Why doesn’t socialism work?

Because it’s built on a fairy tale about human nature.
It assumes people will work their asses off for the “collective” with zero personal incentive. It pretends envy, greed, ambition, and the desire to provide for your own family don’t exist. It demands we ignore the fact that free humans innovate, compete, and build when they get to keep the fruits of their labor.

Instead, socialism creates a system where the lazy and connected thrive while the productive are punished. Central planners with guns decide what you need, what you deserve, and what you’re allowed to dream.

Results? Shortages, bread lines, gulags, and mass graves... every single time.

Human nature isn’t a bug. It’s the feature. You can’t “re-educate” self-interest out of people. You can only suppress it… until the whole thing collapses.

Capitalism isn’t perfect, but it channels human nature instead of declaring war on it. Socialism is for fucking retards.

80% of DSA members have a college degree.
60% work professional jobs.
Just 4% are blue-collar.
85% are white.
This isn't a working-class movement but an elite one, for whom "Free Palestine" and "Abolish ICE" operate as a smokescreen for class privilege—just like climate and trans activism and identity politics once did.

Like many others, I have been alarmed by the success of certain politicians in our country who identify as extreme socialists or communists.

This is not a matter of classical liberals triumphing over standard-issue conservatives; this is the victory of people who stand athwart the fundamental principles that undergird our country.

There are many reasons why I detest Communism, but I want to draw attention to just one issue of supreme importance.

Karl Marx said that the first critique is the critique of religion. He meant that, before a complete re-working of the politics and economics of a society can take place, religion has to be taken down.

This is because religion, as he saw it, is the “opium of the masses,” a drug taken to dull our sensitivity to the suffering caused by economic exploitation. As long as the suffering populace is lured into complacency by fantasies about God's providence and the promise of eternal life, they will never rise up and throw off their chains.

But there is a second reason why the elimination of religion is of paramount significance for Marx.

Communism aspires to be a totalizing system, involving the government's control over education, entertainment, communication, politics, and especially economics.

What stands resolutely athwart this ambition is religion, which declares that all of these societal expressions are finally under the judgment of God. So, if you want Communism to succeed, religion has to be stamped out.

If you doubt me on any of this, I would encourage you to read the recent histories of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Venezuela. Revisit those histories and tell me I'm wrong about the attack on religion.

Might I encourage my fellow believers in God not to be complacent in the face of this very troubling development in the American body politic?

@EJGoulet It’s already to late, the party of JFK is gone… lost to a progressive movement hell bent on implementing the most regressive economic policies they can… 180 years and Marxism has never worked…

[Duke Kell @DukeKell]

@RobProvince He made a lot of money when the Soviet Union collapsed, it’s pretty simple, usher in a political system that will reset the economy… in the ruble these profiteers willl gobble up everything they can…useful idiots think he is trying to help them…

@GadSaad It’s sad really, so many people lost in their ignorance…

🚨 I STAND WITH CAITLIN CLARK 🚨
The WNBA’s poor judgment, biased officiating, and targeted physical play against the player who saved this league have gone too far.

Caitlin Clark deserves the same protection and fairness every star gets.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
IT’S TIME FOR JUSTICE.

WHAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW: 👉 Share this post immediately

👉 Tag @WNBA @CaitlinClark22 @IndianaFever

👉 Demand Commissioner Cathy Engelbert launch an independent review of officiating and player safety

👉 Comment #JusticeForCaitlinClark

👉 Watch & support the Fever — show them real fan power matters

The league only changes when the noise is too loud to ignore.
Let’s make it deafening.

@Heccles94 Look next time just type whatever you want to share into an AI and ask it if you are economically literate or not, that way you can avoid embarrassing yourself like this… we need to change how we are educating people

[Duke Kell @DukeKell]

@RepRoKhanna Pushing regressive 180 year old failed economic policies will not lead to the Utopia you so called progressives are selling… Vote for us and every thing will be free and there will never be any problems…delusional

[The Undercurrent @NotTheirScript]

This is the DSA co-chair. Let me summarize what he says in this video:

We’re using the Democratic Party as a ballot-access vehicle, not because we share its goals. We build our own organization, get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when it’s useful, and push our own agenda from the inside. We see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a home.

[Duke Kell @DukeKell]

@WellsJorda89710 He is correct, and ironically the progressive wing is clinging on to 178 year old failed Ideas and policies that have already been tried hundreds of times with the same result, mass death, starvation and economic ruin. Progress?

[Duke Kell @DukeKell]

@BarackObama Unfortunately, your view of history is distorted because you continue to place today’s values and norms on our ancestors… Constantly trying to litigate the past, and “Lost in Critical Theory” which was supposed to be a mental exercise not a religion….

[Soldiersgirl 🇺🇸 @Hisbabygirl68]

This man said he was GLAD Charlie Kirk was murdered…
Then admitted: Charlie’s videos & debates changed his life completely.
His family reconciled.
He saw through the lies that he had been fed all this time .
Charlie is now his HERO.
This is the legacy of Charlie .

Je vais partir du principe que tu es de bonne foi, parce que ton raisonnement est intuitif et que 90% des gens le partagent. Mais il repose sur trois erreurs factuelles, et ça vaut le coup de les regarder calmement.

Erreur 1 : la fortune d'Elon n'est pas un tas d'argent. C'est de la propriété d'usines, de fusées et de satellites. "Prendre la moitié de sa tune", concrètement, ça veut dire forcer la vente de la moitié de SpaceX et Tesla. L'argent ne sort pas d'un coffre, il sort des entreprises elles-mêmes, qui passent sous contrôle de fonds étrangers ou d'États. Tu ne redistribues pas du cash, tu démantèles un outil de production. C'est la différence entre récolter des pommes et découper le pommier.

Erreur 2 : "ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde". Cette expérience a déjà été tentée, en vrai. En 2021, le directeur du Programme Alimentaire Mondial de l'ONU a affirmé que 6 milliards de Musk pouvaient "résoudre la faim dans le monde". Réponse d'Elon : décrivez-moi exactement comment, comptabilité publique à l'appui, et je vends mes actions Tesla immédiatement. Le PAM a publié son plan. Verdict : ce n'était pas "résoudre la faim", c'était nourrir 42 millions de personnes pendant un an. Un an. Puis il faut re-payer, pour toujours. Le PAM avait d'ailleurs levé 8,4 milliards l'année précédente, et la faim était toujours là. Les ONG traitent les symptômes en boucle, jamais les causes, parce que leur financement dépend de l'existence du problème.

Erreur 3, la plus importante : tu cherches ce qui sort vraiment les gens de la pauvreté. Bonne nouvelle, on a la réponse, et elle est massive. En 1990, 36% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Plus d'un milliard de personnes sorties de la misère en 30 ans. Par quoi ? Pas par la charité ni par l'aide internationale (plus de 1 000 milliards versés à l'Afrique en 60 ans pour un résultat à peu près nul). Par l'ouverture des marchés, l'industrialisation, le commerce. La Chine seule a sorti 800 millions de personnes de la pauvreté en abandonnant le collectivisme, pas en taxant ses entrepreneurs.

Donc fais le calcul complet. Option A : tu confisques 500 milliards, tu finances quelques années de programmes, l'argent est consommé, et tu as détruit la machine qui produisait les fusées, les voitures électriques et l'internet des zones rurales. Option B : tu laisses le meilleur allocateur de capital de sa génération réinvestir 100% de sa fortune dans des industries qui baissent les coûts pour tout le monde et emploient des centaines de milliers de personnes. L'option A soulage ta morale pendant 18 mois. L'option B sort des populations entières de la pauvreté pour toujours.

La pauvreté ne se redistribue pas. Elle se résout par la création. C'est contre-intuitif, c'est frustrant, mais c'est ce que disent 200 ans de données.

This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

@DrNeilStone Are you admitting that governments that mandated vaccines used their people as test subjects? And Doctors helped administer this world wide test, so they were complicit…whew glad to know it’s safe…after being tested on…

@elonmusk I was an independent journalist in 2012, I interviewed hundreds of protesters at occupy Wall Street in Hawaii, all leftists. They were anti globalist, anti TPP, anti immigration and pro American worker. Now positions considered far right. The party Left us.
