"There is no talk of an economic engine in the new world order. It’s because money comes from somewhere unknown, like an allowance from your parents."

I agree. We get to prove that liberalism won't work.
It will be painful for almost everybody.

We "get to" live through the proof that liberalism socialism still doesn’t work, any more now than in Plymouth Bay colony, or than it did in the church of Jerusalem in the days of St. Paul.

At most, the experience will cause socialists to coopt another word, they way they did with “liberalism” in the 1920s (reference: Safire’s New Political Dictionary) and progressive (The Congress shall have power . . . To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries - “progress" did not originally mean socialism).

I consider it obvious that the meaning of “liberalism” could not have been inverted within a decade without the active support of wire service journalism. When I’m writing, I want to have “liberalism” in scare quotes when the actual meaning is socialism.
