The God that Failed...Over and Over Again

Why do so many of our university professors argue that socialism is a better way to peace and prosperity than capitalism? Because it is, to them, an article of faith. To admit that socialism has failed -- repeatedly, consistently and abysmally -- for over a century would be, for them, to deny their god.

Theirs are the eyes of faith that cannot see.

Venezuela, once one of the wealthiest countries in Latin American, is now on the brink of economic collapse and political anarchy after two decades of Chavez/Maduro socialism.

Cuba has languished under the Communist Party of Fidel and Raul Castro, who promised free and open elections when they came to power. Sixty years later, Cubans are still waiting.

The Soviets tried for 74 years to build a socialist workers’ paradise, killing millions in the process. Their empire wound up on the ash heap of history, so broke that President Mikhail Gorbachev had to borrow a pen to sign the document dissolving the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The Soviets, Chinese, North Koreans, North Vietnamese, Cambodians and others killed tens of millions of their own people by starvation and
violence. The methods should not be forgotten nor referred to as an afterthought.

It was not classical theoretical Socialism. It was militarist Dictatorship much like North Korea and Russia that shut down their capitalists aspirations and posturings. Much like what is happening here with these trade tariffs.
