“Great socialist experiment”?…. Er, Patrick, I don’t know what country you’re living in, but I’ve never seen much socialism here except on the margins. The Clintons (very rich people) are hardly socialistic, nor are their (even richer) Hollywood friends. Hypocrites? Now that’s another matter. But socialists? Ever visit a real socialist country, my friend? Thinking of the USA or one of its major parties as even remotely socialist is silly.
