“Let them discover the truth—Socialism does not work—never has, never will.”

I must beg to differ. Socialism works perfectly for its actual purpose - to secure power permanently for the socialists in charge. Of course it’s a disaster for “the people”, but when have the vanguard party ever cared about them?

Not quite. Socialism works to concentrate power. Democratic socialism acquires power by selling promises to a majority but by funding the unproductive necessarily goes into debt. That puts the real power into the hands of the lenders.

That's why limousine liberals. The deals are concluded at bond auctions with sales in the form of regulations controlling markets. Of course, that is destructive to wealth production. Hence the spiral of debt.
