Better not go to Scandinavian countries, or the Commonwealth countries that seem to think “socialism” works pretty well. BTW: yes, “Democratic Socialism” does require to pay taxes to cover the cost of all those things that are NOT free! The people paid for them over time with those taxes, and saved greatly in such as “out of pocket expenses” for medical care, education, etc… making them much cheaper in the process.
Two explorers into the failed republican conservative policies and programs of the past. Bernie and AOC learning from the past to make a better tomorrow.
The probability of death and destruction is extremely high. Socialism needs a new name to warn of the coming genocide. They know what happens and they want to do it anyway. There are no jobs. Jobs are destroyed. There is no life. Life is destroyed. People naturally resist the commands of the left when they are free, so they must be reigned in. The promised utopia is in their dreams and has failed time and time again. Maybe in 10 years, we can a get serious, smart Congress if we treat it like WWII.
After a couple of hundred years of Democracy people forget what it took to become free and able to rise according to ability. That is when the “unfairness” of ability, initiative, and productive use of time arises. Those lacking these attributes become resentful and demand access to Other People’s Money. The founders had read up on history and tried to create a structure that would stand the test of time. What we now have unfortunately, is another revolution/transformation arising but unlike the one that created the USA, this one is like the destructive one Robespierre put in motion. With some luck traditional Americans will wake the country up enough to propel the Sanders/Cortez/Democrat Party into the same ash heap of history the Jacobins ended up in with ballots not bullets or guillotines.
They’ll have more lasting influence and impact on the country than your cartoon will . . . in fact they already have . . . . that said I like your dawnings.

I don’t see Cheney’s sock puppet there. Or the “deficits don’t matter” guy himself.

Yeah, Mike. Don’t forget to add Sweden, Denmark, Germany and all the other “failed” socialist systems of Europe.

Is Ramirez also commenting on failed religions? I see Thor’s hand and Hammer and Fulad-zereh’s curved sword.

Odd choice. Mikey relates socialism to the new Hitler and ignores the UK, Norway, Sweden, etc.

On the socialist/communist trash-heap of history. Appropriate.

If you stare at the ash heap long enough, you’ll see a flatulent cow.

Nothing to see here. Just more willful ignorance of the difference between dictatorship and socialism.
Meanwhile, Individual 1 will go down in history as the worst traitor against the USA.
