Chicago leads the way to the Radiant Future

Trotsky explains the vision: As long as I breathe I hope. As long as I breathe I shall fight for the future, that radiant future, in which man, strong and beautiful, will become master of the drifting stream of his history and will direct it towards the boundless horizons of beauty, joy and happiness!

We are all French now (or is it the other way around?)

A Socialist Thanksgiving

It's all Plato's fault!!! Texas yahoo doesn't get the message. Counterpoint: Texas prof gets it all too well.

California goes full hog Pepe

Enchilada con mierda is on the menu. Tax and spend à outrance. Ain't that grand?

Capitalism, defeated, is shutting down

Pepe amazed at his own "trust-based" system?

Rot's Goldstein explains Alinsky

We're the disaster we've been waiting for

Senator Tecs Warren. For the little guy.

Long live crony socialism!

I also know that every rationale uttered by Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz will advance their theological belief in the moral purity and benevolent intentions of modern day progressives. This foundational idea—that Republicans act out of self-interest while Democrats act out of the public interest—is the keystone to the self-conceptualization and self-idealization of your everyday Democrat. It’s simplistic and bogus. You don't say.

P.J. O'Rourke not impressed with the U.S. of A.

We would have been in better shape if Mr Rot had been in the business of natural gas fracking, laying pipe literally rather than in the slang sense.

Pepean utopia is upon us

Charly's heartthrob

Barnes contradicts AA

Where's my bottle of tawny? [Add a pic, per AA's learned comment.]

Suckers

The Soviets had 50 years of disappointing harvests

So why can't we have 4 years of disappointing jobs reports? Or 40. At least, Brezhnev was more creative in explaining away the inner contradictions of whatever he was doing.

Like the town drunk telling you that you have a drinking problem

Let's go to Canuckia to look for jobs

Vorwärts, Kameraden!

The Great Leap Forward.  Back to the future.

Charles Alone Warms Up to Such Booty Bare

Now there is an argument to make The Ivy Idiocracy proud: FreeCounterPoint is The Disease, and Pepe is The Cure.

When America was young, it experimented with Socialism

It was a turkey: The failure of the experiment of communal service, which was tried for several years, and by good and honest men proves the emptiness of the theory of Plato and other ancients, applauded by some of later times, — that the taking away of private property, and the possession of it in community, by a commonwealth, would make a state happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God.

Nevertheless, the Pilgrims, and Governor Bradford in particular, were able to observe that the socialist organization of their community was not working and abandoned it after only a year or so for free-market farming. What allowed the pilgrims to be able to see the problem and correct it within a short length of time? After all, the communists had this problem for about seventy years and didn’t do a whole lot about it. A smart aleck response to this question would be "Since Harvard hadn’t yet been founded Bradford and the Pilgrims hadn’t been indoctrinated in socialism in Massachusetts."
