. I feel for those poor who don't have a choice but watch their countries crumble.
