    Leftist social policies such as minimum wage increases and high taxes have damn near destroyed the middle class and the leftists can't wait to finish the job. What attempts a socialism always provides in the end is a two tiered economic system with government bureaucrats at the top and everyone else eating crumbs if they are lucky.

    It doesn't really matter. So long as any commies, socialists, marxists, whateverists realize that they can't force people to take part in their utopian nightmares.

    They can't, which is why this Francis Fukushima dude is just dreaming of the day when he can start rounding up dissidents and disposing of them in typical socialist (bullets are too expensive but shovels and shallow graves are a workable solution to being hopelessly ignorant of economics) fashion.

    If socialism/communism worked, then the USSR, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. would be the economic envy of the entire world, instead of America.

    Well that settles it then. If this unknown professor, who lives in academia, has been proven completely wrong in the past, says it then, that's what we should do.
    THERE, FIXED IT FOR YOU. You're welcome.

    Which is why we cannot live under the same government. One of us will have to go, and that's why baby jesus invented war.

    It's alright to force everybody under crony capitalism, libertarianism, and neo conservatism though?

    I just prefer taking over a hunk of territory planting a flag on it and going our separate ways.

    You guys can have your territory of crony capitalism, libertarianism, and neo conservatism where we'll have our own territory for our own government and economic system by that of secession.

    You're not going to get that without a war, either.

    Or you can emigrate to a country that is already socialist. Maybe now that Trump is best buddies with Kim Jung Un, he can try to squeeze you into the next flight to Pyongyang. Then there's Venezuela. Can you speak Portugese? Well no matter, you'll pick it up as you go along.

    Good luck!

    How misleading. Fukuyama isn't a socialist, he just rejects neoliberalism. He explicitly made a point to reject marxist socialism and said that he is open to wealth redistribution policies similar to that of Bernie Sanders.

    Yeah everything is milk and honey in Cuba now.

    You just described every socialist/communist nation ever.

    What was your point?

    Everybody else, who gets their ass up at 6 in the morning everyday, puts the kids on the bus, and goes to work for 40 hours minimum to afford the life they built disagrees.

    Some day you will grow up, but until then Marx!

    When you're 40 and you look back on this non-sense, you're going to be embarrassed.

    Dude. You pathetic excuses and victimization is precisely the problem.

    I started a professional design firm at 32. I'm now 39, have 12 employees, and growing.

    Stop making excuses.

    Well then him and Bernie can redistribute their wealth and nobody will complain.

    So I guess they must be happy.
