    Just a word of advice to conservatives: you might want to develop rebuttals to Democratic Socialism that don't rely on hackneyed Venezuela comparisons, because that'll get real old, real quick

        Given that no democratic socialist country has ever existed, the only examples we have are the failed states that tried it. Is it our fault that they don't have a long shelf life?

        “Scandinavia” meme has been debunked. See Ben Shapiro’s commentary destroying that one.

        No it doesn’t. Watching a free market country implode in less than two decades under the Socialist fiasco is exactly what everybody needs in the front of their minds.

        1) Socialism is government rule over the means of production and individual freedom. Basically Corporations run by the most ruthless people become government. It is happening as we speak. Unfortunately. People who run the government corporations and decide for us

        Are merely human. Humanity at its worst is ruthless. Pick a tyrant in history and that will be running the place. I am not as versed in the classics as someone like Camille Paglia or Jordan Peterson or James Madison for that matter, but lucky for me I did go to School decades

        The arguments against big government, extreme high taxation and expensive welfare state are numerous. Socialists see government as the answer to every problem. It is not.

        While I'll grant you that (thankfully) many American "progressives" prefer the Scandinavian model to Venezuela's, I also recall Hugo Chavez being widely celebrated throughout "progressive" circles.

        How about a long treatise on the immutability of human nature and that the removal of self interest as a motivating factor for work will reduce labor supplied and lead to a lower or declining growth rate that will eventually make everyone worse off? You know, like in Venezuela.

        How about since socialism in any form requires you forcibly coerce me to give up my right to property, then at that point government will have become destructive of the ends for which it was established, which is to protect my rights, I have the right to alter or abolish it
