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."
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."
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.
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."
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.
Aug 29, 2023 ~ Dennis Prager, 'Why Young Americans Are Not Taught about Evil' Because "nearly all the genocides of the 20th century were committed by Communists and the Left, which runs virtually all educational institutions, has always had a soft spot for communism."
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.'
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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." "Cuba actually has the least inequality and that’s largely due to socialism." Everyone is equally destitute, yes due to 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.
Nov 17, 2020 ~ Thousands protest against socialism in Argentina. Democrats want to bring it here to America.
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.
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'.
Jul 7, 2020 ~ After passing the 'Amazon Tax', Seattle City Councilwoman Kshama Sawant threatens Amazon. Don't oppose it or 'We are coming for you and your rotten system.' and all of capitalism. 'We are coming to dismantle this... racist, sexist, violent, utterly bankrupt system of capitalism.'

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. He was 'targeted for propaganda' for his socialist and pro-Russia ideology.
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!' 'If Castro and the Reds had won the Cold War, there would have been executions in Central Park.'
Feb 5, 2020 ~ AOC does not like Trump criticizing socialism since she is campaigning for a socialist. She falsely accuses him of fascism. 'For a president who seems to care so much about socialism, he really doesn't seem to give a damn about introducing fascism into the United States.'
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. She knew where this country stands. We don't like those leaders. And Bernie does. And that's a problem for him.'
Dec 24, 2019 ~ Heartland Institute releases policy brief 'Debunking the Scandinavian Socialism Myth: An Evaluation of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden' Despite Bernie talking points, these are not socialist countries. Yes they have high taxes but have freer markets than the US in many ways.
Dec 18, 2019 ~ Rand Paul book, 'The Case Against Socialism' Should be obvi with so many failures 'You would think that when your economy gets to the point where people are eating their pets people might have second thoughts about what system they've chosen.' Scandinavian countries not socialist
Dec 2, 2019 ~ Mark Ruffalo says 'It's time for an economic revolution. Capitalism today is failing us, killing us, and robbing from our children's future.' Madness. He has a net worth of about $30 million and is campaigning for a socialist. Socialism is what has failed and is killing its people
Nov 27, 2019 ~ John Stossel, 'Thanks Private Property'. Explains how the Pilgrims 'almost starved' trying socialism with no private ownership. In a desperate attempt to try something new, Bradford 'assigned every family a parcel of land' People started to work and invent. Soon they had plenty.
Oct 14, 2019 ~ Lee Edwards, 'Three Nations That Tried Socialism and Rejected It' After trying and failing with socialism, 'Israel, India, and the United Kingdom each lifted itself from economic stagnation by switching to free-market policies.' Add USSR, China and many others.
Jun 2, 2019 ~ Another dem candidate learns that you can no longer tell the truth to democrats anymore. John Delaney booed a full minute for saying 'Medicare for all may sound good but it's actually not good policy nor is it good politics'. AOC didn't like that so said he should 'sashay away'.
Jun 1, 2019 ~ CO Gov. John Hickenlooper said 'socialism is not the answer' at a Democratic Convention. Was booed the looney left for over 30 seconds. Also got boos for saying we ought not get rid of private health insurance and promise everyone a guaranteed job. Can't be sane and a dem anymore
May 17, 2019 ~ Nima Sanandaji article, 'The Swedish Lesson: Welfare States Create Moral Hazard'. The more generous the benefits and the higher the taxes to pay for it, the more incentive there is to bail on legit work and game the system. Sweden had to scale back due to increasing cheating.
May 16, 2019 ~ Charles Cooke, Putting the word democratic in front of socialism does not make it less tyrannical or more successful. Socialism fails because of the knowledge problem, the elimination of rational incentives and intolerance for dissent. Fails most the people it claims to help most.
May 1, 2019 ~ Omar's comments on Venezuela got widespread condemnation from Nikki Haley, Pompeo, Pence, Rubio and others. Much of what we are doing is humanitarian. She immediately plays the race card. 'Women of color have heard this before.' even though many of her critics are women of color.

Mar 27, 2019 ~ Stossel lists many liberals that praised Hugo Chavez in 'The Socialist Fantasy'. They claim Venezuela not a socialism failure. It was 'mismanagement'. 'But mismanagement is what happens under socialist governments... always'. Fall back to Denmark & Sweden which are not socialist.
Feb 27, 2019 ~ Bernie Sanders refuses to call Maduro a dictator - reluctant because he knows Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and the USSR, all nations he's praised, are textbook cases of socialism. Now he cites countries that reject the socialist label like Denmark as socialism success stories.
Feb 25, 2019 ~ John Cornyn quotes Mussolini, 'the more complicated the forms assumed by civilization, the more restricted the freedom of the individual must become.' - AOC doesn't understand that he's doing it to show the dangers of socialism - she thinks he's endorsing Mussolini's ideas.

Jan 1, 2019 ~ John Stossel, 'Sweden Isn't Socialist' - They tried something similar in the 70s and abandoned it because economy tanked. They now have market econ. high flat-ish tax. Everyone pays a lot. Less regulation, more privatization e.g. pensions.

Oct 21, 2018 ~ Gloria Alvarez, a young woman from Guatemala made a video 'Socialism Fails Every Time' - has first hand experience - Marxist students tried to get her campus speech stopped - they got her temporarily banned from Facebook.
