Socialism does not mean " free stuff for everybody "


  "  I think Bernie appeals to the idealism that young people still possess. It sounds wonderful, free stuff for everybody! But these naive kids are still in college or living in their parents' basements(and thinking this is independence) . Get a job, get married, buy a house, have a few kids, pay taxes, buy a car, buy insurance, save for college, save for retirement, etc. They'll have to work their butt off for everything they have and then it will be interesting to see if they still support Bernie's ideas. With age comes wisdom.

 Socialism does not= FREE STUFF FOR EVERYBODY. Are you familiar with Marx's labor theory of value, with the materialist interpretation of history ? In a universe where everything changes and evolves, comes into existence and passes out of existence only irrational, unjust , often criminal, CAPITALISM is eternal?

Do the capitalists rule by divine right ? Most of the Ayn Rand fans are militant atheists who just believe in " The Virtue of Selfishness ".

Liberal Hillary Clinton calls for more love and kindness. But there is nothing sentimental about cruel and exploiting capitalism. Also, it is destroying the planet.

The black astrophysicist , Neil De Grasse Tyson just recently endorsed Bernie Sanders. Tyson -along with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse - has been warning about the reality of human caused global climate change.

It is the ONE PERCENT that has been getting something for nothing- the wealth of nations- for a long time now.
