People love socialism. It is just a matter of degree of how much they want from it.
In the end, all societies fail as the people learn to vote money from the treasury; meaning money from others.
This is the Takers killing the Makers. Parasites always stupidly kill their host.
Eventually, the Makers fight back and the Takers become subjugated.
That really is what it boils down to.
That usually takes 1,000 to 2,000 years.
Which is why the Left and the Democrat/Communist/Jihadist Party are so accurately self-described as "progressive."
Just like the "progressive" disease of cancer, the "progressive" movement metasticizes into healthy parts of the country and, unless it is removed and destroyed, will ultimately kill the host.
