Go watch this video about socialism now. Or watch it here if I figure out how to embed this.
It's a very nice outline about why socialism isn't a bad idea and already embraced by most Americans. Most of us like the national highway system. One small correction to video: Yes the military is funded by "socialism" but private interests, like the comically evil Dick Cheney, make all the profits. It's a common refrain amongst the left: "Free market rules for the proles, socialism and corporate handouts for the rich." One more thing: we no longer have a labor movement full of socialists. That's by design by labor. Yes that's a mistake.
