Who gives a shit?

Fact is, capitalism...especially capitalism as practiced in the United States...would be significantly improved by incorporating LOTS of socialistic ideas into its being.

Okay, okay...I understand that the morons of the right think socialism in all respects is "bad." But many of the assholes of the right also think Trump was "good."

The American right sucks.

Here's hoping we finally lose our fear of socialism.
