Uh. No.

If you want socialism, move to a country that already has it.

You would probably be back soon.

"WTF does this even mean?"

I want benevolent socialism that actually works (i.e. a 'unicorn').

For Elizabeth and her ilk, it’s way past time for some “sensible speech control.”

Sorry princess. You might want to do a little research on the bull**** you are spewing. Once you “give socialism a try”, a lot of blood has to be spilled to get your freedom back. DON’T BE A DUMBSH*T, READ A HISTORY BOOK EVERY NOW AND THEN. If YOU want to “give socialism a try”, move to a socialist country, b*tch!

As Winston Churchill said, socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.

I have a big problem with her false choice. How is capitalism failing in”this trumpist moment”?

Also I had to look her up. She looks like she is a teenager. The last thing this country needs is for it to be re engineered by someone with no life experience.

Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, Just to name some current examples - This moronic woman probably never read William Bradford’s account of the Plymounth Plantation - America’s first recorded (and failed) attempt at socialism.

"decommodifying labor"

Then you don't want socialism. Socialism is the world's worst economic plan for commodifying labor.

Someone should put together a list of countries that have “tried socialism” that have collapsed during the existence of the United States.

I don’t think anyone at the WaPo will ever be mistaken for a genuine ‘intellectual’.
