The way I see it, communism was the “great idea” a century ago and was fairly popular. Blame the rich for everything, redistribute what they have, and anyone not rich benefits which is a large majority. It became unpopular when it failed.

However this new generation forgets that and wants to do it again. You are seeing big government and increasingly outright theft from those perceived as being rich to those perceived as being needy or poor. Where I am you can’t evict a tenant normally you have to use one of a few reasons and rent control is below inflation.

In the end we’re screwing up capitalism and we’re going back to communism. And increasingly the people who pay all the taxes and drive the economy are being painted as an evil enemy. While criminals are being painted as innocent victims driven to commit crime by how bad we were to them.

Canada is already collapsing versus the US despite being richer in resources and land and at one time having the same GDP per capita as the US, and they insist the reason its failing is they haven’t gone left enough. The US is just like Canada so borrowing like a drug addict and is likely going to follow. This massive borrowing is unsustainable.

So I guess the question is what to do? Should we move to an Arabic country? How can we survive this red wave? Has anyone seen a similar future and figured out some ways to survive? Where and in what do I keep my money and where do I keep myself?
