Bernie Bros and the Catastrophe of Socialism
By Lloyd Marcus
The love affair of young Americans with Bernie Sanders is the result of their disturbingly disastrous belief that they are entitled to what other people worked for. Pied Piper Bernie seduces young followers with his seductive lie: “You deserve and I will give you everything for free.” Ponder that, folks. In Bernie's America, no one has to work for anything.
Unless Bernie is another Jesus Christ who can feed 5,000 with a few fish and loaves of bread, Bernie's free everything means everyone will get a crumb -- long lines waiting for a crumb of healthcare, food, and so on. Far too many youths are Bernie Bros, true believers of his absurd mystical Promise Land where everyone gets a free ride.

Exploding Cigar II: Florida's Democrats panic after Bernie Sanders blows a kiss to Castro
By Monica Showalter
The Latino refugees and now voters of Florida know. They really, really know. They know Bernie's promise of a socialist paradise is false because they've heard it before. And they sure as heck aren't interested in getting fooled again.
And this is a very important detail, because the press will soon be calling them "intransigent" and other crapola, subtly making Bernie the victim instead.
It's absolute garbage.
Number one, the first thing all these voters will remember is that all of these socialist hellholes began with pretty promises of free stuff for everyone, just as Bernie promises, everything democratically done, everything "for the people." All they saw, though, was an immensely empowered government with zero freedoms left for them, taking complete control over what they read, what kind of health care they get, and what they are allowed to think. Socialists such as Bernie claim it's a "tradeoff" -- less freedom but more free stuff, daddy government taking care of your every need -- but these voters know firsthand that that's a naked lie. Once the people lost their freedoms, they get nothing, not one thing. Cuban kids eat ice to stave off hunger. Today's "stat of the day" from Venezuela from Axios's Mike Allen is that one third of the people all these goodies were promised to ... are literally starving. It's billed as a "stat of the day." For Venezuelans involved in this, that's no bite-sized factlet to move on from, it's the ugly, ugly, ugly and ongoing reality and why they want that socialist hellhole regime gone.
Communism in fact is the vilest lying system ever devised, with millions of dead to its name. Babalu Blog's distinguished Yale professor contributor, Carlos Eire, has a superb list of just why Sanders might really be calling it appealing and none of his reasons are attractive reasons. Not one good thing can be given to it.
With all power in the hands of the state, citizens lose their power to make any choices in their lives. At the same time, central planning will ensure that only a nomenklatura party elite will ever be serviced by the all-powerful state, the locals will be left with no food, no health care, no libraries, and no right to complain about it, either, because the freedom's gone. At that point, they know the only thing they will ever be reliably fed by communists are lies.
