One of the ways to effectively push back at those who defend Socialism is to demand they evaluate the results. They are fond of pushing policy because they say it is fair or compassionate but these are false assertions easily debunked by an evaluation of RESULTS.
But schools are socialist, we already embrace socialism, right? Well, no. We have private schools and home school so education is NOT socialism. It’s true a socialist model is being pushed onto education but how’s it working? Miserably! Our children are getting extremely poor education.
Police? Highways? Socialism! Well no, the founders detailed clearly the role of federal government to maintain interstate fairness (taxes) but the vast majority of all laws and services were intended to be State controlled. I suppose a state could choose socialism but NOT the federal government.
Socialism is unapologetically not possible at the federal level under our constitution
