CPT Jack Durish I love it when we hear stories about countries learning their lesson the hard way! I only hope that Venezuela revolts against their Communist leader. Sounds like Brazil at least kept their elections and were able to move on from Lula (although it took a successor to have the country fully wake up).
This is why everyone was so disgusted w/ the olympics - the economy of Lula's successor (I can't remember her name) was just horrible.
I remember in my macroecon class we had a kid who escaped from Cuba w/ his parents. When another student brought up how great Communism was, he literally had a conniption fit & we all just enjoyed listening to him go off on this herd mentality student about why their fantasized view of Communism/Socialism was so far removed from reality that they refuse to grasp what it really is.
Thank you, sir. Prager is quickly becoming a site I go to for their short videos!!!

When do you expect the revolts in Canada, the UK and Germany, who are all socialist and have been for 70 to 100 years?

Sir, haven't you heard? You cannot disagree with the left, because you're automatically wrong, and on top of that a racist, misogynist, patriarchal supremacist-xenophobe!
Exchange of ideas, different views and healthy debates/discussions? It's the thing of the past........ It's either one way or being stoned - get along with the times!

I watched it, and it tries to make the case that the unusual is the norm, That guys country was ruined by a nutcase president. My the standards of the conservative on this board every democracy on the planet is a socialist nation and a hellhole, which would really surprise Isreal, Every member of NATO, and out neighbors to the north, who continue to voluntarily choose socialist governments and seem quite happy with them.
I normally do not read Prager simply because the man l get his facts wrong too often substituting opinion as fact when convenient. He is not Rush or Jones but about half-way between the WSJ m RCP and those nutbags.

I think maybe that the point you're missing is that socialism attracts power-hungry miscreants by concentrating governmental power in one place where it is easily grabbed. Thus all socialist states ultimately sink into the hands of a despot. Then people who seek to bring socialism to America say "But no! That's not socialism" and then point to their favorite successful socialist states, such as those in modern Europe, that actually aren't socialist. Like Bernie, they don't really understand what socialism is. They sadly don't know what free-market capitalism is either (most of the nations they extol as socialist actually practice some form of free-market capitalism). They only look socialist if you only pay attention to their social welfare programs. Socialism and social welfare programs are not synonymous.
