Communism Hasn't Been Done Right. (Yeah, That’s The Ticket.)

The current crop of young Democrat/DSA politicians is testing the leftist theory that communism will work if you just put the right people in charge.

Milli Sands | July 16, 2026

An admission: I am not a fan of communism, socialism, fascism, or Nazism.

That said, I also have an open mind.

And there seem to be lots of people who are fan-boys/girls/trans of the Democratic Socialists of America (“DSA”) who think that having the conglomerate known as the Democrats/Progressive/Liberals (DPLs) embrace them is the right move.

I am willing to accept, with sufficient proof (whenever that comes), that the problem with communism/socialism is one of poor implementation.

After all, great minds such as Noam Chomsky, Richard D. Wolff and Stephen Resnick, and Owen Jones seem to suggest that.

So, I got to thinking about other brilliant ideas that simply have been poorly implemented, but for that would succeed, as would communism/socialism.

Many of these persons have won Darwin Awards.

Some possess skills in their respective areas:

Like the owner of Segway, who, while riding around his estate, learned that scootering along a narrow cliffside path actually can send you plummeting into a river, if not done right.

Or the nutrition fanatic who, for years, was a carrot-eater and set out to show that drinking a gallon of carrot juice every single day to “purify your body” does not cause fatal Vitamin A toxicity and total liver failure. Well, when his liver failed, it proved that he just did not do it right.

Then there are the social media Einsteins trying to demonstrate that:

Holding your urine will not cause damage to the bladder. It doesn’t have to. It just has not been done right.

Eating a tablespoonful of dry cinnamon does not choke you. It doesn’t have to. It just has not been done right.

What is most encouraging about the near-guaranteed success of the upcoming implementation of communism/socialism, i.e., it being done right? The cast of characters:
