Not-so-funny CIA story about socialist leader

Published:

Here’s a “hypothetical” story for you…

Years ago, there was a rinky-dink country that was socialist.

This country was a dump and socialism was destroying it.

The US government was trying to take down a terrorist in this country and so it had to work with one of the socialist leaders.

The operative who was working closely with this socialist leader once asked him about socialism and said something along the lines of…

“Don’t you care that it doesn’t work and that it’s hurting your country?”

Guess what that socialist leader said?

He said (and I’m paraphrasing)…

“Of course, I know socialism doesn’t work.

Everyone knows that socialism doesn’t work, except if you’re at the top. And I’m in the government at the top and it works well for me.”

Well, I guess, at least for once, the guy was honest.

The funny thing is, this is not the first socialist leader who’s said something similar behind closed doors.

They know it doesn’t work.

But they know they can get votes from it and that they’ll be able to live fat and happy off their government paycheck.

However, as Margaret Thatcher famously said…

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”

With spending in this country about to skyrocket on socialist programs, it’s important to keep an eye on the ball and invest in tangible assets that hold value.

Stay safe,
