Yep , the proud socialist and their faithful fall once again. But will this history be taught in todays school? Not likely as it appears the woke, under the guise of socialism of today are in control again. To bad for You and I that can see and not do to much to reverse the coarse. Need More sites such as these to reach all people! I practice freedom and liberty in My house hold . Do You?
“Poor ol’ Bernie Sanders. If original thinking were ever made a crime, the man would be declared innocent on all counts.”…BWAAAHAAAA…that’s priceless! Thank you!
Great summation. I suspect most in the US are unfamiliar with Albania’s history, as am I. It is a story that should be told far and wide. Alas, the academic system does not want it to be told. The various flavors of Marxism are stains on humanity that are revived by sociopaths seeking absolute control, and not for altruistic reasons. Thanks, Joel. Keep’em coming!
Are they stupid or just wilfully so, in other words they pursue a hidden agenda which allows them to fly around in private jets lecturing the proletariat? Stupid or plain dishonesty? In Bernie's case I believe it is the latter.
Hard to believe Sanders keeps getting elected. Clearly those who put him in office believe the claptrap he peddles. Worrisome that so many are oblivious of the simple fact that socialism fails wherever its employed.
The current slate of possible Dem presidential replacements along with their pandering to 1% of the population makes Trump appear to be a bright shining light on the Hill.
I don't want to seem conspiratorial... the reason I stopped voting; every election cycle our two party system offers us the lesser of two evils candidates.
These men enter office for the most part penniless losers, and emerge multimillionaires.
Every problem solved was created by the very same system, citizens do not start wars.
We are to believe these leaders are the sharpest tools in the shed and yet Joe Lunch Box understands if his paycheck was handed to him with no work expected in return, Joe would stop working and become a ward of the taxpayer. Joe understands printing money while stuffing it one's pockets is illegal except by politicians in Washington, DC. Joe figured out a long time ago all levels of government exist to suck the taxpayer dry, while convincing these same they are living in the most free, wealthiest nation on the planet. What Joe hasn't seemed to figure out, it's impossible to vote out the bums when they control both political parties, education, medicine, food production, all forms of public travel, the light bulbs you buy, and the money supply.
When Joe figures this out, it will be when his local police officer is prying his dead cold fingers from his gun. A bit too late for Joe to figure things out.
If not for the media, stymie money, 50 cable channels, and television reruns of the Simpsons. America would have long ago decorated the street lights with politicians.
The only way out of this mess, would require restoring the coining and regulation of money to Congress, settling debts with gold. Sounds easy because it is, but we'd be cutting down the congressional money tree, while throwing ice water in the face of the citizenry.
Joe the Patriot would never go for this his $500k bungalow would return to the $3000 it was worth. Savings accounts and fiat backed investments would go to zero. Crypto would go to zero. Then again all debts would go to zero including Joe's mortgage. Migrants would move back to where ever they wandered the free lunch would be over, there'd be no need for a border wall.
One the bright side the National Debt would go to zero. 90% of Universities would close, the remaining would go back to teaching worthwhile subjects. Master's degrees and PhD's would be less plentiful. College debt would disappear students going forward would be required to pay tuition out of pocket. Like I did when Temple University in Philadelphia was $750 a semester.
I've switched to strong coffee brew. You get the gist don't want to upset the TLDR folks.
I am a humanitarian. I believe we can and should help one another when or if one fails for some legitimate reason to be able to provide for self or family. A hand up. No a hand out.
Not all social contracts are created equal. Some fail because they never had a real chance in the first place. They can be expensive. But some do succeed. It matters how the social contract is fine tuned. I immediately think of Denmark because I have been there and because my wife is from there. Their social contract works. Not just slogging along either. It works because the Danes have a whole innate honesty and appreciation of human dignity. It works becaue they have adjusted it over and over until it works well for all. Yes, even the rich and immigrants.
So, please investigate before you condemn all socialist ideas. There are good and bad and yes, unworkable variants of social contract.
I can tell you right now that what is happening in America is not going to work. Millions of people who really need assistance are being thrown out of programs designed to help them back on their feet long enough to get them to jobs and food on the table. Yes, there will always be those who do not want to work or just want to lay about. But the vast majority want to succeed in life by working for their food housing and medical care.
Please show some sympathy for the downtrodden. One never knows when or if it will be their turn to be on the soup line. America is about the find out what a new and deeper depression is like I fear. We all like to think we are above being in the huddled masses, hungry and depressed and without hope.
It only takes a black swan or a war or natural disaster to wake one up to reality. NO one is immune to misfortune.
NO ONE.
Forget about woke and all that. Think of the huge mess our nation has become.
When the shit hits the fan will you actually be able to be above it all for years?
Sanders may not be original or exciting. But he is a human being and cares about other people.
I do not wish misfortune on anyone. I hope that we all cruise along unscathed.
But that is not how life works and you know it.
If I end up sleeping in a cardboard box, I just hope Bernie will be rooting for me and help me up out of the gutter.
Those tired old tropes might just save my ass. Or yours.
The Scandinavians have stated they are NOT socialist. They have high taxes, but they respect property rights. They also have a homogenous population, which we in the US do not have.
Spoken as a true humanitarian, which I believe the majority of humankind are. The problem however is that Socialism and Bernie's wish to soak the rich has never worked. Albania serves as the perfect example.
The truth is that we are not born equal and therefore there are going to be those that through hard work and competence will be more successful than others. There is no reason to pull them down as they, through their ability and competence, provide goods services and jobs to many uplifting the social well being on the whole.

Yes Joel, just two more examples that you can’t fix stupid 🤔
Are they stupid or just wilfully so, in other words they pursue a hidden agenda which allows them to fly around in private jets lecturing the proletariat? Stupid or plain dishonesty? In Bernie's case I believe it is the latter.
Ok Andre, you definitely have a good point! Let’s say that they are both mentally unstable and their constituents are stupid🤔
Hard to believe Sanders keeps getting elected. Clearly those who put him in office believe the claptrap he peddles. Worrisome that so many are oblivious of the simple fact that socialism fails wherever its employed.
I can't understand it either.
The current slate of possible Dem presidential replacements along with their pandering to 1% of the population makes Trump appear to be a bright shining light on the Hill.
It's almost as if sleepy Joe and Kamala were campaigning for Trump.

I disagree. Someone once said to me Rome wasn t built in a day, no, I said but, it didn t collapse in a day either.
