What people fail to understand is the difference between liberalism, communism, and socialism. Liberalism is the wishful thinking, the idiocy despite the warnings of common sense, a wanting for a system that we all know doesn't work. Communism is the supremely delusional attempt to make it happen, with the brutal audacity and recklessly callous disregard for the results. Socialism is the state in between where it mostly ends up. A cynical selling out of inane ideals that could never be, to the very things those people rail about. The result is crony capitalism, what we have now. Power and money for the blessed connected and bupkus for the people. It's time to change that.
