Socialist ideology doesn't work period! It most certainly doesn't work in socialist countries as those who study history can attest to, nor do socialist 'theories' work in Western countries, even when they are disguised. Take America's 'great depression' for example[emphasis mine]."
In "Out of Work," a book about unemployment in 20th century America, economists Richard Vedder and Lowell Gallaway say, "The common interpretation is that this Depression, this misery, this inequality, reflected rigidities and imperfections in the markets for goods and resources. Yet the evidence we have presented is more consistent with a far different story. The market, particularly the critical market for labor, was prevented from operating in a normal fashion by the interventions of government. These intrusions turned a severe shock that started a recession into a major depression. Government failure, not market failure, was the problem."
Consider what Roosevelt's secretary of treasury, Henry Morgenthau Jr., wrote in his diary: "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. ... I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. ... I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started and an enormous debt to boot!" Yet high school text books teach us that government spending, what the left today calls government "investments," pulled the economy from the abyss.
The real tragedy of the elite ruling class who governs the West today is not only that they follow and espouse failed and corrosive ideologies, for that we might merely pity them were it no so dangerous for our countries as a whole. But the real problem is THAT THEY LIE TO OUR CHILDREN BY TEACHING THEM THAT THESE FAILED IDEOLOGIES ACTUALLY WORK AND THAT TRULY P*#@!S ME OFF.
