It wasn't long ago, when almost everybody with a couple brain cells to rub together, knew full well that socialism & communism was the death knell for freedom, prosperity and common sense.
..But somehow in recent years, it seems to be a disease affecting some young minds. I presume that is chiefly because, people under a certain age, have no 'memories' to draw upon. They cannot
recall the people arriving from Cuba on anything that may float !
They have no memories of bodies, hanging on the barbed wires of the Iron Curtain. Most people who suffered through the communist labor camps in Siberia, are now dead...and I doubt these "brilliant" young minds have ever read alexander slozhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipeligo", or any of the books written by survivors of the starving, sub-zero lives in the prison camps.
Too busy thumbing their cell phones, I assume..
