Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bogan. So tonight we're going to talk about a meme.

And it's not just a meme in the sense of an image, it's an idea that people have and we're going to look into it.

Understand that nothing I say tonight should be taken as an endorsement of any kind of

state economy. This is just me trying to get to the bottom

of something because the idea is showing up because of Bernie.

Because, you know, if we elect Bernie, we're going to get breadlines because he's a socialist.

Okay, first, Bernie's not a socialist. He's a social democrat. This is made even more confusing

by the fact that he's described often as a Democratic socialist.

None of his policies are socialist.

They are the policies of a social democrat.

Politicians often get described as something they are not.

Take a look at Trump.

He's often described as a Republican when he's really a fascist.

That's how that works.

It's not, it's, he's not a socialist. But the idea, the mean is the breadline thing. Socialism brings poverty. That's the idea. That's the idea. Is it true? There are four countries today that self-identify as Marxist-Leninist.

To keep it simple, with absolutely no nuance, we're just going to say hardcore socialists all right?

Certainly if this idea was true those would be the four poorest countries on the

planet are they? those would be the four poorest countries on the planet.

Are they? No, not even close.

Certainly one of them is at least in like the ten poorest.

No, 10 poorest.

No. 20 poorest.
