SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST

At the end of the "War to End All Wars", WWI, the Russian Czar was overthrown and a Republic was formed.  The Communists quickly took over and destroyed the Republic before it even got started.  Between the wars Russia became a dictatorship and the destruction of the economy and the murder of millions of Russians under Stalin resulted.
Was it intended to be that way?  I doubt it, but it was bound to happen!
In the recent election candidate Bernie Sanders called himself "A Democratic Socialist".   Is there such a thing?  Can there be such a thing? No, and here is why.
First of all Socialism has to offer something in exchange for support.  Something like a wage for everyone, a home for everyone, equal pay for all, insurance for all, etc, etc.
What was Bernie offering in his campaign?  Free college for everyone who wanted it.  Healthcare for all.  One should not have to do without needed services just because they could not pay.  It all sounds great and many people, especially the young, bought into the idea.
But the problem is that as soon as people find out that they can have part of what you have they quit striving and take yours instead.  As soon as people find out they can vote themselves a portion of what is yours the country is doomed!
It all started when Adam and Eve got kicked out of the garden and man has been finding ways to destroy himself ever since!...Medicineman!
