Socialism, the hot new thing, seems to be garnering a lot of positive press these days. Would it be safe to say, “people today have no idea the reality of socialism?”
Why would anyone understand the cost of socialism, the media treats dictators such Castro and Chavez as rock stars.

Their entitlement mentality keeps them sucking money from the people to live lavishly. Being so warped as to watch people suffering while one takes more from them seems evil to me. Am I wrong?
Think it can’t happen here? Name one socialist dictatorship which has not fallen into this trap? Even the Europeans stopped short of nationalization as an economic vehicle. Here is a snippet regarding North Korea’s dictator.
