Despite -- or perhaps because of -- an unbroken parade of disasters, leftists always carefully lay out plans for future supremacy as if they must only persuade tribal aborigines of the germ theory. But if it's a failed theory, why is socialism a perennial favorite? Despite a demand for "fairness," the most evocative aspect of socialism is its claim of being secret knowledge realized by a few, a gnostic treasure. This alone guarantees support by cultural esthetes and would-be elites, groups who claim their intelligence and education proves the substance of their beliefs.
But their relentless addiction to failure means Marxists will never be held in universal esteem. Just ask Joe Biden after Afghanistan.
