Too many scoundrels.

Any political, economic or social system can easily go awry. If manipulated by scoundrels. Such as Republicans. Or corrupt communists. That’s why democracy in America has gone wrong. And why communism failed in the Soviet Union. If run properly, both democracy and communism can succeed. Just depends on who’s running the show. Either system could work. But it takes some ingenuity. And honesty. And transparency. Yes, a degree of understanding and tolerance, too. It’s called open-mindedness. Good people can co-exist and even thrive under political systems that are very much different. But bad people can’t. And that’s exactly what we have too much of in this world. Scoundrels. –Jim Broede
