The Mystery of Fetterman

 The Mystery of Fetterman

Fetterman's ad campaign is skewering the esteemed Mehmet Oz, the erstwhile physician and entertainer. Oz's family lives in New Jersey; he served in the Turkish Army, and is a member of the silly entertainment world that no one takes seriously. But Fetterman, for all his dramatic life, is a socialist, a real one, and no socialist should be able to beat any candidate in this free country.

Socialism is a quasi-economic system in which the ownership and management of the nation's production are put in the hands of the people who finished in the bottom third of their class. So the investment, research, management, and distribution of the nation's productivity is controlled by the same guys who planned the Vietnam War, the Iran Embassay defense, the Benghazi non-rescue, the sub-prime crisis, and the withdrawal from Afghanistan. And, of course, there is the uplifting history of socialism in the countless soundtruck democracies and revolutionary riches-to-rags stories

If there are incentives and disincentives for human actions, and if socialism eliminates property, prices, profit, and loss, what will the incentives for action and improvement in society be and where will they lead? Aside, of course, from the usual inefficiencies, corruption, economic despair, and collapse followed by the struggles for power, the gratuitous and revenge killings, and the trials. Then the new revolution to even scores and redistribute the wealth again.

How could any modern man take socialism seriously?
