The triumph of Bill Ayers

By Monica Showalter November 12, 2017

Yes, there have been stories about young people turning to socialism. One of the latest polls shows that a majority of millenials would prefer to live under a socialist, fascist or communist system rather than a capitalist one.

But thing are getting a bit more disturbing now that elections have been happening. Turns out one of the Virginia Democrats elected in last week's special election. Lee Carter, is a young unreconstructed socialist, and a member of the far-left Democratic Socialists of America. That organization has seen a fivefold increase in its membership, from about 6,000 to now 30,000. You can bet the Communist Party U.S.A., now run in part by the fairly youthful and charismatic Libero della Piana, is seeing similar membership numbers rise.

Disillusion with free markets and capitalism is often cited as the reason for this phenomenon. According to an interview with a millennial socialist in The Guardian:

“Everyone has student loan debt and everyone’s rents are exorbitant and everyone’s paying like $300-a-month premiums for Obamacare. It’s common sense for people my age.”

The problem with that statement is that none of those complaints have anything to do with capitalism, they are byproducts of creeping socialism. Rents are high because leftist NIMBYs refuse to allow housing to be built. Student loan debt is a direct function of government funds freely available to universities for loans, which gives them every incentive to raise prices sky high. Obamacare speaks for itself, there's no freedom of choice in its mandates for insurance companies and no willing-buyer, willing seller dynamic for consumers. All of these are full blown byproducts of socialism. Want more of these horrors?

By all means elect more socialists.  And that's where the issue of ignorance rolls in. Millennials have no education to speak of on the horrors of socialism. That may well be the triumph of the influence of President Obama's mentor, Bill Ayers, who made it his lifework to destroy America as a free society. When the Weatherman terrorist gig didn't work out, he turned to early childhood education. Much of what is known from the news is that he favored leftist sops to the teachers unions such as smaller classroom sizes. Much of what isn't known is how deeply he infused educational lessons into indoctrination, an indoctrination that promoted Marxism and ignored the crimes of socialism. ......To Read More.....

My Take - Make no mistake about this - this is exactly what a great many of America's leaders - in both parties - of the 20th century have been working for.  None of this could have happened without their support, their legislation and the taxes they're coercing from Americans. 

The only answer is to end all funding for higher education.  End all federal government interference and funding in state education.  End union representation of teachers and allow boards of education to end the failed concept of tenure.  End tenure at all levels including so-called higher education.  Make all universities self funding for profit institutions.   

What will happen?  A great many of them will close and these leftist loons will have to go out and get real jobs.  A great many kids who should have never been in college in the first place won't have student loans they can't repay.  These pampered and arrogant professors will actually have to start teaching classes - and at a salary more commensurate with what they're worth.  And since I think they're overpaid, over pampered, over arrogant, underworked - that will be a lot less than they're getting now.  Those colleges and universities left will have to sell themselves on their ability to actually teach something worthwhile or go out of business. 

Which is where most of them should be - out of business. 

Let's stop treating education as a sacred cow that can't be questioned.  They're supposed to be providing a service and they have to be held accountable for what the services they provide - just as every other service provider does. 

What I don't understand is how they're not being sued by these parents and kids for the con job they've done on the public, and that's part of the answer.  Sue-em.
