A question for discussion: why are so many rich people socialists and communists? Maybe it has long been true; one could cite the example of Friedrich Engels. But I think there are more rich socialists now than ever. It is almost touching to see Bernie Sanders and friends on their “Fighting Oligarchy Tour.” Someone needs to tell poor Bernie that these days, the oligarchs are mostly on his side.
While I don’t have a solution to the broader puzzle, in some cases the answer lies in plain stupidity. Thus we see this exchange, involving a guy who I take it is a Hollywood actor:
Sometimes when confronted with leftism, all you can do is laugh.
