    yes I think there is ghouslishness there that makes them want to see all the dead people. The average person in Venezuela has lost 34 lbs. This must get liberals excited.

    I implied things can go slightly wrong under capitalism but they are self correcting.

    You're purposefully ignoring the massive collection of philosophical works from many other sources.

    You yourself pointed out how communism is self correcting, giving China as an example.

    You are WAY to ready to attribute anything that is good to your own biases.

    To stop people from learning there is any other alternative to the injustice and instability of capitalism.

    No, Venezuela is far from some sort of perfect example of socialism.

    No more ghoulish than anything done in a war. We are at war, and casualties do happen in wartime. The only thing that matters is which side of no-man's land you're sitting on. They've declared war and the defender's losses are nothing but gain for the attackers. This goes for those dissidents who were killed in the killing fields of cambodia, or those who were killed during Stalin's reign of terror, etc. etc. etc. et bloody cetera. The people starving to death in Venezuela are valiantly fighting, and their deaths are attributable to the enemy of socialism which they refer to as capitalists.

    Start thinking in terms of war, and the left become as easy to understand as a bullet. It explains everything they do, every lie they tell, every ally, and every corpse on the battlefield. Their propaganda material is no different from what is used in every war, nor is the dehumanization of the enemy.

    1) I've been involved in educational outcomes for decades .. and can guarantee you that a child who is going to do well, will do well no matter what school they go to. That's because academic excellence COMES FROM THE HOME, not the school. All the academic child needs from the school is access to the course material .. the rest is up to his/her parents - and ultimately, his/her own efforts (built upon a family culture of a strong work ethic and respect for education). This is absolutely the most equal of opportunities. All parents are free to make that choice in relation to their kids. To either support and bolster their education, or ignore it and hope the schools do what they're not designed or equipped to do. There is no greater leveller than free universal education! A perfect example being a large public high school in a rough and impoverished area near me. It consistently ranks in the top schools of the nation, every year. Why? Because the student demographic is mostly Asian. The parents care about their kids' education, and do whatever it takes to get them ahead of the pack.

    2) Why in hell would someone 'not graduate'? That's another idiotic choice made. Added to poor choice of degree, and you have double idiocy. Why do you think the govt, or society, is at fault in that scenario? These are personal bad choices. I can't see how you expect to fix idiocy.

    3) AGAIN .. Asian Americans (both NE Asian and dark skinned Indians) have little trouble securing well paid jobs after college. Female Asian Americans, and all. Your argument is totally bogus, sorry.

    yes in all 132 times it has been attempted, 120 million are dead, and no example is perfect yet, but the libcommies plan is to keep trying until 200 million are dead!
