Re: After watching the history of Chicago on PBS last night...

Stick it to the rich and powerful. Funny the shrill message Communism, Marxism, Socialism, Facism, and the Democrats in congress hasn't changed in over 100 years...
**************

Obviously that message somehow resonates in the human psyche. Since the rational brain has to observe that every socialist experiment ended in economic failure and worse yet many ended in totalitarian central govts, there has to be a non-rational part of the human nervous system that just gets high on this "message". Factual reasoning based on historical observation gets nowhere with such folks. It's akin to a religious experience. Perhaps a substitute for religion.
