I can never get behind the fundamentalist view of socialism or the extreme application of any system really. I feel there is a nice middle ground where democratic socialism applies only to the state and not to private interests. I also tend to move on when someone compares a political system with an economic one such as socialism vs capitalism as if the two are somehow mutually exclusive.
As someone who came of age before Glasnost, I’m gonna call bullshit on this one. Sorry Mike.
