Presidents Are Not Kings, Despite Trump's Attempts

2. Exactly. Bernie Sanders is really a throwback to the 1960s.

Since those days, the largest socialistic nation, the USSR, no longer exists. China still exists, but none of us want to move to China. Cuba's still around, but most of us wouldn't move there, either.

Bernie Sanders is still spouting slogans from the 1960s, barely altered at all. His world view has never evolved out of that period. I know that, because I was a wild-eyed revolutionary myself back then in many ways

That stuff never did work. It failed, instead. We have some countries that have adopted a sort of almalgam of market economy, mixed with some socialistic features. I'd like to see us do that, but the old Marxist/Leninist crap was never a viable prescription for society.

We could do a lot better, but not by looking back in time to the first half of the 20th century. We know better now. We have models we can use that are actually working pretty well. I think we should see about adopting some of those models' methods.

We don't need a Revolution. We need more and better-guided Evolution.
