Bill Maher on Mamdani, A.O.C., Bernie and Democratic Socialists. So he goes off on the failures of Socialism. [View all]

He shows comparison photos of countries that went from Capitalist dictatorships to socialism. One set showed a city under capitalism and next to it, wooden hovels. Imagine - cities going from skyscrapers to wooden hovels in just a few decades.


Then the warning that this could happen if the U.S. elected people like these.

Comes to my mind, most of us ain't doing too well under our present capitalist/fascists system.
