I have heard so many variants of this as explanations of why 'socialism' doesn't work (all from Americans). It's as though they are taught it this way.
@MarkHoltom They have been brainwashed through cults to see the world in such a fashion. Nationalist cults that hijacked different sects for state programming of congregations - it's how they got people to hold two conflicting beliefs at once and act upon them in their confusion. Fueled the war machine for ages - a level to pull when they wish.
Still being pulled and pulled and pulled, especially in rural parts of red states 😓
