Has anyone on this board advocated for a completely socialist country or have they been advocating for a combination of capitalism and socialism? Perhaps the answer doesn't lie in the extremes, but maybe there is a way that the richest country on earth can do a better job of taking care of it citizens.

Look at their military run away like that. After seeing that, I’d think it might embolden the starving citizenry.

Already blaming Colombia and the "right-wing". We should watch this closely, look at Putin, crumbling dictators often focus national attention towards a foreign "enemy" when their home countries are collapsing.
