I've always wondered the why most right wingers deride the federal government, while doing everything possible to be at the helm of such a government.
They seem to simply love capitalism while neglecting that such capitalism could not flourish and even survive without the democratic (and, YES, socialistic) precepts that workers are just as valuable as corporations.
The idea that workers have value is not socialist.
Hang on... Socialism at its core is about society solving problems rather than individuals. To say socialism doesn't work in America is to say America doesn't function well as a society... That is quite anti American statement.
I think putting people in charge of a society who doesn't think the society works and wants to weaken the society is fundamentally flawed. As it would mean American society would be weakened and thus America itself would be weakened.
Socialism is the problem solving method where all you have is a hammer, and thus every problem looks like a nail.
You are confusing society with government control of every aspect of ones life, which is what socialism ends up being.
