Why Intellectuals Love Socialism | Thomas Sowell

These videos are a narration of the writings of Thomas Sowell, pictured below. I consider him to be one of the great intellectuals of the last 50 years. 

Here, the discussions deal with Socialism.

Ah yes, socialism, what a concept. It has never worked, never. Yet the left-tards I have spoken with about it say that it has never worked because people in those countries were it was implemented were (or became) dictators. They also say that it (socialism) wasn’t well-managed. Actually, they will say anything to defend this cancerous political/social/economic system.

The bottom line is that socialism doesn’t work and never will. Among the myriad of problems it generates, and there are many, maybe none is more destructive than the fact that it breaks the human spirit as it destroys effort, accomplishment, and pride. It basically turns people into lazy, useless bums, waiting for their government handout.
