Nobody Learned from Communism

It’s not just the European cultural habit of licking the boot that kicks you, the continued condensed stupidity of statism continues.

The statist system remained in place for a mere 45 years. Yet within just a few years, East Germany became a backward, hungry, incompetent, lazy third-world society and remained that way for the entire 45 years. When liberated from the statist shackles, East Germans remained disproportionately lazy, incompetent, third-worlders, sentimental for the old statist disaster.

And it seems for those of a leftist sensibility that they still haven’t learned the lesson. I’m sure it’s obscured by the idea that under socialism, there is “something for nothing” for everyone.
