Jaboukie Young-White of The Daily Show asked young people what they thought of socialism. “Socialism is on point!” said one. Then she admits, “I don’t really know what socialism means.”
Tokarev knows. She learned not just from our videos, but from her dad, who grew up under socialism in Bulgaria. Not only were people poor, but modern music was even banned. …
“What does music have to do with socialism versus capitalism?” I ask.
“Everything!” she responds. “In one system, you’re allowed to enjoy it freely. In another system, you’re being controlled.”
[Be sure to read it all. I’m glad Stossel is still fighting in the trenches against socialism. Tomorrow I’ll have an interview with Jacob Howland about the University of Austin, which proposes to fight for classical values as an alternative to the Academia establishment. — Ed]
