Socialism is indeed for dummies. The stupidity of advocating for something that has failed time and time again would be.
Name a first world nation that doesn't use social democracy! Name just one nation that doesn't tax its citizens to pave their roads, invest in their children's education, pay their police and have regulations.
There's a difference between pure socialism(marxism, Stalinism, etc) that is truly a centrally planned nationalized economic system and social democracy that is a hybrid that is used by everyone throughout all of civilization.
Like those police you pay for your taxes? Well, you maybe a supporter of social democracy!
Like driving on roads? You maybe a supporter of social democracy!
Like clean water, food, and not seeing most of your country being poorer then shit like in africa??? You might be a supporter of social democracy.
Fact.
