The Role of Politicians and the Failures of Socialism

Politicians should prioritize the protection of established rights and represent their constituents effectively, rather than seeking personal enrichment. The ongoing debate around socialism is misguided, as historical evidence shows it has failed, resulting in immense suffering and loss of life. The call for socialism in Europe ignores past lessons, with current proponents displaying a lack of understanding of its consequences. There is a noticeable disconnect in how socialism is perceived and discussed, especially in light of failed examples like Venezuela, which have little relevance to American or global economic structures. A return to conservative principles in political discourse may be necessary to counteract the rise of harmful ideologies.
