Businessman and Media personality Patrick Bet-David recently appeared on Jubilee to defend Capitalism against 20 socialists. What followed was masterclass on the topic of why socialism fails.
It was interesting to watch PBD talk to these people but I could totally relate as I have worked with people like this or heard complainers like this all my working life. Matt Groening (the creator of The Simpsons) once did a comic strip called "Life in Hell" and there was a list he drew in there of all the various kinds of workers you encounter- these people PBD was speaking to reminded me of that list.
There was one guy who said he was jobless and had sent out over 400 resumes- something that is sadly common today. PBD offered him a job and instead of being grateful the guy pestered him with all these requirements and demands before PBD rescinded the offer. Well, having been a business own at one time, I would not of hired him either. If you need a job and someone offers you one, so long as it's not something immoral or illegal, YOU TAKE IT! If for no other reason but to bring some money in- I have no idea how that guy is surviving now- but you can always change jobs later.
But what the debates proved was that we have an entire cohort of young people who believe they are entitled to a perfect job based on the utopian and unworkable ideologies they have been indoctrinated with in college. And when they find out that such a job does not exist they refuse to work and get angry at the "system" that doesn't fulfill their little socialist fantasies. Ugh, I wish them all the best, but man do they need to grow up.
I have come to believe that socialism is nothing more than a lie created by parasites who say they want a better world but just want everyone else to give them their wealth. Then there are the "useful idiots" who believe the lie. We have over a hundred years of history showing this.
