We already have enough socialism in this country. We need to balance Capitalism (Market Economy that Creates Wealth) Supply side with wealth capture demand side.
Start with bringing down the $2T annual federal deficit or we’re screwed. I had hopes for DOGE.

“socialism has repeatedly led to famine and mass murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people worldwide,”
——-

What’s interesting, scholars vary on the estimates (some argue closer to 150 or 200 millions) but these death toll estimates aren’t counting the wars, of which there were plenty including world war types. These numbers just reflect various collectivist or totalitarian regimes wiping out their citizenry. Soviets and the Kulaks, Mao’s brigades, Pol Pot, etc. Your “government” at work.

What’s especially galling in this country is various leftist twats in and out of government royally screwing things up over the years - and then blaming “capitalism”.

Younger generations particularly have every reason to be outraged, but the leftists must make certain that they never, ever ever connect the dots and focus their justifiable rage where it really belongs. This is a full time avocation for the “media” and the usual suspects, so in a way it’s kind of fun to watch.

Crony capitalism is an economic system where business success is based on close relationships between business leaders and government officials, rather than on fair competition. This results in favoritism through government grants, tax breaks, and special treatment, which can lead to market distortions, monopolies, and a lack of innovation.

Seems like USA.

That’s the reason for socialism but it only benefits the few that think they, being better than everyone else, is entitled to the fruits of the labor of those they enslave.
