Well thats why we need to boot progressive educators out of their teaching positions.... The majority of socialists did good for about 15% of their "empires" while the other 85% were purged, murdered, jailed, reeducated or died in famine.. Imagine the residents of NYC or Chicago getting propped up on a pedestal while the rural communities around them are raped of their resources and property to feed those in the city... Thats socialism... The excess that cannot work is murdered or purged to other nations, that or they just drop dead of famine. But hey, I guess if you live in the city you're doing alright no? This is why I HATE progressive liberals, they dont understand this....
