I have gone through this before. Socialism attempts to prmote Marx's theories in the bounds of democracy, which is to ultimately impossible. It is obsessed with inequalities, and seeks to "remedy" them by punishing society's achievers through taxation and loss of liberty. Socialists win elections by encouraging resentment of the wealthy, blaming America, exploiting Western guilt, and castigating opponents as mean-spirited bigots too stupid to understand their compassionate brilliance.

Remember this when you hear a prominent member of the Democratic party say, "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good," Hillary Clinton in a San Francisco speech. Or "The truth is, in order to get things like Universal Health Care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more," Michelle Obama.
