Hahahaha, so you think comparing other failed socialist countries to what that moron bernies is advocating isnt relevent to the conversation? Let me guess, you think that socialism despite its historical failure will work this time because we finally have the "right" guy in power.
Are his motives as pure as fresh snow. Maybe. Is he honest in his presentation, sure you got me there.
But he is one ignorant asshole if he in a true believer in socialism. Socialism despite its promise of equality and utopia always overlooks why it routinely fails in reality. People are selfish. Plain and simple. It will always fail because human beings will look out for their own self interests before the look out for strangers.
And when everyone is made equal by the all powerful government they become complacent. They stop trying to improve. They accept mediocrity, and stagnation.
Its a philosophy of failure.
