Queen Victoria was born in 1820 and died in 1901. An American secretary today would be ill-served to trade circumstances with Queen Victoria!! She had essentially nothing made of plastic, she had no ability to travel by air and no automobile worthy of the name, if any. And the health care she, and her husband, had would be considered third-world today.And socialism is strictly an anti-progress doctrine, in that any progress must, initially, be unequally distributed. Until - as the examples I have cited illustrate - the progress ultimately gets incorporated into everyone’s standard of living.
