My DukePoliticalScience kids say socialism=good, b/c some innumerate Lit prof said so. I cite empirical fact: there are NO examples, ZERO, of socialism functioning as an economic system. Not one, & Venezuela-fail is typical. They say, "muh Sweden!" Sorry. No. thedailyeconomy.org/article/capita…

Scariest Halloween costume I've seen yet.

This is a harsh reality.

A 10% slice from a huge cake is bigger than a 40% slice from a small cake. Socialists want to increase the size of the slice. Capitalists want to increase the size of the cake. Do you see the difference?

OK, I can see why some people are confused. For a lot of years, and increasing over time, the left called a lot of people they disagreed with “Nazis” and indeed tried to cancel many. This was objectionable not because Nazis shouldn’t be cancelled (whatever cancelled means

1. Have capitalism. Life is good for 90%. 2. Find the 10% who can't thrive even in ideal conditions. 3. Tell them socialism would fix their problems. Use their support to implement some socialism. 5. Have mostly capitalism. Life is good for 80%. 6. Find the 20% aren't

100% agree. I would add: Yes to the Declaration of Independence Yes to the Constitution Yes to the Founders and the American Ideal Yes to Rule of Law Yes to Individualism Yes to Individual Rights Yes to Freedom and Liberty

As New Yorkers contemplate socialism today. A quick reminder from someone born in the People's Republic of Poland 👇.

Free markets didn't create child labor.  Poverty created child labor, and poverty was the human default for millennia. What free markets did was create the wealth that made child labor unnecessary.

Amazing statement, even for an outfit as terminally innumerate as Jacobin. There is absolutely no reason to think insurance rates will track home prices. You don't need "AI" to tell you that hurricanes, fires, and floods are ALSO increasing "faster than home prices!

Those who complain about the rich “hoarding wealth” strangely have no problem with the State monopolising wealth, weapons, and every other sort of power.

I’m excited for the Mamdani memes…they’re going to be so fire. Ironically, New York also now has a high probability of being set on fire.

The survival of socialism isn’t just a failure of education. It’s the design of the education system. You don’t get socialism because people are uninformed. You get socialism because they’ve been taught from childhood: • that self-interest is immoral • that sacrifice is noble

Socialists blame capitalists for not being generous enough with their wealth to help the poor. This is a tacit admission that only capitalism can create sufficient wealth to help the poor.

Be a Marxist if you want. But the minute to try to force your Marxism on me, we have a problem. And, of course, the essence of Marxism is exactly that its adherents believe they must force it onto others.

Capitalists are fine if you don’t want to become a capitalist. Socialists are furious if you don’t want to become a socialist. This is one of the many reasons why capitalism is morally superior to socialism.

Communism is the idea that you should proudly be a burden on your fellow man and make him feel guilty and greedy if he refuses to be your slave.

Me: “We can look at Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, and the Soviet Union to see how socialism destroys counties” My comments: “That’s not real socialism!! You need to talk about Sweden and Canada!” Me: “Canada has healthcare wait times so long the government is paying to kill

Senator John Hickenlooper Saying “health care is a right” sounds compassionate, but the meaning is very different from what people assume. A right means something you can exercise without forcing anyone else to act. Speech is a right. Property is a right. Self-defense is a right. They require no other
