I'm sure many people found it as encouraging as I did, especially in light of surveys indicating that socialism is gaining popularity here in the United States.
One recent Gallup poll showed four out of 10 Americans have a favorable impression of socialism.
If you know anything about socialism, these results are completely contradictory.
If they understood what socialism is - "a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state," to use Merriam-Webster's definition - they would realize it's the antithesis of free enterprise.
Many Americans who say they favor socialism clearly are hearing "Socialism" and thinking of it instead as a way to fix whatever societal woes are bothering them.
Yet nothing is based more on greed than socialism.
"Socialism, on the other hand, focuses you inward. You're focused on what you can get."
