Assuming the Democrats also win the Senate along with the White House, we may be poised to take a big leap in the direction of bigger government and more statism (which is why I explained a Clinton victory in 2016 would not have been the worst possible outcome).
As such, we may as well enjoy some laughs about our potential socialist future.
We’ll start with a creative reinterpretation of a scene from King of the Hill.
Looks like we’ll have to figure out other ways of rescuing young people from socialism.
Here’s a clever tweet from @ClassicLiberal.
Having visited Moscow shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, I can assure you that socialist economies do a terrible job of producing goods that consumers actually value.
I’ve written many times about people on the left not understanding the real definition of socialism (government ownership, central planning, and price controls), so this next meme appealed to me.
And it also will appeal to me left-leaning friends since it shows that some folks on the right also don’t understand that the debate over socialism is not the same as the debate over redistributionism.
Last but not least, here’s the humorous version of my full-socialism-vs-full-stomachs column.
Very similar to the last memes in this column and this column.
Though, given what’s happening in Venezuela, we probably shouldn’t laugh.
P.S. For more examples of socialism humor, here’s a link to my collection.

Socialists often start out asking questions like, “How can we give everyone a free college education?” and “How can we guarantee everyone quality medicare?” But they always end up asking questions like, “How can we get children to turn their parents in to the secret police?” and “How can we get enough bullets to put down the food riots?”
There was one on twitter where a kid was on the phone with a buddy, all unworried abt the glitch that led to dogs being eaten, but the dog was listening… It’d be a shame to spoil the cartoon, and it is worth ferreting out.
