Instead their entire lives were stolen from them by a “man” who should have never been allowed to have a gun. All just 11 days before Christmas.
Low IQ argument. You said yourself he shouldn't have a gun. The laws on the books should have stopped it, enforcement was the issue

This is what happens when the government runs the schools.... (and this was by design)

We’re totally screwed. We have people in our society who embrace fascism and communism/socialism and have forgotten that we, our parents, and our grandparents fought those ideologies for a reason. South Korea is having the same problem with their youth who don’t want US forces on the peninsula. The older generations remember.


So when do we get pics and specs on the Super Brasilia?

I think you are confusing the philosophy of Marxism with Marxist-Leninist and Stalinist practice as seen in the USSR. You will find almost no one today who defends the actions of Lenin and Stalin and it is well know that authoritarian communism is a disaster for everyone involved.

Not much, but a couple of conceptual images were released in October.

The problem is that nobody signs up for the authoritarian flavor of communism when they order but that’s the only dish that has ever come out of the kitchen.

Authoritarian communism is the only kind there is... it goes so much against the fundamental grain of human nature, that it has to be heavily enforced. Naturally once the government acquires a critical mass of power, it's all downhill from there.

The only communist "success story" is the PRC... they keep the communist moniker to rationalize their authoritarian control, while the workers get to live in a free market (that's free so long it directs wealth to the right bosses).

Most other communist regimes have collapsed under the weight of their own authoritarianism. Oh yeah, and the scale of their mass murder makes the holocaust look like a minor civil rights incident.

our education system has failed when people can’t understand the difference between Stalinist Marxism and modern democratic socialism

That's because our school system teaches us how to join the proletariat, not how to think. But for me, I'm an avid fan of Groucho.

The maturity of political ideology of the youth as they age has been going on for years... before self created social media bubbles. I worry the formula has changed.
