    Accepted.

    Woke and communism as well. I have often argued that religion's failure (and it is failing) due to dogma and lack of logical, philosophical merit, is a reason people are going Woke, climate-Nazi's, et al.

    Many people want to be told the right answer my charismatic and/or people they trust. It is WAY easier than figuring out what is right on one's own. Most people want to be told what to believe.

    I understand your point, Thor, but socialism can be a religion complete with its own inquisition teams to root out non-believers. It may not be what you or I believe, but what "they" believe that impacts our lives.

    I wish religion would not seep into discussions on socialism.

    Religion has nothing to do with freedom. We have nothing to gain from it, and everything to lose from it.

    I agree with 73SHARK. The "Motherlode of socialist memes". Great work, OUC! The prince in the last one has a brain in that he doesn't want to get hooked up with THAT Rapunzel, LOL!

    Socialist systems can be made to appear to work as long as there is a strong capitalist base to support them. The support is through government thievery, of course.

    And then the Margaret Thatcher observation: Socialism may work until it runs out of other people's money.

    May we both get to live out our last years without having to see the American we love be completely flushed down the tubes by deluded fools for power-hungry politicians, commie cockroaches for college professors and young people so misled that they never grow up.

    Black Rock has that very plan and are moving to digitalize everything about YOU, including one's on line behavior.
    If they are successful, we'll all leave these digital spaces until we figure out how to mask ourselves via AI so that they'll never know who we are . . .

    Should a young hard core American Communist after being indoctrinated by some Ivy League college his parents sent him "to get ahead" begin to read these memes, he would for becoming outraged not finish these perceived "Nazi lies," seek to "cancel" OUC and all members of The Gulch and censor any and everything written audio and spoken here forever.
    Should the nightmare of a Communist Utopia ever take hold here, our comrade masters would surely be opening reeducation camps and/or practicing final solutions for nonconformists the Soviet Union used to call "refuseniks."
