Socialism Strikes Again - Bankrupt EU Is Planning
At least one professor in America does not feel the Bern.
University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Professor
Jack Stauder
says his political and ideological conversion away from socialism and
Marxism occurred when he actually witnessed these systems in action.
After traveling to more than 110 countries to pursue various forms of
research, notably cultural anthropology, Stauder described his
conversion from Marxism as a process of disillusionment.
“I gradually became disenchanted with Marxism by visiting many of the
countries that had tried to shape their societies to conform to its
doctrines. I was disillusioned by the realities I saw in … socialist
countries – the USSR, Eastern Europe, China, Cuba, etc,” Stauder told
The College Fix via email.
“I came to recognize that socialism doesn’t work, and that its
‘revolutionary’ imposition inevitably leads to cruelty, injustice and
the loss of freedom,” the professor continued.
