Anyone who spend time following the news can tell you of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the millennial congresswoman from New York’s Fourteenth congressional district, or Bernard Sanders, the senator from Vermont. If you inquire further they may tell you of the policies they espouse, both seemingly wonderful and terrible, such as “free healthcare,”, “free education” and a tax rate of 70%. Ideas that may seem good on paper but falls apart in practice and does nothing for society but move us closer towards Communist Tyranny.

“Democratic Socialists” proposes the Utopian idea that to the uneducated masses seem to make sense, yet the logic behind such theories are flimsy at best and easily disproven by those with a sharp mind, keen sense of logic and a basic understanding of basic economics, all three of which I possess.

“Facts don’t care about your feelings,” - Benjamin Shapiro

In this article I hope to systematically disprove the Communistic proposal for Universal Healthcare, a minimum wage of fifteen dollars, Free higher education and progressive taxation.

One of the core principles of the “Democratic Socialist,” is to uphold healthcare for all as a right. But to understand and in extension take apart this concept we have to understand what is a right? According to Google Dictionary, a right is;

a moral or legal entitlement to have or do something. - Google Dictionary (google.com)

The key word in this sentence is “entitlement,” why should someone be entitled to something he/she did not earn through hard work? Why should an exploitative class of people take parts of my labour value for themselves in a system where I have no choice but to take part in or starve? What makes them entitled to my surplus value? All they are doing with this talk of “entitlements”, is proving themselves to be thieves and robber barons who seek to swindle us out of what is rightfully ours.
