[QUOTE="Sil vis pacem para bellum, post: 2844044, member: 40146"] I think a whole generation has no concept of how socialism works or its history. They lack negative feelings about it and it sounds like a great idea - why hasn't anyone ever thought about this? They also don't have a basic understanding of how an economy works in the first place. The previous generations haven't passed on the horrors of socialism because they assumed they were obvious and that kids would learn about them in school. Wrong on both counts. I am not trying to be snarky. I was in my mid forties before I picked up a book on basic economics. It rocked my world - I hadn't noticed things that "should" have been obvious. Up to that point, I just floated along with no real interest, much less understanding, of how the economy works. [/QUOTE]
