That is the general concept. In arguments, folks I know who are Lefties and get frustrated by my argument ALWAYS end the conversation by calling me a “Fascist”. It’s a knee-jerk reflex.
Knee jerk is the right word. They don't THINK.
If they THOUGHT they would see the general failure of communism, even of socialism.
Socialism often works in a country where everyone is generally the same. I saw that in Scandinavia. There is a common Scandinavian "think," that is, that mommy-government can/should/must be the nipple on which ALL suckle.
Americans live in a dog-eat-dog society to many socialist countries like them, but THIS is the BEST place in the world to be (Am I a bit prejudiced?). We have to EARN what we get and that makes us stronger.
Stronger is better because it makes us self-reliant so when gubmint fails, and it often does, or when gubmint runs out of money from the commie/socialist "money tree," which it often does, then the independent people can/will survive AND thrive. The nipple-dependent don't survive or thrive and just WHINE.
