You assume that she is ignorant about the failures of Socialism? She isn’t. She is as much of true believer as she is a Bronx native. She is a liar trying to perpetuate a system that will afford her almost unlimited power over her fellow man. That is the purpose of socialism.
You mention that she is after “unlimited power”, but in my post, I said this:
“But, socialism is not about helping the poor and the needy; it’s about control. Socialism eventually turns into communism, and deep in their hearts, all socialists are communists.”
In other words, it’s about control of the people, which amounts to the same as “unlimited power”.
Socialism is about promises in order to attain complete control of the people and the economy and the country, and to achieve that end, they inevitably need to turn to complete control: aka: communism.
