HOWEVER, maybe they should check it out to see how things are really going on the ground somewhere it's in full swing. Maybe, just maybe things aren't as rosy as is reported.
Venezuelan politician, Assemblyman Jose Guerra, has challenged Bernie Sanders to "go to Venezuela without bodyguards" for a week.

Yep, just look at all countries where socialism has failed or is currently failing.

Pretty much all the crappy places on earth you hear about where people are suffering are "Socialist Utopias with Strict Gun Control..."

Yet the SnowFlakes think Che and Mao are heroes..... :roll:

"first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.

If socialism is so great, why are people wanting to escape it and come to America?

In theory, "socialism" is possibly the best economic system ever devised... but implementation by "men" means it's doomed to fail.

Rough translation from the 1847 german.....No.'s 3, 9, and 10 all had vague comments on the dissolution of the typical family unit in the original language.....

1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.

6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.

10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
