Question though?
Exactly who’s God do “we” determine we’ll be governed under?

Um . . . the only One Who has provided a self-verifying Revelation???

Yeah, nobody knows what socialism is but it’s the great hope. People who espouse it don’t know — Cortez are these EYES that come rolling around like overgrown marbles making clicking sounds as they bump into each other and she says trust me, trust my eyes and glamour, trust my expensive clothes that you’ll have too. And the guy with the Che T shirt says, “Yeah, maybe I’ll get laid.” But Goldberg will write and write like a therapy session and he can’t even see beyond his Trump hating nose. It’s too confusing for him what’s right in front of him. If he can’t figure Trump out forget socialism.

The best bet is that socialism is cool and for millennials because they don’t want work to negatively affect their creativity. Life is being glamours on Facebook like Ms. Rolling EYES.

So don’t make sense of any of it because there is no sense to be made...

The socialist argument against capitalism isn’t that it makes us poor,” he writes. “It’s that it makes us unfree.”

Force is incompatible with circumstantial freedom of self-realization, and political freedom. It takes force to establish a state monopoly that controls private ownership of the means of production, universal wage and price controls,central planning of the economy, socialist quota system,exploitation and powerlessness of the masses,oppression of the masses,forced labor, inequitable distribution of wealth and concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few leaders,aristocratic privilege and elitist court society for leaders and their favorites, terror, and mass death.

Both Nobel Luateate economists F,A.Hayek and Milton Friedman recognized that socialism inevitably leads to a loss of individual liberty and can quickly evolve into a totalitarian state.
