Another insightful article from the mind of Kurt Schlichter.

Socialism’s legacy is heaps of bloody corpses scattered across a landscape of hunger and despair, but the youthful neo-commie hipsters infesting our colleges and coastal cities want to give it another try here and now since they’re smart and they won’t screw it up this time. Uh huh. Because when I look at millennials, I see a generation of achievers – achieving unbroken eye contact with their iPhones, achieving hitherto unimagined heights of undeserved self-regard, and achieving convincing their parents to support them into middle age. If anyone can make socialism work – by which I mean the pipe dream of it not being a slaughterhouse of soul crushing tyranny – it’s these winners. At least that’s what Chet thinks.
Chet’s my unicorn.

I spent five years in Germany, pointing nuclear weapons at the Warsaw Pact. The shadow of the Iron Curtain was a real presence. That's as close as I ever want to come to living in a socialist country. My oath is still active.

Great read, thanks for posting that!! I shared it with some friends, including one, who doesn't understand why we don't want to "at least try some of the things Democratic Socialists want to do"

The unifying principle of socialism is "line the dissenters up against a wall." All of its other tenets have proven negotiable (see China).

I wish Hollywierd would make Schlichter’s book Indian Country into a movie. It will never happen but it would be a great flick.

You'll have to ask Kurt about that. Chet is his unicorn.
