Great message. Now lose the damn music. Can’t hardly hear ya.

HARRISON BERGERON by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal
before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter
than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was
stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the
211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing
vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.

‘rebecca_paul_in_surrey’ looks a bit deepfake to me. A 77th brigade psyop perhaps?

I would argue that socialism becomes popular/possible when banks and corporations rape a country by financializing too much of the economy and pays those who do the dirty work of society like second class citizens.

Real socialism would have gone a step further and murdered all the opposition, just as a message to the others.

As explained in Gulag Archipelago , when the systems break down , such as the farm tractor that was owned by the collective and nobody maintained it, someone had to be BLAMED.

Thus, the crime of ” wrecking ” was invented. Wrecking the socialist plan was your fault not because socialism did not work they claimed.

The democrat party enthusiastically demonstrates those principles on a broad scale ……. daily. Look at the damage they’ve done to government (democrat) schools and institutions.

Just awesome. Nothing teaches like reality. One of the books I read recently from the 1960’s mentioned Democracy as a from of Socialism. People via Politicians vote themselves the benefits.

Yup.

And the way to ‘lose least’, as nobody wins, is to be ahead of the pack. Grab as much as you can, as fast as you can, before the other guy gets it.

Hell of a way to run a society…. into the ground.

That’s what financializing a national economy does.

Obviously, the class did not try socialism HARD enough. Besides, it wasn’t their fault anyway. The teacher (at 0:28) promised the students that “no one would fail” and then he failed them anyway. The lesson? The professorial running dog capitalist warmongers of Wall Street ALWAYS lie to the masses, and THAT’S why socialism cannot live up to its potential. Once we kill off all the capitalists, THEN we will get the Paradise we all deserve! We just need to break a few more eggs, rid ourselves of a few more bourgeoise parasites, and THEN the New Day of Communist Man will dawn!

Just like Socialists they lie about everything, the professor was a great socialist then, and the students deserved to be lied too – JUST LIKE ALL YOU SHEEPLE! I can see what is coming -if I get a lot of resistance to thoughts that are ‘contrary’ to the woke beliefs of the day. I just shut up and let them believe what they want! I am old enough I doubt I will be here for the final “Build Back Better catastrophe- you, that are woke, deserve every bit of the disaster ahead – but you will blame God when it is all your fault! Dear woke mobs there is still time to repent and turn to Jesus – it really is quite simple but at the same time the hardest thing you will ever have the opportunity to do – because it requires humility amd the ability to admit you were or are wrong, best wishes – sheeple!

Wow. I am one tough nut to crack today – huh?

A Q&A with a commissar to help understand communism. Yeah, I know, the article says socialism: a) socialism is just communism lite; b) “The goal of socialism is communism,” – Lenin.

Citizen: Help me understand this socialism/communism thing.
Commissar: Sure. It’s all about sharing. If you have needs, they should be met.
Citizen: OK, if you had two houses, would you give me one?
Commissar: Of course.
Citizen: If you had two cars, would you give me one?
Commissar: Certainly.
Citizen: If you had two shirts would you give me one?
Commissar: NO!
Citizen: I thought it was about sharing. You said you’d give me a house and a car, why not a shirt?
Commissar: Ah, but I have two shirts. Now, take this man to a gulag, he’s a troublemaker.
