It's really sad young people are buying into the propaganda sold by characters like AOC and Bernie Sanders. I blame the education system. That Communism doesn't work is basic logic. We need a modern Milton Friedman, who can explain the basic fact that prosperity is maximized when each individual pursues his own self-interest. Americans in the 1980s understood that, hence Reagan 49-state landslide.

You conservatives must stop arguing about the utility of capitalism. Nobody wants to hear it but yourself.
You must argue the morality. When people feel it’s a moral thing to do, they will do it even it doesn’t work.
Capitalism is freedom while communism/socialism is just an euphemism for slavery. Everybody understands why slavery is immoral and disgusting. There’s nothing moral, just or fair about communism/socialism!
We’ve had 30 years of endless talk-radio propaganda about the wonders of unregulated capitalism. Most working class people are well aware of how much their lives have improved since 1980.

I blame Wall Street. It's incompetence soured an entire generation. And how did the bankers, businessmen, and politicians respond? Instead of responding to people's desire for more regulation of their activities (due to millions losing their savings and retirement), they bribed the politicians to loosen their regulations and tax rates even more and the politicians bent over backwards for them.
Absolutely! What has been running through my mind lately, especially since the reign of Trump, is the old adage about just being as strong as the weakest link and with that in mind, it is easy to believe that this country is royally screwed.
