For the young Millennials who are "feeling the Bern" and for the old drug-addled hippies who long for a collectivist state to give them what they refuse to earn, this anniversary of Nikolai Bukharin's execution should be a poignant reminder of what Socialism brings. But it won't. The two groups are too ignorant of history or too far down the rabbit hole of their own failure to abandon the fantasy that gives them false hope. For that matter, this article is too long for them to read. Anything longer than a 140 character Tweet is a burden too hard to bear.
Socialism’s Bloody History Shows Millennials Should Think Twice Before Supporting It
Socialism demands that we place blind trust in whoever takes the power to distribute society’s goods and services. History shows those who have this power abuse it in horrific ways.
"We need to remember that, when soft socialism with its siren song of “equality” is left to its own devices, it takes ever more rigid forms. The political hubris of “progressives” who know better than you and me—and with such utter certainty—always leads to central control, corruption, cronyism, censorship, and abject conformity."
