I'm not a socialist. I cannot live in a socialist country. I can live with socialists/liberals I just don't ever want them in power. I would rather live on a dessert Island, by myself than to live in a socialistically governed country.
You grew up in a socialist country, protected by the USA. In like manner, a socialist Canada, a socialist (SSA) States of America, and the CSA (Conservative States of America) could share defense treaties - like NATO. Although we all know who would do the heavy lifting in that scenario. :)
