** 12-Sep-2020 World View: Socialists and Pirates
Socialists don't hook up with pirates on day one. On day one they
start confiscating the money of the people who are going to live in
their Socialist Paradise -- for the people's own good. After they run
out of other people's money, that's when the hook up with any and all
pirates, crooks, criminals, drug dealers, dictators, etc., they can
find. They also starve, torture, jail and execute their political
opponents still living in their Socialist Paradise.
If you're familiar with the plot of South Pacific, then you know that
Nellie Forbush was just posturing and making meaningless political
gestures in order to gain the support of the nurses. Once Émile de
Becque, a former pirate and murderer, showed up on horseback at the
end of that very scene, she embraced everything the she had claimed to
have washed out of her hair. For Socialists, embracing piracy and
criminals is never farther away than a shower and shampoo.
