I just got his book in the mail. Can’t wait to start reading it.
Republican Senator Rand Paul recently expressed concern over the rise of socialism among young Democrat voters. While speaking with Breitbart Monday, he slammed politicians such as Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for running on openly socialist platforms.
At least they are open about it.
The Kentucky lawmaker went on to explain that socialism has been responsible for tens of millions of deaths within the last 100 years.
“I think it’s important for this generation to realize what socialism was in the last century, and how it really invariably was associated with violence, with genocide, with famine, with horrible tragedy,” he stated. “And you know, today’s youth seems to have forgotten that.”
It’s not that they have forgotten it. Rather, they have not been taught it, or they were told that “that wasn’t real socialism.”
Senator Paul went on to give examples such as the great famine in China during the 1950’s, which resulted in tens of millions of deaths. Another example was modern-day Venezuela, which is plagued by economic unrest and widespread food and drug shortages. He also cited Scandinavian countries, saying taxes are as high as 25 percent even for lower and middle class workers.
