Given any sense of history, particularly how it ended for the USSR, I too am baffled how anyone could take socialism/communism to be any more credible than the old earth is flat theory.
IMHO any young American who buys into socialist notions should go spend a week in Cuba and see first hand the benefits of decades of "the worker's paradise."
