As we know, the public schools stopped teaching history (other than the revisionist variety), geography and comparative ideologies years ago. Unfortunately we’re now we’re seeing the inevitable real-world results of that knowledge deficit ~

 
Bernie Sanders crushed Hillary Clinton by 70 points among young voters in Iowa ~

The most amazing stat coming out of the Iowa Democratic caucuses is this one: Among voters between the ages of 17 and 29, Bernie Sanders won 84 percent of the vote to Hillary Clinton’s 14 percent.

Early indoctrination isn’t the only factor at work. Sanders is popular with the barely-out-of-college set because most of them have yet to experience reality on any significant basis. They still think money grows on trees – apparently in the back yards of the evil One Percenters. And if they vote for old Bern he’ll see to it that they get their “fair” share of the harvest ~

So you really can’t blame the millennials, it’s their demographic; the young and the idealistically delusional. And it’s the public school mis-education they’ve received – reinforced by a factor of 10 if they’ve been to college. For the kids in that video “socialism,” has no negative connotations at all. It’s just a warm and fuzzy, feel-good term. After all don’t we all want to get along, embrace diversity, be “social?”
 
Clearly, no one ever told these young people that the Nazis were National Socialists. No one ever assigned them a book report on “The Gulag Archipelago.” They’ve probably never even seen Doctor Zhivago.
 
No doubt most of them would be hard-pressed to locate Venezuela on a map, much less be able to tell you what form of government that country has… Venezuela Is Socialist, Senator Sanders. Any Questions?
 

 
That’s right, if his young voters really want to know what life in Uncle Bernie’s Magical Land of Make Believe will be like they only need to glance south a thousand miles or so. This recent editorial from Investor’s Business Daily offers some perspective ~

Venezuela is teetering on the brink of a horrific economic collapse. It was brought on by one thing: socialism, taken to the hilt.
 
Yet incredibly, neither Bernie Sanders nor his voters make this connection […]
 
Right now Venezuelans are at the logical conclusion of 18 years of democratic socialism, the kind Sanders has praised in the past, and even benefited from, as he accepted Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez’s oil largesse — stolen from Venezuela’s people — for Vermont.
 
Today Venezuela, with the world’s largest oil reserves is, believe it or not, importing oil. It’s a perfect illustration of Nobel-winning economist Milton Friedman’s well known saying that if the Sahara took up socialism, there would soon be a shortage of sand.
 
Socialism has also led to massive shortages of food, toilet paper, diapers and medicine, among many other things, all the result of state planning and currency controls and rampant inflation. After 18 years of socialist spending, inflation has hit 720%, the IMF says. And don’t forget that Venezuela also has the world’s highest crime rate, with Caracas rated the world’s most dangerous city by the Citizens’ Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice.
 
Socialist Venezuela is on the verge of a massive Argentina-sized sovereign debt default, with $10 billion in debt payments due this year, and only $8 billion left to buy imports such as food, according to an appalling analysis in the Financial Times by Ricardo Hausmann. Meanwhile, Venezuela ranks No. 1 in the world on economist Steve Hanke’s Cato Institute “Misery Index” which is his measure of each nations’ combined inflation, unemployment and interest rates.

Thanks to leftist professors and revisionist education – enthusiastically reinforced by the progressive media – Bernie’s young supporters have no clue what real socialism looks like. Oblivious to the threat, they’ll mindlessly pull the lever for Sanders and risk dooming the country to the utter misery of authoritarian rule.
