I feel that's a bit of a strawman.
It's generally closer to: "Every time it's been tried it's been either bad or disastrous, clearly we have no reason to learn from it or try again"
Which I think is fair! Hell, even the original strawman is a fair argument IMO. Fascism didn't work once, and I don't think there's much there to learn from (and we certainly shouldn't try it again).
- minikites 6y agoI don't think the comparison to fascism is fair, as much as some would like to paint it that way. So many things are different now than in 1989, which is not to say a new system would be perfect, but Americans are inventive and we can improve it. We're not at the end of history.
