Are Americans Who Admire Socialism and Communism Miseducated or Stupid?

Are Americans Who Admire Socialism and Communism Miseducated or Stupid? - Black Community News
By Walter Williams -- A recent Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation survey found that 51 percent of American millennials would rather live in a socialist or communist country than in a capitalist country. Only 42 percent prefer the latter (Forty-Four Percent of Millennials Prefer Socialism. Do They Know What It Means?). Twenty-five percent of millennials who know who Vladimir Lenin was view him favorably. Lenin was the first premier of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Half of millennials have never heard of Communist Mao Zedong, who ruled China from 1949 to 1959 and was responsible for the deaths of 45 million Chinese people.… The number of people who died at the hands of Josef Stalin may be as high as 62 million. However, almost one-third of millennials think former President George W. Bush is responsible for more killings than Stalin (How Many Millennials Think Bush Killed More Than Stalin). By the way, Adolf Hitler, head of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, was responsible for the deaths of about 20 million people. The Nazis come in as a poor third in terms of history’s most prolific mass murderers. According to professor Rudolph Rummel’s research, the 20th century, mankind’s most brutal century, saw 262 million people’s lives destroyed at the hands of their own governments (20th Century Democide)…. Young people who weren’t alive during World War II and its Cold War aftermath might be forgiven for not knowing the horrors of socialism. Some of their beliefs represent their having been indoctrinated by their K-12 teachers and college professors. There was such leftist hate for former President George W. Bush that it’s not out of the question that those 32 percent of millennials were taught by their teachers and professors that Bush murdered more people than Stalin.... America’s communists, socialists and Marxists have little knowledge of socialist history. Bradley Birzer, a professor of history at Hillsdale College, explains this in an article for The American Conservative titled “Socialists and Fascists Have Always Been Kissing Cousins.” Joseph Goebbels wrote in 1925, “It would be better for us to end our existence under Bolshevism than to endure slavery under capitalism.” This Nazi sentiment might be shared by Sen. Bernie Sanders and his comrade Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Goebbels added, “I think it is terrible that we and the Communists are....

Are Americans who admire the world’s most brutal regimes miseducated or stupid? Or do they have some kind of devious agenda?

If Socialism is such an ideal utopia of sunshine, lollipops and everything wonderful then why was the damn Berlin Wall built in the first place? Why all the positive Hype by the biased media for Venezuela that is suffering hyper-inflation, people starving and seeking to leave despite the fact that before the Chavez - Marxist Socialist takeover was the richest country in South America. (Venezuela Before Chávez: Anatomy of an Economic Collapse Edited by Ricardo Hausmann and Francisco R. RodrÃ*guez).
Millennials today are the results decades of infiltration by socialist/communist propagandists posing as educators inculcating brainwashing children from their pre-school training forward. Ideological Marxist Socialist pseudo-educators have revised, rewritten history, misrepresented fact and inserted Marxist Socialism into every classroom. The brainwashed are taught that government should provide them with everything in life without any contribution from them. They are a generation of takers. They don't want to work or think. They believe they are owed something. In answer to Dr. Williams’ question, I would say mislead, lied too and stupid. An innately inquisitive intelligent person can, and probably will overcome faulty teaching. A sensible person can eventually wake up to reality. Those who can’t are simply stupid.
Remember kindergarten children taught to sing the praises of Barack Hussein Obama. This was not only done with the children in the video, it was widely done.
School children sing praises to their savior Obama

Socialism never won a fucking war now did it?

Look at Vietnam today , they have the black market a form of captialism .
 
There are some things that are best left to individuals.

There are some things that are best done collectively - the strength of numbers - or economies of scale.

Finding the right balance between the two is a challenge for most modern nations.

In the United States, given our leading role in the Cold War - defending against Hyper-Socialism-Gone-Wrong...

Socialism is a dirty word...

Many beyond our borders to not understand how such a state of affairs could develop or continue to exist...

They, on the other hand, were not stuck providing the Shield for 50 years for others who did not want to fall under the heel of the Kremlin.

Socialism, in moderation, can be just the ticket to solve problem A or B or C...

But it won't solve D or E or F, and it easily goes astray if not periodically pruned (or have its ears boxed) to put it back in its place.

Fear-mongering about Socialism in the US is a residual vestige of the Cold War and seems to be slowly fading from the national consciousness.

Ideology placed over what works for people is a mistake. Ideology should follow from what works. The twentieth century far right and far left experiments demonstrate ways that don't work.
As for education, everyone seems to need more quality.

Conservatives who start threads that fail as strawman fallacies are certainly miseducated and stupid – they’re also liars, this thread being one of many examples.

Yea, and it’s working out great in France.

2018 Annual Poll — Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation
https://www.victimsofcommunism.org/2018-annual-report
52% of millennials would prefer to live in a socialist (46%) or communist (6%) country than a capitalist (40%) one. 26% of Americans have never been taught about communism in any education or professional setting. Half of Americans associate socialism with welfare states in Western Europe and Scandinavia—not Marxist dictatorships.

Millennials Don’t Know What "Socialism" Means - Hit & Run ...
https://reason.com/.../07/16/millennials-dont-know-what-socialism-me2
Originally communism and socialism meant the same thing. Later, socialism came to mean something different. In modern western sense, socialism means government enforced income and wealth equality.


This may be true, but polls also show that the majority of millennials who claim to be socialists don’t understand what socialism is.
Was that a variable controlled for in this poll? Or were respondents just given a multiple-choice question about what kind of government they think they’d prefer?
I believe that if you were to ask direct, specific questions about the effects of socialism vs. capitalism — say, if they’d prefer A) government-enforced rationing and price-fixing to counter shortages and scarcity of products and resources, meaning you might not be able to buy what you need or want; or B) producers being allowed to produce more abundantly and/or higher quality, and offer it to everyone at lower prices as they are able — you’ll quickly find that millennials prefer the positive effects of capitalism over the negative-but-necessary effects of socialism.
But that has never been tested, because the people running the polls don’t want to test it. There’s no political gain in disproving your own point.

Definition of socialism
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

2a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property

b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state

Words have meaning apart from what you wish they meant. Stop your lying propaganda.
Merriam Webster didn't want to piss off the violent brainwashed right wing. Notice they say owns business and industry but also controls business and industry. One is communism the other is socialism. No communism is not socialism, socialism is not communism, and Nazism is not socialism or communism. You stoops are terminally confused and misinformed... Cold War dinosaurs at this point.
