Idiot College Students Prove They Have No Idea What Socialism Actually Is [video]
July 17, 2017 By Kimberly Morin




Attending college is supposed to make you smarter, they say. Paying thousands upon thousands of dollars is supposed to help you get ahead in life, they say.

Listen to the college students in the video above and think twice before wasting money sending your kid to any college that foments failed left-wing ideology.

It’s incredible that these students not only don’t know what Socialism is nor can they define it, but they don’t even realize that it has never, ever worked anywhere it’s been put into place or attempted in any country in the entire history of the world. From Campus Reform:

One student said of socialism, “I think people throw that word around to try and scare you, but if helping people is socialism, than I’m for it.”

When asked how she would define socialism, her answer was simple: “I mean honestly I’m not not exactly sure.”

How can you claim to be for something if you don’t even actually understand what it means? At least when asked, these students admit they have no clue what Socialism actually means or what it actually does.

Sadly, these students are the future of this country. Are they going to be the type of leaders (SEE: Democrat Party) that are going to just spew nonsense ideology and policies because some of them may sound okay, without actually knowing what they really entail?

Unfortunately, they are mostly being taught by left-wing professors who spew the same nonsense.

Shop around for your kids before choosing a college. If you don’t, you could be spending thousands upon thousands of dollars to have your kid’s college turn them into an idiot.

Can I get an audit of this socialism they speak of? What's my share and what am I entitled to? As soon as I have that information, I'm onboard.

Apparently, these clowns can't understand why so many Republicans are against college in a recent poll. This "journalist" from some retard site called "Pop Sugar" is another clueless soul who would rather pretend to be smarter than Republicans rather than ask why.

58% of Republicans Now Believe College Is Bad For the Country - Yes, You Read That Correctly

Excerpt:

According to a new Pew Research Center survey, 58 percent of Republicans now think "colleges and universities have a negative effect on the country," compared to the 72 percent of Democrats who, inversely, believe these institutions are positive.

The survey polled 2,504 adults between June 8-18, 2017, on their thoughts about different institutions in the country: churches, banks, unions, the media, and colleges and universities.

It's unclear why Republicans might feel this way towards higher education...

No honey, it's unclear to you why people might "feel" this way. That's because you're too busy acting smug instead of being a journalist and asking them why.

The Biggest $#@!tard on TV Jesse Watters did a segment on this the other day.

After mocking the idiot college student socialists and the street violence of the left, he wished everyone a happy Bastille day.

It seems like literally every Man On The Street interview I've ever seen succeeds in making people look like ignorant idiots. It can make for amusing TV, but I'm not sure these should ever be taken seriously.

The world is full of idiots and they edit out anyone with brains, all it proves is how stupid some people can be.

The whole encounter is kind of unfair. On on hand you have a Journalist who's life is consumed with following news confronting people barely prepared to be interviewed and are not professional news people. Plus just having a news camera pointed at you is hugely distracting.


Also, I think about how honestly I could not really debate politics on the spot. At least not very well. I might follow debates and even fact check before decided on the best of a selection of candidates. Afterward, I move on focusing on my non-political life, so such facts are not fresh in my memory.

I do like to think I could describe a view of Socialism, but I could easily see fumbling it or being vague.

what you described is a complete lack of conviction in one's beliefs and values. Yet, these same people have no problem at all rallying to support candidates who know exactly what socialism is while being completely and totally convinced they are right.

Actually, these people have tons of conviction in their beliefs - they just don't have any basis for them. Most people do not think deeply about issues. They're too busy living their lives. Their concerns are immediate - Personal finances, personal relationships and entertainment.

That would be fine, however, the sad part is that they don't acknowledge their limited scope. Without merit or justification, they feel strongly about some "sense" that they have of how their personal finances, relationships and entertainment relates to the issues. And they vote.

One of the most thoughtful posts I've ever read here. Libertarianism would be well served if it could be more readily applied to basic, visceral human senses.

When I was in college 3 decades ago, I couldn't have defined 'socialism'. Nobody I hung out with could have, either.

I could have offered only a vague description, especially standing there in front of a camera crew with a microphone in my face.

You could even go really simple and ask what is a Republic? What is a Democracy? Uhh.... the right to vote I guess?

When I was taking college courses my very strong focus was Computer IT Stuff, especially if close to Mid-Term or Final Exams. Just because I was in college didn't mean I was taking on a wealth of political knowledge from my instructors.

I mean I did follow politics on my own. I might watch a debate, consider who made the most sense, but then dive deep back into the college course work cramming computer hardware repair, printers, and networking.

Strangely, I think it should somewhat be the job of media and journalism to do more of this legwork, just because as you say people are to busy. So I find it kind of ironic that so-called Journalists like Watters instead use their knowledge to mock people.

Most people should be able to listen to different sides of arguments, get info from the media, maybe fact check on Google, then go back to the skill building required of their careers. We shouldn't have to become our own journalists (Though it is great that some do just because they have that passion for following politics).

I can honestly say at this moment that I have not looked up the definition or meaning.
If someone stuck a microphone and camera in my face and asked me what it meant I would say, "to me socialism means having the government own everything and micromanaging every aspect of your life."
If that is the actual definition, the US is socialist but we don't yet realize it and the implementation has not yet reached its climax.

I was taught that it is a forcing someone, at the barrel of a gun, to pay for something for someone else.

Well then we are truly socialists.

[VIDEODROME]

What if smart people have better things to do and actively avoid attention seeking news crews like this?

[donnay]

Well then we are truly socialists.

Yep for a long time now.

Have you ever looked at 'the Communist Manifesto?'

some do no doubt, but not the one's who are unprepared to answer simple questions like, what is the definition of the political ideology or economic ideology you support.

I agree with you, they have no basis. I guess what you are saying these people have a firmly held belief or opinion in, nothing. meh

I think of socialism as anything that is not individualism. Socialism sounds a lot like "social". So what's wrong with being social? To which I reply, individualism sounds a lot like individual. So what's wrong with being an individual?

I don't think socialism is the opposite of individualism. However, i do think individualism is the root of freedom where socialism requires the individual to give up freedom to maintain the illusion of social freedom.

Socialism is a deception in the sense that one can exist outside of the socialist construct. One cannot exist outside the individual construct. Socialism is escaping the idea of maintaining one's own uniqueness and identity. Socialism dehumanizes the individual with the goal of animating the concept of standard relationships between individuals.

Socialism in practice is the maintenance of involuntary relationships through economic force.
