A couple days ago I ran into a wannabe revolutionary Tumblr communist on my way to history class. We both happen to be in the same graduate program (Slavic Studies) so we started up a chat about why Americans are being drawn to socialism (didn't realize she was a hardcore Sandernista), seemingly in defiance of the fact the Soviet Union proved the experiment failed.
Her answer? "What they were doing wasn't real socialism."
I tried to explain to her that yes, it was. Down to the last detail. Went over everything from economic policies to government structure and everything in-between. She looked at me like I was nuts and said I "drank the bourgeois koolaid."
