I’m afraid we’re going to do socialism simply because its an alternative we haven’t tried yet.

I believe that much of the impetus for that is that we all share a cultural belief that America can accomplish anything. So the fact that Socialism has never worked anywhere means nothing. In the minds of young socialists, we will make it work because we are Americans.

Also, the latest narrative is that all government functions are Socialism. So if you support police (and fire, if your FD is not volunteer), then you support socialism.

I think that's an excellent observation. Also their belief in technology to solve problems. Now that we have real-time supply chain systems that can be monitored from a central point all we need is for SAP to come out with that Five Year Plan Management module and we'll be good to go.
