Because of things I have done on behalf of justice to the workingman, I have often been called a Socialist. Usually I have not taken the trouble even to notice the epithet. … Moreover, I know that many American Socialists are high-minded and honorable citizens, who in reality are merely radical social reformers. They are opposed to the brutalities and industrial injustices which we see everywhere about us.

NO! Socialism BAD! I don’t know what it is, but I know it’s bad. Sorry, getting tired of people who slept through government class trying to talk about how this country is going to become some kind of Stalinist state with redistribution of wealth and higher taxes and… what? I’m trying not to engage with people like that. There is no hope.
