George Will on Zorhan Mamdani: "I want him to win. I think every 20 years or so, we need a conspicuous, confined experiment with socialism so we can crack it up again."


Socialists' slogan used to be, 'workers of the world, unite,' 'you have nothing to lose but your chains.' The new socialist slogan is, 'Trust us, this time it won't be a mess.' So, you know, when the post-war labor government in Britain was about to get started, one of their leading lights was a socialist named Aneurin Bevan.

He said, 'What could go wrong?' He said, 'We have a nation bedded on coal, surrounded by fish. It would take an organizational genius to have a shortage of either.'

In three years, they had a shortage of both. That's socialism.

Socialism. It sucks. Objectively.

But some people need to learn.
