Maybe not full blown socialist list Cuba or Venezuela, but rather a socialist democracy like Sweden for example. I say that cuz I believe our young people are being indoctrinated with the false dream of equality and justice for all that they've been told socialism will offer, only to discover too late that it doesn't. And too many Americans are totally dissatisfied with the gov't as it is now, that's why we voted Trump into office in the 1st place. Maybe he gets re-elected and maybe not, but the Far Left isn't going away until they finally get in charge and tryout their ideological ideas and policies, which of course will fail miserably. Hopefully at that point the idea will fall from grace and die as a political choice, but I doubt it'll go quietly or stay dead. I think so many people were disgusted by the debate on Tuesday and both candidates, so if the Dems run a more viable socialist candidate in 2024, then that person could have a good shot at winning.
Other countries have already tried it, Sweden did back in the 70s and 80s, and it almost wrecked their economy. They were smart enough to return to free market capitalism, although they did keep some socialist policies, but thy also agreed as a people for everybody to pay those high taxes, even the lowest earners. I hope we can realize that capitalism is a better choice, if we do go socialist for awhile. The problem is that if and when the socialists get into power here, they will make it very difficult to be removed. Ending the filibuster, packing the court, adding DC and Puerto Rico as new states, amnesty to millions of illegals who become democratic voters, and God knows what else will make it hard to turn back from whatever they've done. It may be that we'll have to endure another major depression similar to the 1930s; It took a war to get out of that one, hopefully history won't repeat that. This next time it will have to be the American people who will realize that a gov't run economy and society doesn't work. There's gonna have to be a major paradigm shift away from collectivism back to individualism, at least to some degree.
