Yeah. Socialism died in the USSR. Took it 70+ years, and decimated a third of Asia, all of Eastern Europe, and much of South America and the Carribean. There’s only so many of those victories you can afford.
I fear that the reports of it’s death are greatly exaggerated. There are always more scum looking to grab the power that comes at the top of a socialist heap, and masses of useful idiots willing to buy into the theory. Often, so they can “help the downtrodden masses.”
Every confidence game requires two things. A confidence trickster on one side, and a willing mark on the other.
The willing mark is such because he wants something for nothing. What he and the trickster have in common is that, as Ayn Rand said, neither one of them really wants to live, they both want to get away with living, which is something fundamentally different.
To quote someone else who knew human nature extremely well, you really can’t cheat an honest man. Just a sucker or a chump.
One would think that after 400 years of the failure of socialism to provide anything more than privation, misery, and fear, that they would give up the experiment. It seems not enough people are ridiculing those who push socialism as a means to solve “all the problems” when any of us who have been paying attention realize it has been creating “all the problems” to begin with. Then again, the reason socialism has been using the ‘hard sell’ on the young is because they are ignorant and gullible and don’t know any better and they like the idea of “free s**t”. Of course once they realize the free s**t isn’t really free it’s usually too late.
I had a GOP-e fundraiser call me yesterday. I started off by laughing at him. I informed him he had a snowballs chance in hell of getting a thin dime out of me. Then went down the list of how the GOP-e is part of the uni-party, and doesn’t give a rat’s ass what I think or want. I countered every attempt he had about stopping Xi-Biden. He ended with “You are very well informed.” Told him I was his worse nightmare, a conservative who reads from many sources and understands what is really going on. We wished each other a good day. I surprised myself, very little profanity.
Socialism is dying? Joe Stalin was the only thing that held it together. Mao and his successors held it together. Xi is hangin’ in there, but the knots are loosening up. You have to be a true scumbag if you want to be The One Thing That Rules Them all and in fear and darkness, binds them. (HT to Tolkien.)
It isn’t even nascent here. It’s just a bunch of “woke” spoiled brats who can’t cook their own food and depend on The Store for everything.
Reality will be a very harsh mistress for them.
Socialism gets in power from the dishonest greed if it’s supporters. Free enterprise succeeds because of the honest ambition if it’s participants. Socialism always fails because it is fueled by dishonest greed. Free enterprise ONLY fails when it is fueled by dishonest greed. The Berny Madoffs of this world are at heart greedy, dishonest socialists.
The biggest problem we face at the present time is that the democrats see an opportunity here, to seize power and control through socialism….they have been pursuing that end since at least 1948, perhaps longer….their motto is “socialism may have failed when tried in other countries, but we haven’t tried AMERICAN socialism yet”….the pelosi’s, sanders, and the AOC’s of the world are all in agreement that that has been the missing ingredient….Maggie had it right….”Sooner or later you run out of other people’s money”….and thus the downfall….
I think it was a couple of decades before 1948. The current crop were preceded long ago in the 1920s by the NKVD (secret police) in Russia and over here in the USA. They recruited Ernest Hemingway to write for them, which worked because his ego needed feeding. Robert Conquest wrote a biography on Hemingway. You read through that and realize how his egocentricity betrayed him at the end.
Keeping an eye on the current shenanigans tells one thing: the bunch of twits trying to get socialism going here by throwing money at the populace — well, they have no idea what happened in the past…. and would retort “We can do it better” – something like that.
They don’t realize that Stalin was so ruthless, he saw nothing wrong with executing thousands of Red Army officers.
It looks like Trudeau the Younger is going to give socialism a try here in Canuckistan. He’s rebranded it as the “access economy” and says the notion to de-emphasize the social status/importance of property ownership by making state ownership common. Pretty much everything he’s spouting aligns with the “Great Reset” nonsense… ie: you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy (or else).
Naturally the leftists here are delighted… everyone else (at least those who are awake) are getting ready for battle… and our “conservative” leader appears to be a Manchurian candidate…
That could be Sky News from Australia. Woke politics and a muzzi invasion, but their news is surprisingly – reality based.
India had some straight thinking news before the latest CCP flu flared up. They’ve been drowned out. No connection, I’m sure…
When you see and hear those of us who are still asleep and counsel patience, this is the very well planned and active agenda I have spoke of before. Joe might well be an actual sock puppet playing the role of one but he is dancing to someone’s tune…
Key takeaway quote:
“To his credit, it’s really kind of brilliant because it deflects a lot of the Republican criticism because people are like, ‘It’s Joe Biden. “It’s kind of like this ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ presidency: He’s this old guy, and everybody else is pulling the strings in the background. He definitely knows what he’s doing. This is very calculated.”
Socialism is like a noxious weed. You have to keep killing it over and over and it still keeps popping up. Fertile soil or not; growing between the cracks of the cement.
Socialist EU has small enclaves of Spain in North Africa that are being visited by hijrah emigration to conquer military age men swimming to the EU as they, the superior culture, demand that inferior infidels support them well. https://europe.infowars.com/spain-deploys-military-as-thousands-of-illegals-invade-spanish-enclave-in-one-day/
The joy of conquest. There are more than one way to skin a cat, or gain power, or “win” an “election.”
My concern is that The Nancy will be inspired by the Mahmoud (Abbas)( in his 16th year of a 4 year term as Palestinian something or other) has canceled the upcoming Palestinian Parliamentary Election since he can’t win. The “Woke” Anti-Semites are all over the Palestinians who would rather die heroically in a gutter than be part of a real country that they didn’t terrorize. Power and Grift in any language.
I am more inspired by the IDF dumping the Hotel d’Hamas into an empty lot. Damn good shooting.

“Despite what you feel…”
Pretty harsh put-down to a conservative.
“Get the behind me!”
Implied Devil influence? Harsher.
Double meaning for a Sam PAC though…
Now, THERE’S a movement I could get behind…. closely.
Okay, triple meaning then… 🙂
I keep hearing that socialism is dying, and it may well be. My great fear, however, is that it takes us all with it.

It’s dying like Father was “still dying”in the “Last Remake of Beau Geste”.
Zar Belke!

“(Created) reality will be (is) a very harsh mistress for them (and us).
Commies and their captive progs have always been willing (and required) to sacrifice for the cause. I did not sign up though.
Time’s up! CRA Now!
Not later as there is no guarantee there will be one.

So Luciano created the network just for Skye? Why didn’t he call it Skye News, then?
Or Skye Net(?) News?? It may come to that yet. Keep your dogs close, as they can BS further than we can….
