   Socialism offers something easier.  It offers absolution without   
   repentance.  It promises security without sacrifice.  That’s why it   
   sells so well.  And that’s why young people are loving it. ...

   Thank you for posting that.   
      
   Socialism is the protection children need, continued through adult life.   
      
   This illustrates Social Equity and Redistribution, and inadvertently that it   
   is for children.

   "It refers to "never-growing" people who have reached an adult age, but   
   cannot face their adult sensations and responsibilities."   
      
   Socialism offers the hollow promises they won't have to, they will be   
   supported by "society", the other equally helpless children. The productive   
   ones who can't leave learn to join them or become their elite masters.   
   Essentially socialism replaces democracy with a feudalism of powerful lords   
   with armed retainers enforcing their will and dependent peasants farming   
   land they can't own, kept in their place by a faith functionally similar to   
   medieval religion.   
      
   If the Left actually cared about the "underprivileged" it would offer them   
   the REAL privilege of learning how to become self-supporting. That could   
   start with free English classes for legal immigrant families. But then they   
   might succeed, resent being taxed to support others and be lost to the   
   Republicans.

   _the_United_States   
   "Over the next decade, Ronald Reagan viewed Hispanic and Latino social   
   values as closely related to conservative values, as both tended to place an   
   emphasis on religious faith, family, and hard work."   
      
   The richest man I know came here as an immigrant child with nothing except   
   motivation. I've seen him tending the flowers in front of a gated community,   
   looking like Manuel the laborer instead of the real estate developer who   
   built it. The giveaway was that his nearby vehicle was an Escalade.
