Feb 5, 2020 ~ Chris Matthews notes that Trump bringing Guaido to the SOTU was smart because it forced Pelosi to applaud him increasing dem rift. 'Pelosi stood up and applauded that.

Feb 5, 2020 ~ AOC does not like Trump criticizing socialism since she is campaigning for a socialist. She falsely accuses him of fascism.

[For the record, it’s Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, Fake News, Socialism]
Feb 7, 2020 ~ The left continues to panic as Bernie leads in the primaries. Chris Mathews, 'I've seen what socialism's like, I don't like it, OK? It's not only not free, it doesn't frickin work!'

Mar 7, 2020 ~ New York Times article 'As Bernie Sanders Pushed for Closer Ties, Soviet Union Spotted Opportunity' 'Moscow saw a chance for propaganda' in Sanders and Sanders played the 'Useful Idiot' role willingly.

Aug 6, 2020 ~ Kevin Williamson, 'The Worst Idea' Socialism is the idea that won't die no matter how much evidence of failure. 'historically, socialism has consistently delivered the opposite of its promises: more inequality, more poverty, more oppression, more environmental degradation'. [Kevin Williamson, Socialism]
Nov 2, 2020 ~ Kamala Harris tweets out a video saying, 'there’s a big difference between equality and equity.' She says unless we have equality of outcome for everyone, there is no equity. Equality of outcome is a Communist idea that doesn't work, kills all incentive and requires violence. [CRT DIE Wokeness, Harris, Socialism]

Jul 14, 2021 ~ The Cuban people protest in the streets against Communism and for freedom ("libertad") waving the American Flag. Democrats and the #FakeNews who love socialism and Cuban dictators but hate the American Flag lie, saying the protest is about #COIVD19. Biden does not support them. [Covid19, Loathsome Left, Socialism]
Jul 19, 2021 ~ Writer of Fake History Nikole Hannah-Jones says "Cuba has the least inequality between black and white people of any place really in the hemisphere."

Jul 21, 2021 ~ Star Parker, 'The Perverse Agenda of Black Lives Matter' "Cuba ranks as one of the world's least free countries. Out of a possible score of 100, Cuba scores 13. In political rights, out of a top score of 40, Cuba gets a 1." #BLM and fools like @AOC say this is the US's fault. [BLM, For the record, it’s Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, Socialism]
Oct 10, 2021 ~ Socialist Venezuela slides deeper into its predictable poverty. Now 76.6% of Venezuelans now live in extreme poverty, rising nearly 10% in a single year. Long list of Democrats who had praised Venezuela's move toward socialism. They want to bring that kind of poverty to the USA. [Economics, Poverty, Socialism]
Oct 27, 2021 ~ John Stossel, 'Lessons from Venezuela' Everything the Democrats want to bring to the US has failed hugely in Venezuela. Hate speech laws, packing the Supreme Court, gun control, printing money leading to inflation and hyperinflation. [Economics, Guns-Mass Shootings, John Stossel, SCOTUS, Socialism]
Sep 10, 2022 ~ Mussolini, “The foundation of Fascism is the conception of the State, its character, its duty, and its aim. Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived of in their relation to the State.” [Politics, Socialism]
Feb 4, 2023 ~ 'Dying to Escape Socialism' "Between 25,000 and 40,000 people (men, women, and children, entire families at a time) have died trying to escape Castro and Che Guevara’s Cuba." All while Democrats and other useless idiots were praising how wonderful Cuba is. [Socialism]
Aug 27, 2023 ~ Derek Hunter, 'Democrats And The Hitler Lie' More progressive/left means more and bigger government. More govt. control. Limit is dictatorship. More conservative/right means less government, more freedom; limit is anarchy. Therefore, Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro, Mussolini, Marcos, Chavez, Kim are all progressive/leftists. The Nazi party were the 'National Socialists.' [Derek Hunter, Loathsome Left, Politics, Socialism, Violent Left]
Jul 8, 2024 ~ Allen West, 'The Empty Wagon' Advice from his father: "An empty wagon makes a lot of noise," which is why Democrats "are loud, obnoxious, violent, full of maniacal rants, and publicly unhinged." An empty wagon is also "easy to tip over." Explains the emptiness of socialism. [Politics, Socialism, Violent Left]
Dec 9, 2024 ~ 'The Milei Revolution' "Between 1980 and 2023, Argentina was one of the few countries in the West that saw a relative decrease in living standard."
"Finally, the Argentine people had enough. They elected as president Javier Milei, an audacious and magnetic Austrian school economist dedicated to free markets. 'Viva la libertad, carajo!' he shouted while wielding a chainsaw -- signifying proposed cuts to government spending -- on the campaign trail. As Milei told the arrogant interventionists at Davos, 'Economic freedom, limited government and unlimited respect for private property are essential elements for economic growth. The impoverishment produced by collectivism is not a fantasy, nor is it an inescapable fate. It's a reality that we Argentines know very well.'"
"And the results are nothing short of astonishing. While shouting 'afuera!' he has cut the number of ministries from 18 to eight, fired members of the bloated public sector en masse and dumped the corrupt intermediaries in the welfare system. He has slashed the budget by 32%, brought a fiscal surplus for the first time in years, and brought inflation down from a month-on-month rate of 25% to 2%. The stock market has skyrocketed; investors are once again looking at Argentina as a target for their money." [Ben Shapiro, Economics, Economy, Politics, Socialism]
Mar 9, 2025 ~ Stossel, 'The Death of Europe' "Europe is kind of like a big museum. Tourist money keeps it going, but there's so little growth that, per person, America's poorest state (Mississippi) is now richer than most European countries." Unemployment is much higher than the US because of what you must pay people and its almost impossible to fire anyone. "Why would you hire anybody when you are essentially responsible for them for the rest of your life?!" Cost of living is much higher. "You get the right to free health care, but whether you get health care is a different story. I have friends who died in the Swedish health care system because they couldn't get treatment in time." Starting a business is so much more difficult, very few bother. [Economics, John Stossel, Socialism]
Jun 28, 2025 ~ "Mamdani's Long List of Giveaways: 'Free' Gender Transitions, Bus Fare, and Child Care" A literal socialist who hates capitalism and Jews just won the NYC Democratic Primary proving Democrats are getting even more far left crazy. His list of giveaways would bankrupt any economy. He's promising citywide rent control despite rent control's history of destroying parts of that city. Government run grocery stores FFS. $65 million for taxpayer funded 'gender transitions.'
Ben Shapiro explains it thusly: "I think the most important thing here to remember is that young Democrats are basically sixth-grade voters in your middle-school election. If you ever ran for student body president in middle school, you will remember that if you ran a normal campaign pledging, for example, that you were going to clean up the gym better, and then some kid came in and said, 'I pledge free ice cream and no homework for everyone,' all the kids voted for that idiot." [Ben Shapiro, Economics, Ocasionomics, Socialism]
Aug 9, 2025 ~ John Stossel, 'My Socialist Mayor'
"Mamdani mocks those of us who fear socialism. He says socialism just means that the state 'provides whatever is necessary for its people to live a dignified life.' Sounds nice. But socialism doesn't bring a dignified life. It never has. It's wrecked lives wherever it's been tried."
"Whether you call it the abolition of private property," said Mamdani, "or you call it just a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now."
"No! It's not! This idea has failed, again and again! Socialism, in various degrees, was tried and abandoned in the USSR, China, Vietnam, Mongolia, Cambodia, Afghanistan, South Yemen, Myanmar, Angola, Mozambique, Benin, Congo, Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Zambia, Ghana, Madagascar, Nicaragua, Guyana, Chile, Israel, Sweden, and India. Countries that didn't abandon socialism, like Cuba, Bolivia, and North Korea, stay poor. Venezuela was once the richest country in Latin America. Now it's the poorest."
"Socialism destroyed Venezuela," says Venezuelan-born economist Daniel Di Martino. "No government has the capacity to run thousands of businesses."
"People need capitalism -- a profit motive -- to do that." [Economics, Economy, John Stossel, Poverty, Socialism]
