Socialism. It doesn’t work. Anywhere. It never has and it never will, but today’s liberal knotheads in the U.S. claim that it just hasn’t been done the right way.

Here’s a hint…there is no “right way” to drop an anvil on your foot so that it doesn’t leave you wishing you hadn’t done it.

For those chirping about how different socialism is from communism and trying to claim that Republicans and Conservatives don’t know the difference between them, we do, and we also know that socialism, according to Marxist theory, is the transitional phase immediately following the overthrow of capitalism. During this stage, the “working class” controls the state and economy, eventually paving the way for a fully realized, stateless, and classless communist society.

I put quotation marks around “working class” for a reason and I’ll get back to that shortly.

Ask any liberal knothead where socialism has been successful, and they can’t tell you. Oh, they’ll say that the system in Cuba is far better than our capitalism, and try to champion Cuba’s healthcare system as their evidence, but they’re actually destroying their own argument in the process. Here’s what they don’t want to accept as fact: Cuba’s capitalist era was heavily characterized by a market economy, massive foreign investments—particularly from the United States—and deep economic ties such as the sugar export trade to the US..When Fidel Castro siezed power on January 1, 1959 in the revolution, he declared Cuba to be a SOCIALIST STATE.

Oh, goody, that means that Cuba went from a CAPITALIST market-driven economy reaping the rewards of massive foreign investments to a SOCIALIST state where the “WORKING CLASS” controlled the economy. How did THAT work out? Well, two years later, in 1961, Fidel Castro  officially announced that he was a Marxist-Leninist and that Cuba would adopt a COMMUNIST system and all of a sudden, everything that belonged to the “WORKING CLASS,” their homes, their businesses, their bank accounts, their freedoms…everything, became the property of the GOVERNMENT.

 Liberal knotheads voting for “democratic socialists” today will tell you it doesn’t matter what happened in Cuba because that was different. Really? That was “different?” The “democratic socialists” you knotheads are voting for would never…really?

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist liberals elected,  advocates for treating housing as a COLLECTIVE good rather than an INDIVIDUALIZED asset. His  “DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST” administration focuses on expanding public (government owned) housing, enforcing rent freezes (government mandated rental fees) on stabilized properties, and actively transferring private property (owned by private citizens) to nonprofits, land trusts, or tenants…OF THE GOVERNMENT’S choosing.

Hello McKnotheads…that’s COMMUNISM.

But, what about Cuba’s great healthcare system? Well, here’s the stark reality liberals…Cuba’s healthcare system (the one championed by “democratic socialists”) is facing an unprecedented collapse, evidenced by a backlog of over 100,000 pending surgeries and widespread shortages of essential supplies. Critical issues include infrastructure breakdowns, massive brain drain of medical professionals, and severe infrastructural decay.

Speaking of healthcare, and “democratic socialists”/communists, I give you the current “democratic socialist” running for a senate seat in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, who has been running amok during his campaign telling the people he wants to vote for him that he’s a physician. He’s not a physician. Liar El-Sayed does NOT have a valid medical license in New York or Michigan which one HAS to have in order to LEGALLY call one’s self a PHYSICIAN. When taken to task by a reporter during an interview last week, Liar El-Sayed said, “You know, at the end of the day, it’s not about whether or not I’m a physician or a doctor, the question is, can you see a doctor? It’s not about my education, it’s about whether or not your kid gets a good education.”

Liar El-Sayed went on to say, “I would say that I was the health director for the city of Detroit, I’ve done more to provide more people healthcare or eliminate their medical debt than most doctors have done.”

Oh, I know the liberal knotheads voting for “democratic socialists” will claim there’s no real difference between the two titles, and for the record, A doctor is a broad academic title for anyone who has earned the highest degree from a university (such as a Ph.D., Ed.D., or J.D.). A physician is a specific type of doctor who holds a medical degree (M.D. or D.O.) and is licensed to practice medicine, diagnose illnesses, and prescribe treatments, but these are the same knotheads that foam at the mouth when we link socialism to communism.

So, what about the so-called “rift” within the democrat party regarding the invasion of “democratic socialist” candidates? Well, to the extent that any “rift” exists, it would be amongst the voters, but I don’t believe for a second that there’s a “rift” within the democrat party elite, otherwise known as the DNC. To be clear about who exactly is voting for the cloaked commies, it is mostly young liberal voters…young white liberal voters more specifically, and there’s a reason for that. They have nothing to lose.

They are the indoctrinated who have been brainwashed by the public “education” system, and by asylums of higher indoctrination to believe that capitalism is only for the ultra wealthy, never being allowed to find out how most people GOT wealthy. Unlike the wealthy they hate in our country, the young liberal voters haven’t earned anything, they haven’t built anything, they haven’t created anything, and what they do have they got from their parents. They have no frame of reference, and they’ve been indoctrinated to believe that they are ENTITLED to what others have EARNED.

Outside of the young, white liberal voters, we find mostly old, white liberal voters who vote for democratic socialist candidates because they’re frustrated with the economic establishment, and perceived failure of traditional Democrats to curb right-wing populism. They are the liberal voters who have bought into each and every lie they’ve been told regarding Republicans, Trump, climate change, DEI, and systemic racism. They are the GULLIBLE who have been brainwashed into believing that “virtue-signaling” is no different than having actual integrity. They are casting their “democratic socialist” ballots because they believe that being offended because somebody else is offended is the moral high-ground.

What we don’t see demographically, are LEGAL immigrants or very many minority voters supporting “democratic socialists” because most minority voters see the “democratic socialists” candidates as elitists lying about being for the “working class,” and most LEGAL immigrants can see, and smell a communist, pretending to be a socialist, from 100 miles away due to the fact that they came HERE from THOSE sorts of systems for the exact reason they already KNOW the misery socialism and communism has in store for the people.

If there is a “rift,” where it exists, is among the voters, but the DNC is, I believe, a whole different story.

Socialism, leading to communism is exactly what I think the DNC has been wanting for a long, long time. Sure, some will say it’s part of Obama’s “fundamental transformation of America” but I know it goes back further than that. Remember “Hillarycare?” After seizing control of our education system and turning schools into indoctrination centers, the next natural target for socialism/communism has always been healthcare. The problem with “Hilarycare” was that the DNC aired that bit of filthy laundry in the public square, a situation they rectified with Obamacare when Nancy Pelosi said, “We have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it.”

Turns out you COULDN’T keep your doctor OR your insurance, and if you DIDN’T bow down and hand your money to the government for the government mandated healthcare, they would extort your money from you via government levied fines.

Same thing with COVID-19 and the GOVERNMENT MANDATED vaccines. If you didn’t bow down to the government, you were blackballed, chastised, removed from social media, lost your job and in some cases…arrested…but who DIDN’T have to follow the mandates? The party elites and their chosen hall-pass recipients.

March to the nation’s Capitol, “peacefully and patriotically,” unarmed and you were arrested, or shot and killed. Be a part of violent riots, commit arson, looting and mayhem? Hall pass from the party elite.

President Trump wasn’t playing that game, and stood between the government goons and the people, and look what happened to him. False charges after false charges, his home raided by government goons, hauled into kangaroo courts, convicted on bogus charges and sentenced by pre-selected government goons wearing black robes…and assassination attempts.

The idea that there exists a “rift” within the DNC is laughable, and what elected liberals are now saying, as written by their party’s elite, that they “have a big tent and all are welcome in it” is also laughable. If YOU were camping in the woods would YOU invite a man-eating, rabid grizzly bear inside? On the OTHER hand, if YOU were a man-eating, rabid grizzly bear in the woods, you WOULD invite other similarly afflicted grizzlies into to your tent.

And don’t tell me that the DNC took the moral high road with forcing Graham Platner out. They didn’t. He’s out not because he’s a socialist, he’s out because he couldn’t win, and oh lookie at what the DNC is doing. Once again, the party elite is IGNORING the will of the “working class” by hand selecting the Maine senate candidate just like they did when they selected Hillary over Bernie in 2016, and just like they did when they selected Kamala over Joe in 2024.

And why?

Because socialists/communists don’t give a democrat’s ass what the VOTERS want…the party elite always knows better than do the people.

And finally, for those who still don’t get it, you really need to watch this video. Yoel is from Cuba. He’s here LEGALLY, and he KNOWS what socialism leads to and what communism is. He’s living the American Dream and experiencing all the things that “democratic socialist” knothead voters want to take away from every American.
