re: #280 HappyWarrior

It is interesting to see socialism actually have some appeal to the electorate. I saw an asinine assertion that young people are embracing socialism because they figure it must be a good thing if the Republicans are insulting Obama with that label. Conservative intellectualism for ya.

I’m convinced that the powers that be in the US decided to go all-in for feral capitalism once the USSR collapsed and there was no competing model and propaganda effort.

Dozens of Shkreli-type incidents will eventually make a difference.
