Millennial Socialism: Stupid, Evil, or Both? - Kurt Schlichter

Millennial Socialism: Stupid, Evil, or Both? - Kurt Schlichter
"Congratulations, oh most insufferable of generations – against all odds and confounding the experts, you have still somehow managed to make yourselves even more annoying. 
Apparently, the hep new jive among your tiresome cohort is “Democratic Socialism,” resurrecting a poisonous nineteenth-century political death cult and putting a kicky new spin on it to make it palatable for the suckers. 
...Hey, what’s the difference? 
National socialism, democratic socialism? 
It’s really just a question of who runs the camps because regardless of the particular brand of socialism, there are always camps.
Always.
See the source imageThat these millennial Marxoids lack personal experience with socialism does not stop them from embracing it. 
After all, socialism’s biggest fans are always the people who aren’t trapped inside it. 
Remember the progs who always fly down to Havana and/or Caracas to party with the local caudillo? They always fly home again.
...No one loves socialism quite like a moron who has never experienced it firsthand. 
No one hates it like someone who has seen it up close.
...The socialist cheerleaders don’t want to be normal. 
Normality requires work. 
They want to be part of an elite that will run things from their progressive urban coastal enclaves, and in socialism there's always a lot of running things going on. 
But they always assume that once the revolution comes, they will be the ones running things, clothed in government authority and making all the economic decisions that individuals and their companies make today. 
None of them imagine they will be the ones stuck with the dirty jobs – they dream of being commissars, not garbagemen.
SJWism is perfect training for the aspiring cog in the totalitarian oppression machine – policing campuses for forbidden thought teaches them the skills they can put into action policing society for forbidden thought. 
...Socialism’s perfect record of failure, misery, and slaughter is kind of a problem for them, so they pivot and distract, playing an ideological shell game by claiming that what they really want isn’t socialism. 
...The democratic socialists keep promising Denmark and Norway, and but they always deliver Cuba and Venezuela."
