I SEE all the shades of gray. But when the time comes to make choices
and take action I don't keep dithering back-and-forth like Hamlet about
what to do. Socialism is bad. But I can cooperate with socialists if I
need them to help fight a greater, more immediate threat.
I'm a pragmatist and a US nationalist. And proud of it.
Little boutique socialist countries that are tiny specks in a great
ocean of thriving free enterprise capitalism can thrive and prosper as
long as they use clever business practices when dealing with the
capitalist world. Sweden is highyly socialized but Saab and Volvo are
healthy capitalistic enterprises in their business practices.
(Europeans have had the use of a lot of their revenue for social
programs for a long time. That's because their defense budgets have been
small. US taxpayers have provided much of Europe's military defense for
the last several decades.)
If the whole world went socialist the world economy would become very
stagnant and poor.
