“B-b-b-b Venezuela” - Alex Jones

I understand why. The middle class proved our system was superior. Rising to the middle class was both achievable and aspirational. That’s what communism lacks. There’s nothing to aspire to. Everyone is a drone. I’m getting a better picture of who I’m dealing with.

You couldn’t argue your way out of wet paper bag.

No True Scotsman!

This is just an irresponsible thing to say. This exact thing with the races reversed happened not far from my home.

You didn’t cite anything.

How would I know it was the same poll? You failed to provide a citation. I provided a citation for my poll. And I don’t care what the headline says. I read the questions and the responses. You have no answer for that.

So the takeaway is don’t publish these types of stories until they shake out as true?

That’s fifty seven percent who say things were better before.

This is so sad.

WRONG! What’s weird is it’s almost as if the more wrong you are, the more confident you are in what you believe. It’s bizarre.

Do Your Chores Drunk Stoned.

Nice quote. A whopping 8% agree that life was better before? WOW!!! Sign me up!

LOL. One in five East Germans wishes the Berlin Wall never came down.

So where is your evidence that Communism could reasonably be expected to work in the US? Seriously.

I can’t imagine being so sure of being right about something that I was so fucking wrong about. I can’t imagine suggesting that it was settled wisdom that something that has literally never worked anywhere would work based on nothing more than you can pretend to intelligently argue an excuse for it not working in one…

The USSR didn’t have the power necessary? OMG.  You are perhaps too young to have experienced the Cold War. Let me remind you: the world used to be split in 3. Capitalism (the 1st World), Communism (the 2nd), and the 3rd World which was a mix of colonies of the first two and monarchies, dictatorships, theocracies,…

So it’s the US’s fault that communism never worked? LOL. They sanctioned us as much as we sanctioned them. They lost because Communism is a stupid idea that has never and can never compete against a Capitalist nation. You do know that Communism had about half the world in the 1980s, right?

Sure, but what about the rest of the leftist countries? You cherry picked Venezuela. I listed, basically, all of them.

But you assume minimal consequences, yes?
