When Socialism (Equity) is introduced into a classroom, all in the socialistic experiment will fail. Here is a classic example:

TEACHER FAILS ENTIRE CLASS: An economics professor at a local college made a statement that she had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on this plan.” All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

After the first test, the grades were averaged, and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset, and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less, and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the third test rolled around, the average was an F.

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

These are possibly the five best sentences you’ll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

And that my friends is the difference between C*******M and Capitalism. You work hard you improve your life.You wait for someone to give you stuff and lay around you don't have anything.You earn your own you do not depend on others for your needs and wants. You lay around you get what they decide you get.FREEDOM OR S***ERY.

Right now it's a choice between Democratic Socialism and good ole Nationalistic F*****m. I'll stick with Democracy as Hitler proved that Nationalistic F*****m sucks!

tbutkovich

Unfortunately your perspective that the GOP is f*****t is pure Bullschitt!

Instead of you choosing what you consider the lesser of two evils, why not get rid of the Socialist Democrats and re-establish the Republic?

Great expectations of making this plan a reality will occur in the e******n next November.

The nation you are referring to is a Democratic Constitutional Republic.
All because youz on the right are the ones hellbent on destroying it all , favoring what ?
I don’t know nor do they know.

The example that you give is very good; but it is hypothetical, real life is cruder and only the ignorant do not accept its teachings.
We have an example that can be taken from real life in 1958, within the framework of the campaign to increase agriculture in the People's Republic of China, which was called "a great leap forward", Mao Zedong ordered to k**l all the sparrows because they ate too much grain. Immediately, the sycophantic bureaucrats, following the instructions of the Great Helmsman and with tinges of scientific certainty, determined that each sparrow eats four kilos of grain a year and that for every million sparrows k**led, sixty thousand people could be fed .--- ------- "They are enemies of the revolution," roared Mao, and ordered the sparrows to be eliminated, with the conviction and tenacity that revolutionaries always show. ---------- The National Academy of Sciences of the United States, contradicting the "wisdom" of the Great Helmsman, warned that sparrows preferred to eat more insects than grains and that agriculture would become vulnerable to attack by the insects that, suddenly, would no longer have natural predators; but as a good c*******t, Mao did not accept the capitalist councils and redoubled his efforts .--------- It was then the locusts that revealed the “mistake” of the Great Helmsman. And in less than three years, without sparrows to eliminate them, they gobbled up wh**ever farmland they found in their path. The result: a famine, in which tens of millions of Chinese died. ------------- Finally, Mao revoked his campaign. "Forget them," he said of the sparrows, but apparently he was also referring to the millions of Chinese who had died because of his "mistake." Nature had defeated him by giving him a great lesson, making a mockery of the claims he had sown with the aphorism: "ren ding sheng tian" which t***slated from Chinese is: "Man must defeat nature" .----- ------ This is how Socialism works, which puts the fate of the collective in the hands of any madman. The same happened with Lenin, Stalin, Pot Pol and Fidel Castro, just to mention a few.
Here we have the case of Joe Biden, who guided by his puppeteers, without having applied Socialism, is already destroying the nation, attacking energy independence, trying to introduce the Green New Deal, etc., without someone doing something to stop it. You can imagine what they would do if they had already imposed Socialism.

I went to high school in Australia where they grade on a curve ( numbers 1 - 7 on the bell curve ), that means that a student's grade is determined by how every student in the State does on exams. Imagine trying that here, but strangely enough, Australian schools rate far superior to ours in every category.

There is a real lesson here. Thanks for posting!!

American schools are failing because our culture is degenerating. We barely have traditions or culture at all any more. And the problem is the push to give the students "equity" in results rather than "equity" in opportunity. Those who want real results and real success simply move away from those who was a "gift" of success, without the effort to actually earn success. Then, when the successful are asked to pay the way for the "free ride" folks, the successful speak up, as they are beginning to do now.

Reading what you write, your ignorance is known. Both N**if*****m and Socialism have the same father: Marxism.
Democracy is contrary to Socialism, according to Marx socialism imposes the Dictatorship of the Proletariat and a dictatorship is not democratic, it is exercised by a single party.
Although they seem the same: Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism are not the same thing. Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are Socialist not Social Democrat. Bernie was a fan of the Soviets.
It is a total invention that DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM is the one that works in the Scandinavian countries. That is a great fault to the t***h, because in those countries the free market works and Socialism implies a planned economy. Those Nordic countries at one point embarked on the path of Socialism; but they abandoned it.
The experiment that was put into practice here in the USA in 1776 has lasted to this day and all Socialist inventions have failed.
The Chinese had to change course, they went from Bolshevik socialism to f*****m, but they have not stayed there either. It is necessary to analyze with more precision what they did, because they have recognized "private property", but they continue with the one-party system. Is that the system that the "democrats" want?
On the other hand, don't bother to say that N**i-f*****m was not Marxist, because in numerous writings here at OPP I have proven that it was.

Alber

I honestly don't think Bernie Sanders, who was with the Soviets, wants anything democratic. His mind worked in those moments trying to impose the dictatorship of a single party. By chance did the fall of the Soviet Union produced a theophany to him?

You brag about Australia’s schools but my wife just talked to a twenty year old from Sydney and she is planning to get the hell out of that country and come here. They have taken away all the guns of its citizens and it has now become a police state. They have shutdown businesses and have forced many people into lockdown. Their police force have even shot some of its citizens in the back. That demonstrates the products coming out of the Australian School System.

Keep in mind it is Human nature for those who do not understand something, to k**l or destroy it.
Current GQP comes to mind.

Rose42

Its also human nature to let yourself be manipulated. Too many are caught up in left vs right and keep playing that silly game all the while both parties are slowly destroying this country while we let them do it.
