The reason I went down this path is due to something that really concerns me.
I think the definition of socialism has shifted. And because of this there is this false idea that socialism works. The true socialists believe in the destruction of free markets and they are perfectly happy for people to be left in the dark about the bait and switch.
There are countries like Sweden that many Americans think are socialist. Sweden is not. It has a massive welfare state but in some ways has more free markets than the US. They tried socialism in the past and it did not go well. So they rolled it back.
People wonder why so many people are in love with socialism. I think it is because they do not know what it actually is and are being deceived.
