Trump is a populist.
They always learn the hard way
It probably won't be the ONLY focus. The markets today are primarily concerned with short-term gains. The gov't may move that focus toward long-term sustainability. Not necessarily a bad thing.
I haven't heard any of them wishing to put roads and air control and defence forces, etc., etc., into private hands.
US citizens have the right to be detained by ICE over their immigration status. I hear ya.
Lol, your "point" is bullshit. You may doubt all you wish, but it doesn't change reality.
Changing the meaning of words is the usual method.
The linked article on which you post is predicated is =in its entirety- a non sequitur logical fallacy. Your premise – that socialists advocate for large amounts of spending on social programs and seek to impose massive regulations does not support your conclusion that that socialism will destroy capitalism and wealth and that we will “run out of money” at some point .After more than one hundred and fifty years of capitalism, there is plenty of money available in the United States for Socialism to work - if money were the only reason it would not. But even if that were true, the money will have to run out and then socialism cannot work.
The False Appeal Of Socialism
Even in its new, fashionable, incarnation, socialism cannot fulfill people’s economic needs or their yearning for freedom.www.hoover.org
Many Americans—particularly but not exclusively the young—remain intrigued by socialism. Indeed, a 2019 survey found that socialism is as popular as capitalism among young American adults. Well-known political figures such as Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez describe themselves as “democratic socialists” and advocate tens of trillions of dollars in new spending programs along with a massive expansion of state power over citizens’ lives. In academic circles, too, the debate surrounding the merits of socialism continues.
Yet, the clothes, the cars, the homes, the books (if any still read them), the devices and the services on those devices, and even their favorite social media influencers are the products of capitalism, brought to them by people in search of profit.
Imagine a version of Youtube in which government committees, rather than popularity driven monetization, paid producers to keep posting content. It would die on the vine or broadcast unwatched content into the ether, unless government decided to somehow mandate consumuing the videos.
"govtube.org" would probably manage to be even less popular than Air America was.
So when whatever socialist world you envision comes about, how will goods and services continue to be produced? Please be specific and step-by-step, not just "by the people's producers!" or some such nonsense.
How will production be motivated, and how will government determine what to produce?
Social Democracy - the top Democracies in the world. Look up the World Democracy Index.
So you advocate capitalism as a way to ensure that socialism can work.
That is actually the exact opposite of what I said. Judging from the turnaround time , I am guessing that you didn't read it very carefully. Try again
I don't know that for a fact . Can you document that?
Do you want capitalism to stay or not?
To see socialism work, you need a little bit of paper, put some tobacco and cannabis in it, roll it up, light it, and smoke it. Let that get through your bloodstream and bingo, you'll see shit loads of fantasy stuff working.After more than one hundred and fifty years of capitalism, there is plenty of money available in the United States for Socialism to work - if money were the only reason it would not. But even if that were true, the money will have to run out and then socialism cannot work.

Oh yes. Absolutely.
