In terms of the stated purpose of Constitutional Government in America, the very suggestion of this article demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding. There is no way our Federal Government can possibly--that is legally--give "Socialism a try."
Our stated purpose is securing the "Blessings of Liberty" to a specific "posterity." Crack pots with egalitarian theories simply have no right--that is no legal right--to tamper with the American heritage,

Its time to give socialism a try If you are sincere at exposing the ignorance of those espousing Socialism all one need do is ask; how does your idea of socialism reconcile with the Supreme Law of the Land?

but my answer is admittedly more ambitious: Its time to give socialism a try kill another few hundred millions of people. ...because that is what it always boils down to. Liberals, they just don't get it...whether well-meaning idiots or just plain evil idiots, idiots they are, and will always be.

guaranteed by their nature to succeed There is nothing in our founding documents that guarantees success. The Golden Apple surrounded by a Silver Frame provides the opportunity to strive for success but there can be no guarantees. The only guarantee in the Constitution is a Republican Form of Government.
This article points out the Washington Post Agenda more than it points out Elizabeth Bruenigs ignorance of her countries founding.

What kind of b.s. article is this? Authoress just ignores history, or is ignorant thereof, and just spouts “I think we should try socialism”. Why not Nazism, Stalinism, or Pol Pot ism?

“I would support a kind of socialism that would be democratic...”
It’s an oxymoron. You can’t redistribute wealth if people have liberty and are free to say “no thanks, I’d rather not”. It can only be done with the use of force. Sure, you might wait until you can rig a symbolic vote before you use that force, but the force is coming one way or another.

“what does decommodifying labor mean?”
Know-nothing socialist thinks it means: “you get paid regardless of how much you work”
Real socialist application would be: “you work regardless of how much you get paid”
