Casparov Talks Turkey

Russian Gary Casparov, one of the finest chess players in the world, who once took on 32 chess computers at the same time and beat them all, expounds on socialism, a system he has lived under for years: “I’m enjoying the irony of American Sanders supporters lecturing me, a former Soviet citizen, on the glories of Socialism and what it means! Socialism sounds great in speech soundbites and on Facebook, but please keep it there. In practice, it corrodes not only the economy but the human spirit itself, and the ambition and achievement that made modern capitalism possible and brought billions of people out of poverty. Talking about Socialism is a huge luxury, a luxury that was paid for by the successes of capitalism. Income inequality is a huge problem, absolutely. But the idea that the solution is more government, more regulation, more debt, and less risk is dangerously absurd.” So next time a “socialist dilettante” who thinks he knows all about it because he has read some propaganda about it, tells you all about how great socialism is, tell him to talk to somebody who LIVED under socialism and find out the truth that socialism is a DRAG on any economy and will eventually ruin it, if practiced. (Just common sense)
