Socialism seems to act like a societal micronutrient. A deficiency leads to the possibility of wide range of social sicknesses whereas overdosing on it (communism) is acutely (one generation) fatal.
Like everything else, moderation and balance.
- gridlockd 7y agoLook at the parliaments of European countries, actual socialists are generally in the small minority. People mistake socialism with social democracy, which is more or less the same as what moderate democrats in the US are espousing.
