I guess they are rewriting history or not teaching history at all.

The people that vote for the DSA candidates are low IQ and have no clue that its all been tried before and failed.

All they hear is "free stuff" and jump on board.

It isn't that they think it will work. Many progressives are "smart" (evil) enough to know it won't work, and also know that their current leaders are promoting communism in the long run.

The point is that in the NOW, it is getting at YOU. As the domestic enemy, this is more of a burden on your and your families, paychecks, jobs, etc. Look at the women celebrating the night Mimandi won, for example, and listen to their words. This is about revenge because they hate their fellow Americans more than anything in the world.

Because Americans can bear arms.

A little of the former, a lot of the latter.

Modern US History instruction is mainly that Europeans merely exploited and destroyed and the reason the USA is what it is is by sheer luck and the oppression of others - hence, things like the 1619 Project.

Thus, the West (and especially the USA) should feel guilty about its station and should be made to pay for its success - ergo, reparations - and further, should prostrate itself to the 3rd World (Popes Francis and Leo).

What other religion do you want them to believe in?

the Catholic church is corrupt, Mainline protestantism is dying. That leaves Communism, Islam, and Climate Change*

Schopenhauer said something like "most people just want to believe, they don't want to learn".

I think that just about nails it.

Because they’re very twisted people fueled by ignorance, jealousy, greed and they lust for power over us.

the mouth-breathers on message boards and marching in the streets with mass produced signs actually don't "think it will work" because that segment aren't CAPABLE of thinking, they're simply doing as they're told with their hive mind. They are Lenin's "useful idiots" and they will be shocked when most of them are exterminated by their leaders along with those they rail against

the upper powers behind all that think it will work for them to consolidate power and enslave the masses to serve their bidding

frick both segments

They don’t think it will.

It’s a tool to tear down the USA and cat ladies are dumb enough to fall for it every time.

Some may think it will work, others are merely tired of watching our modern brand of capitalism tilt our nation toward monopoly, corporate control and war profiteering.

Socialism will always be a disaster, but it's not the only bad direction available. Where many go wrong is accepting there are only two possible solutions to every problem.

Brainwashed to be a complete f*cking morons since kindergarten.

This is one reason why so many of the 60s scumbags went into education. Now, these filthy f*cking a$$holes control the entire education system from kindergarten through the PhD level.

If you have any doubt, just look at Bernadine Dohr and William Ayres.

This isn’t a coincidence. It was planned.

It is a very very old phenomenon called stupidity coupled with laziness.

They aren’t actually trying socialism. It’s a misuse of labels, kind of like referring to MAGA as “conservative.” Hope that helps you understand.
