      So, socialism doesn’t exist according to your definition since nowhere on this planet workers control shit.

      Ask former Soviet workers, Chinese workers, Cuban workers, North Korean workers and Vietnamese workers how much control on production they have.

        Sure thing Cap’n - first thing in the morning I’ll be going around knocking on doors to try to find Soviet, Chinese and Cuban workers to ask them about their opinions.

        Grow up, but read a book or two first.

        I’ve been to China. I’ve been to Cuba. Have you?

          Thanks, so the nearest thing to socialism is what Trump is doing, being elected by workers, trying to intervene into businesses using the government power to make them adopt his own views even if detrimental to the businesses themselves. Protectionism isn’t a right wing policy, it’s a left wing policy. Usually, the right wing is favorable to free markets and free trade and low level of government involvement into businesses.

          Frankly, the Republicans should be horrified by these policies and the direction this administration is heading to.
