KASPAROV ON BERNIE SANDERS: SOCIALISM CORRODES THE HUMAN SPIRIT

I'm enjoying the irony of American Sanders supporters lecturing me, a former Soviet citizen, on the glories of Socialism and what it really means! Socialism sounds great in speech soundbites and on Facebook, but please keep it there. In practice, it corrodes not only the economy but the human spirit itself, and the ambition and achievement that made modern capitalism possible and brought billions of people out of poverty. Talking about Socialism is a huge luxury, a luxury that was paid for by the successes of capitalism. Income inequality is a huge problem, absolutely. But the idea that the solution is more government, more regulation, more debt, and less risk is dangerously absurd.

Cue the comments about Socialism not being the problem, but a failed Socialist experiment.

Capitalism has failed us miserably. You are one of the most brilliant minds of our time Mr. Kasparov -- but you are missing the obvious move. Socialism is not the problem... the abuse of socialism was the problem.

That reminds me of that Pavlov said about Communism as an experiment. Sure, let's experiment with Socialism some more until everyone is poor or dead.
