It’s Called “Communism”, Dear

FFS, are these clowns serious?

Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang said the United States may have to eliminate private car ownership to combat climate change during MSNBC’s climate forum at Georgetown University Thursday morning.
He told MSNBC host Ali Velshi that “we might not own our own cars” by 2050 to wean the United States economy off of fossil fuels, describing private car ownership as “really inefficient and bad for the environment.” Privately owned cars would be replaced by a “constant roving fleet of electric cars.”

Ah yes, it’s all about “efficiency” (a recurring motif for totalitarians) and the environment.  And who will be the actual owner of this “constant roving fleet of electric cars”?  You bet it will be the State, either local government or similar.  (And just try to catch one of these electric Noddy cars to go to a gun show… “Forbidden destination;  please choose another.”)

You have to give it to them:  they’re going Full Lenin on this one.  No private ownership of cars, and — duh — no private ownership of guns.  And by the time they’ve implemented inflicted their third Five Year Plan on our economy, nobody* will be able to afford their own house, so we’ll all be living in State-owned apartments.

And Yang is supposed to be one of the moderate clowns?

This isn’t serious public policy;  this is middle-school daydreaming — right up until one of these socialist assholes gets his/her/xeir hands on the levers of power, when blue-sky unicorn-fart dreaming will become the law of the land.

And then the joke will be on the rest of us.


*nobody except the nomenklatura, of course — they’ll still own houses, cars (and probably guns too).

  1. Get rid of the flying 100 ton missles dragging 40 mile contrails first, then we’ll talk.
    Until then, STFU.

  2. Somehow, I don’t think that the electric cars are going to rove to my rural neighborhood very much. But it is OK since they don’t have the range to get me to the doctor in the nearest urban shithole anyway.

  3. These dipshits are all under the impression that everyone lives in either the city or the suburbs, where “a constant roving fleet of electric cars” may have some utility. From where I sit right now the nearest grocery store is a 15 minute drive away, the hardware store is 20, my doctor is almost 30, and if I want to do some real shopping I have to drive 45 minutes. Each way. And I’m by no means in the middle of nowhere.

    So tell me, how long will I need to wait for one of those electric cars to take me to a doctor’s appointment? And will that electric car actually make the trip without stopping to recharge?

    I learned a long time ago that communists are either stupid, crazy or evil. Stupid because they think it could work, crazy because they’ll keep trying despite the fact that it’s NEVER worked (Einstien’s definition of insanity), or evil because they KNOW it won’t work, but they intend to be among those on the top.

    Hang ’em all now, avoid the rush.

    1. Well, they want us all living in Soviet-style downtown apartment towers, so from their perspective where you live now is irrelevant. Once they’ve got you ensconced in your termite tower, you’ll be able to go everywhere they want you to go, via mass transit or walking.

      1. But only if your Social Credit score is high enough. If it’s not, well, tough shitski, deplorable peasant. No place to live, not allowed on public transit, and no more cash, so you’d be reduced to literally begging for some bread or turning to crime.

  4. Communists and socialists always see themselves as a kommissar in a dacha, they never see themselves as a worker (or, eventually, a corpse) in a labor camp.

  5. Why do these candidates, I mean idiots, think they have the power to enact any of these insane plans? The Obamas bought a beachfront mansion. That’s all you need to know about this hoax. They don’t even pretend to believe it.
