The liberals I know don't seem to understand the problem with their core belief, which is that the US would be so much better if it cherry-picked the "best" parts of socialism and discarded the parts about gulags and such. They simply have no ability to grasp that every system has its own good and bad elements, and you can't simply "pick" parts and graft them to a completely incompatible system.

The liberals argue (several have used these precise same words) "But socialism has never been done properly!" As I've said many times here, when capitalism is not done perfectly, there are people out of work; when socialism is not done perfectly, there are gulags and mass graves. And there's no such thing as perfect.

I've been on an anti-socialist rant for some time. I get extremely irritated that I bump into them on FR. Usually on the medical related threads.

Socialism has only killed 100 million, can't we try it one more time?

Concisely expressed. I'll have to remember that one!
