„From the Soviet Union to Cuba to
Venezuela, wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has
delivered anguish and devastation and failure.“
Socialism belongs in the dustbin of history
With the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth,
socialism is making a comeback in America. Democrats used to accuse Republicans
of fear-mongering when they called out certain far-left policy ideas as
“socialist.” Now, a growing number of Democrats are wearing the label as a
badge of honor.
American socialists may
imagine their proposals mirror those in Northern European countries such as
Sweden and Norway. In reality, ideas along the lines of “Medicare for All” have
more in common with economists’ traditional definition of socialism. The record
of countries who have experimented with those types of command-and-control
systems is devastating: Maoist China, the Soviet Union, and Venezuela among
them.
Der Sozialismus gehört in den Mülleimer der
Geschichte
Mit dem 200. Geburtstag von
Karl Marx feiert der Sozialismus in Amerika ein Comeback. Die Demokraten
beschuldigten die Republikaner, Angst zu verbreiten, als sie bestimmte linke
politische Ideen als "sozialistisch" ausriefen. Nun tragen immer mehr
Demokraten das Etikett als Ehrenabzeichen.
Amerikanische Sozialisten
können sich vorstellen, dass ihre Vorschläge denen in nordeuropäischen Ländern
wie Schweden und Norwegen entsprechen. In Wirklichkeit haben die Ideen nach dem
Motto "Medicare for All" mehr mit der traditionellen Definition des
Sozialismus durch Ökonomen gemein. Die Liste der Länder, die mit diesen Arten
von Kommando- und Kontrollsystemen experimentiert haben, ist verheerend:
Maoistisches China, die Sowjetunion und Venezuela unter ihnen.
Socialist policies
have a long legacy of failure across the world.
The legacy of countries that have implemented large-scale
socialist policies is one of failed policies, misery, and death.
Even in less-extreme cases, socialist policies have reduced
standards of living.
Socialist countries like Maoist China, Cuba, and the Soviet
Union seized control of agriculture wrecking their food production and causing
tens of millions of deaths by starvation.
Venezuela’s socialist experiment has been a complete
failure. Today, Venezuelans are beset by out-of-control inflation, lack of
basic resources, and rampant crime, starvation, and death.
Research suggests that even Nordic countries, who are often
pointed to as examples of successful socialist experiments, have been hurt by
their use of socialist policies:
The living standards of Nordic countries are at least 15
percent lower than in the United States, despite the abundance of “free”
government services.
If the United States had adopted Nordic-like policies in the
1970s, then our real GDP would be almost 20 percent lower today.
In fact, from an European perspective, America's medical
care is in dire need of reform, considering that some America's people in need of
treatment all night long queues for free mass treatment by volunteer doctors.
Otherwise, we share the author's point of view and recall that communism and
socialism and the resulting genocide, civil war, mass death, crimes against humanity, endless suffering of the victims, misery and
underdevelopment, have grown on the crap of the Jews.
