I think we should start marking generations not by any fixed window of time, but by the number of times we have to explain, slowly and patiently, that socialism in general and communism in particular simply doesn't work. I'd like to think it's only the young and naive who have to be told about this, but of course that's not the case. Someone is teaching them this stuff, after all.

The more widely and earnestly socialist principals are applied, the greater the disaster.
