As I wrote last November, the one good thing about socialism is the endless opportunities it creates for satire.
Indeed, I have an entire collection of socialism humor (along with jabs at communism, its authoritarian cousin).
We’re adding to that page today and our first item involves some commentary on the taste preferences of bees and flies.
For what it’s worth, I think the meme should have targeted Bernie Sanders (a true believer) rather than Joe Biden (a run-of-the-mill careerist politician).
Speaking of Sanders, he and AOC have a starring role in this joke.
Sticking with that theme, the Babylon Bee satirically explains that our socialist friends are incapable of learning from real-world experience. And not just in the field of economics.
Local socialist man Brandon Paul was doing some gardening in his front yard this morning when he had a really good idea: to step on a rake. He’d previously stepped on 79 other rakes, each time resulting in the gardening implement smacking him in the face. But those times weren’t “real stepping on a rake,” he insisted. …Paul stepped on the rake, and sure enough, the handle came flying up and conked him on the face. …At publishing time, Paul had decided he would try democratic stepping on a rake, where his friends all vote on whether he steps on the rake, and then he steps on it and smacks his face.
Ouch, figuratively and literally.
Socialist nations are famous for empty shelves in supermarkets. As this next meme illustrates, they also have empty bookshelves.
Some of my left-leaning readers are probably saying, “Wait, what about Denmark?” And my response is, “Well, what about it?”
As per my tradition, I’ve saved my favorite example for the conclusion.
What makes this final meme both amusing and unfortunate is that it does capture the inherent problem in systems where the link between effort and reward is weakened or broken.

Yet we all know that what Marx criticized in 1848 was what Adam Smith described in 1775: monarchic, monopolistic, religious, slaveholding, force-initiating colonial Mercantilism. This was the same thing Williams of Trinidad described in Capitalism and Slavery. Communicating on your enemy’s terms results in equivocation fallacies such as “communist anarchy is the same thing as Libertarianism.”
