It's amazing you've put together several comments without insulting people.
There are no such things as Safe Spaces....okay, whatever

Try it out for yourself? Converse before you asign everyone to a category?
You got it shoog, but you couldn't defend it and had to deflect.
Defend WHAT exactly?
You got it shoog, but you couldn't defend it and had to deflect.
Defend WHAT exactly?
Come on, you're not that thick, there's a thread and an attempt at a conversation here and all you did was jump in with your "leftists" this-n-that shit. So yeah, when that;s how you come in, it's gonna fly back at ya. Wanna reset?
Damn, let me fix that for you ---

I commented that it's best for children to be privately educated, rather than them to be subjected to the Leftist rubbish that's pushed into their minds in Government operated schools....your response to this was:
"Segregation on the other hand is terrific. Homs school your spawn, no one cares."
"Homs school your spawn,"
Not the greatest idea to be educating children in Homs.

Having driffted way too far from the topic. But hey, I'll bite.
What do you consider "leftist" rubbish?
No public instituions of learning at all?
Families without the economic ability, their kids go uneducated?
Sounds like you just want kids to hear only one side the the universe, one you can control. Is that what yo're acusing the "leftsist" of?
One thing Thomas DiLorenzo knows very well is that approximately one out of every ten thousand Americans is capable of engaging in an intelligent discussion of socialism. The truth is even well-educated political scholars engage in strenuous debate over what exactly constitutes the truest and most viable form of socialism.This book should be required reading in the p-schools, but we all know it won't.
From the author of 'The Real Lincoln'...one of the greatest history books ever written. It should also be required reading for all Americans, but we all know it won't.
Socialism was made a "dirty word" in the 1950s by the ravings of a ruthless political opportunist, Senator Joseph McCarthy, who managed to achieve prominence by exploiting the political ignorance of the average American. He did this by repetitiously implanting the notion that the U.S. had been infiltrated by communists and we were in danger of being enslaved by the likes of Joseph Stalin. The tragedy of this comedy is the percentage of Americans who actually believed what this opportunistic demagogue was telling them.
The reason students at elite universities are "parroting" socialist principles is Americans at large have outgrown the kind of raw political ignorance that served the interests of the McCarthyites of the '50s and have a more intelligent understanding of what socialism is and how certain socialist policies, when applied to regulating our capitalist system, will be beneficial to the vast majority of the common People.
The gimmick in Prof. DiLorenzo's presentation is its effort to convey the impression that because Bernie Sanders has declared himself a socialist his ambition is to transform America into a socialist nation. But anyone with a basic understanding of politics and world history knows the only nations which have ever adopted an extreme form of socialism (communism) are those nations whose economies had been totally ruined by prolonged war or lack of resources (e.g., Russia, China, etc).

Remember when "socialism" was a dirty word? Now students at America's elite universities are parroting socialist talking points and "sure-thing" Hillary Clinton is struggling to win the Democratic nomination against a 74-year-old avowed socialist who promises to make the nation more like Europe. What's happened? Do Americans need a reminder about the dangers of socialist ideology and practices?
Thomas DiLorenzo, economics professor and senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, deconstructs the retrograde ideology that has suddenly become disturbingly hip in The Problem with Socialism.
The Problem with Capitalism:

Eisenhower and Golwater warned amerca about this, back when "conservatives" were, well, ... conservative.

And yet the five conservative members of the USSC voted to overturn efforts by The Congress to regulate the amount of money intruding into politics. Are you suggesting the self defined conservatives of today are Conservatives in name only, aka plutocrats?
Socialism has zero redeeming qualities, Millions people would perish in a socialist system like progressives want.One thing Thomas DiLorenzo knows very well is that approximately one out of every ten thousand Americans is capable of engaging in an intelligent discussion of socialism.

Unfortunately the vast majority of contemporary Americans have been convinced, largely by persistent right-wing propaganda, that socialism is just another word for what in fact is communism. But the fact is socialism is to communism what democracy is to anarchy. Both are extreme comparisons which are rooted in sheer political ignorance.

Those who still regard the very word, socialism, with negative connotation should understand that some of the most substantially beneficial components of America's social structure are Social Security, Medicare and Public Primary Education. These are socialist policies.
Try to imagine what America would be like without them.

The U.S. is the diametric opposite of any such consideration. But this doesn't mean our highly successful capitalist system is not in need of certain socialist-oriented regulations to prevent the kind of thing we see happening in the emergence of the economic One Percent, which threatens to eradicate the American Middle Class.
Irrelevant.

Millions want nothing to do with the inadequacies of socialist living, and should not be forced to participate in the shit show...
...and even more so no one should even be expected try socialist living.
