Quote of the Day

"The 20th century experimented with every possible variant of socialism. We had democratic socialism in Western Europe, totalitarian socialism in Eastern Europe, and fascist socialism in South America. We had atheistic socialism and we had 'liberation theology.' We had the 'scientific socialism' of the Soviet central planners and the chaotic jungle socialism of the Khmer Rouge, who executed anyone with an education. We had 'socialism with Chinese characteristics' and socialism with African characteristics and socialism with Hindu characteristics. We tried it all, and every time it led to poverty and oppression. Those results have been proven with scientific thoroughness. There is no excuse for trying it all again." --Intellectual Activist editor Robert Tracinski
