Well said Dr. Hunt.

God Bless

Dr. Dave Janda also shares some excellent incites on these issues. The Corporatists and The Central Bankers are key to these developments. Authoritarianism works for them.

Those who believe in socialism are either ignorant or evil.

Ignorance is a deliberately engineered state by those who designed and implemented socialism, knowing exactly what it was and what it would achieve.

or a synergistic combination of deliberate planning by sociopaths and stupidity from the sheep and puppets?

Knowledge is hidden/twisted/disguised. We are indoctrinated from birth.

It does not seem that intelligence alone (at least as the word is commonly understood) is sufficient to unlock understanding, and therefore it is probably incorrect to ascribe a lack of understanding to stupidity.

A willingness to trust, and believe the best of, others are not bad traits I think. In fact they are probably essential to a healthy society. It is rather indicative of how evil are those willing to abuse that trust, and an unfortunate paradox that precisely the traits which are necessary for civilization are also those which permit its destruction.

No argument on sociopaths and puppets.

Capitalism is a word which means different things to different people. It was popularized/hijacked by Marx (first used by French revolutionaries) precisely in order to confuse the right to own capital (a good thing and essential to freedom) with a system of regulatory monopoly which forced people off their land into industrial slavery for the benefit of those who wrote the regulations.

Surely better to say that the cure for socialism is freedom? Or if you must use the word capitalism, please at least add the adjective "free market".

Otherwise you are playing right into Marx's corruption of language trap - and many people, indoctrinated from birth, cannot hear anything else you say once they hear "capitalism good".

excellent point. Free market capitalism is very different than crony capitalism. I should be exquisitely careful. Thank you.

Cuba ran out of other people's money.

It's a drug, and they will go through withdrawal.
