It’s frightening that an out-of-the-closet socialist like Crazy Bernie is the Democratic frontrunner and it’s disheartening that so many young people are attracted to that poisonous ideology.
The only silver lining to this dark cloud is that I get sent endless examples of clever anti-socialist humor.
I have an entire page dedicated to the genre and today is another opportunity to expand the collection.
We’ll start with an apt illustration of “democratic socialism,” akin to this balloon example.
Given the grossly inadequate track record of socialism, this next item is quite appropriate.
Indeed, it gives me an opportunity to re-issue my two-question challenge and ask anyone to give me a successful example of real-world socialism?
Here’s a recently released parody of a news report from the Socialist News Network.
Our next example asks why people don’t flee to socialist nations?
A literal example of “voting with your feet.”
Speaking of socialism, I can’t imagine that Greta Thunberg actually favors communism, but she certainly favors massive levels of government intervention and control.
Though Venezuela, as you can see from this bit of satire, certainly hasn’t benefited from that approach.
The final two items are my favorites.
First, we learn that socialists don’t necessarily want everything you have.
Second, we get a hint of why some academics support socialism.
For what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure this is the prof who gave AOC her economics degree.
P.S. I also have plenty of examples of Bernie Sanders satire, which is a special genre of socialist humor.
P.P.S. In the interest of equal time, here’s my collection of libertarian humor.
