Socialism: An Infantile Disorder

My last "Mitchell Langbert Moment"  for the Glazov Gang season, "Socialism: An Infantile Disorder," appears here.  Jamie Glazov writes:

This new edition of the Glazov Gang presents Prof. Mitchell Langbert, a professor of business at Brooklyn College, the City University of New York. Last year totalitarian university professors, anti-First Amendment Antifa students, and the national media waged a concerted campaign to have him fired.

Prof. Langbert focuses on Socialism — An Infantile Disorder, unveiling the derangement of our establishment media, Bernie Sanders and the “Radical Squad”.

I add this: Given the consistent failure of socialism;  its close association with the gravest mass murders in history; and the scientific knowledge, by now nearly 100 years old, that socialism cannot possibly be as efficient as free market capitalism, the question as to why university professors, their students, the national media, and a wide swath of American elites continue to advocate a deranged policy choice deserves more careful study.

Where can I find a copy of your Harvard transcript and a copy of your three most recent tax returns? If they are not yet public, may I please have a copy.

Thank you,

TV News Becoming a Fringe Source

It is time to revisit the Pew poll in 2016 that found that 57% of Americans get their news from television. Pew found an age-related trend, with 50% of those 18-29 relying on Internet sources but 85% of those 65 and over relying on television.  The recent Mueller testimony and the American media's embarrassing, deceitful performance with respect to the Russia collusion hoax have blown the lid open:  Big media is  a partisan, deceitful force. That was always true, but they have never before been so sloppy and so open about their pro-Democratic Party and pro-deep state lying and propaganda.  The Mueller investigation may be a watershed in Americans' recognition that their press is fraudulent, TV news is fraudulent,  and leading Internet sites are fraudulent.   We may be looking at a future in which TV news is so discredited that that it will become a fringe, crank source like the National Enquirer or left-wing tabloids sold at the gates of college campuses. 

Program Idea for the Department of Education

Dear Mr. President:

The Department of Education should formulate two educational programs concerning socialism.  One would be addressed to fifth graders and the other to tenth graders.  The programs would be the product of leading historians and economists, who would educate students as to the history of socialism, its economic failure, its political failure, and its history of mass murder.  The showing of the two programs would be a prerequisite for states’ eligibility for federal aid.

Zilvinas Silenas, a refugee from Lithuania and the new president of the Foundation for Economic Education, recently appeared in an interview on Dan Elmendorf’s Redeemer Broadcasting (http://redeemerbroadcasting.org/content/plain-answer-podcasts / A Plain Answer: A Case Study - Socialism as it was in Lithuania - Zilvinas Silenas ).  In the interview Silenas describes in vivid detail the horrible realities of socialism. Material like this could be combined with history that short circuits the left-wing indoctrination that is occurring in America’s schools.  Indeed, a discussion of political correctness and biases in the educational system should be a part of the presentation, which would be given in one-to-two-hour assemblies of students. 

The chief argument against this idea is that it can be coopted and turned into a pro-socialist presentation when the Democrats gain power.  However, such a step would create a focal point for debate, for much of the subversion currently occurs more subtly.

Along with Silenas and FEE, Peter Wood of the National Association of Scholars could help appoint a commission that would create the presentation.

Something needs to be done now about the misinformation in which American students are being indoctrinated.   

Sincerely,

Mitchell Langbert, Ph.D.
