Reply #29: I think it's time to rehabilitate the word "socialism."

Because when you look at the countries in the world with the best social stats, standard of living, etc., they are socialist countries. Democratic socialists, to be precise. A strictly results-based assessment shows us that Democratic socialism is simply the best form of government in existence.

But we're not even allowed to use the word in America without marginalizing ourselves. Orwell tells us about the power of words, or their suppression.
