Every day it gets harder to talk about socialism without embracing crude language. It is infinitely tempting to degrade to the level of the social justice warriors and use their own language against them. Sometimes, it seems the only way to get their attention. Exposing them to facts and truth certainly isn’t working.
The modern American socialist is an expert in Orwellian thought tactics. They can say that Venezuela, Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea, USSR, China, Laos, Cambodia, Mongolia, Ethiopia, Congo, Somalia, Afghanistan, Angola and many more countries are all examples of “fake” socialism. Only Scandinavia has ever instituted real socialism.
Let’s take their word for it. Let’s ignore what Scandinavians say about their own countries and assume that they are in fact socialist. Not one of those countries has seen sustained economic growth in over a decade. In fact, the entire European trade zone has been in stagnation and decline for the past 11 years. There is only one country in the region with notable economic growth: Ireland. That’s also the country with the lightest corporate tax laws on the continent.
Even the fictional socialism praised by the left is failing. When you look at actual socialism, the picture is much worse. This video will show you, and it won’t pull any punches. If you want a view of socialism through the eyes of people who lived it, this is the video for you.
