      The funny thing is that Americans do want socialism, they just don’t want the word socialism as they’ve been told their entire lives that’s the enemy

        Oh yeah? Go ask some elderly folks if they want their Medicare and Social Security to go away. I asked that to some aging folks and the look of shock on their faces left an impression I’ll never forget.

          Social welfare isn’t socialism… If you’re the type of person who thinks Bernie Sanders is socialist or that Sweden is an example of socialism, then you don’t know what socialism is.
