Truman on Socialism

I didn't call anyone a name. I just said socialism is covetousness, and you just decided to set up a straw man based on your opinion on what is beneficial. Do you think the government is working for you?
are you familiar with the concept of a straw man argument? Asking honestly.
How will the democrats not enlarge the government even more than this current administration? Do you really think we will elect "the right" people? Who are the right people according to you? See how this becomes crazy.

Your answer is turn to a man who has been in government for 50 years proclaiming that he will change the government.
You still have hope in our government....whether you say so or not. Trump let individual states decide things in regards to covid...and has been crucified for it. Let FREEDOM ring!
It was for freedom that Christ set us free! Galatians 5:1
Give me one example of socialism that has worked... (we both know that Scandinavia doesn't count as true socialism, and they are also homogenous in thought, culture, and race, which we are not)

The world still waits for one that works...
The problem with both socialism/communism and capitalism is this: People are evil, greedy, and corrupt--this is the downfall of both systems. One system gives power to a few individuals to decide what is good for everyone, the other allows individual freedom and largely (not perfectly) equal opportunity for others to succeed.
The solution isn't to scrap capitalism in favor of letting a couple people decide "what is best" for everyone. individual Freedom and responsibility is always better.
Sorry Bernie Bros But Nordic Countries Are Not Socialist
As much as liberals like to use Nordic countries as examples that socialism and successful societies can co-exist, the reality is that these countries are not socialist, or even farther along the spectrum toward socialism than most other developed countries.

You might consider reading up on forms of government. And maybe not just from American sources. Your understanding of socialism is predictably incomplete.
Calling something "socialism" or "communism" and then having 1 person and 1 party rule, is not actually socialism, it's a monarchy or a dictatorship. "Communist" Russia was very quickly just Imperial Russia all over again, especially once Stalin came to power.
