The question to ask a "Democratic Socialist"

If you come to power through an election, and then lose a subsequent election, do you step aside as the voters have requested? And, if your successor dismantles your handiwork, do you accept that?

Okay, that's two questions. I would be disinclined to believe anything a "Democratic Socialist" says. It's almost certainly a one-way ratchet. And if you doubt that view, consider the way the Loyal Opposition has been behaving in the past 18 months.

The Democratic Socialist response is, "We will ask the questions."

Hmmmm......we don't, perchance, have a century of experience in dealing with Communists, do we? Oh, we do? Maybe we ought to take a look at what Mssrs. Solzhenitsyn and Valladares might have to tell us about the matter.

Honestly, the gullibility of the hard left in believing that we can try the same thing just one more time without experiencing the same old results just boggles the mind....

As Professor Reynolds says, "Socialism is the Axe Body Spray of political ideologies: It never does what it claims to do, but people too young to know better keep buying it anyway."
