Socialism = People's Temple
« on: July 09, 2018, 08:18:02 AM »
Watching a documentary on The People's Temple.  

It's socialism, plain and simple.  It's what the Prowlers, the Bernies, and the Clintons want to give us.  

A messianic leader (Hillary sees herself as this).  The plan is to keep the people tired and keep them poor so there is eventually no way to escape.  The people who followed Jones are just as blind, just as gullible and just as emotionally guided as the fools now bleating the Democratic line.  It's hard to believe people can be this stupid.

I guess I'm not the only one to consider this.  

Went to do a PS image and this is what I found.

Why millennials are drawn to socialism
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chapman/ct-perspec-chapman-young-socialism-capitalism-20180520-story.html


Quote
The University of Chicago’s GenForward Survey of Americans age 18 to 34 finds that 62 percent think “we need a strong government to handle today’s complex economic problems,” with just 35 percent saying “the free market can handle these problems without government being involved.”
Overall, 49 percent in this group hold a favorable opinion of capitalism — and 45 percent have a positive view of socialism. Socialism gets higher marks than capitalism, though, from Hispanics, Asian-Americans and African-Americans. Sixty-one percent of Democrats take a positive view of socialism — and so do 25 percent of Republicans.
Contrast the millennials’ opinions with those of their parents. A survey last year found that only 26 percent of baby boomers would prefer to live in a socialist country. Among young people, the figure was 44 percent.

What explains this generational divergence? The first factor is that young adults may take for granted the bounty capitalism has bestowed, from cellphones to inexpensive air travel to an endless array of food and beverage options. They can’t remember the time when those things didn’t exist.
But they will never forget the pain and uncertainty caused by the brutal recession of 2007-09, which has taken years to overcome. Financial catastrophe is bound to foster disenchantment with the economic order.

A generation raised by Barry and 4 years of George "neocon" W. 

Makes so much sense. Hard to think other than lbj with the great society and fdr with the new deal, there has been a 10 year period where govt was expanded and spending increased so much. To the point where the masses have been mentally conditioned to think govt first. The end all be all. Just like marx and alinsky wanted.
