People hate Americaâs big disparities in wealth. Itâs a reason why, among young people, socialism is as popular as capitalism.
The Democratic Socialists of America want a country based on âfreedom, equality and solidarity.â That sure sounds good.
But does socialism bring that?
My new video debunks several myths about socialism.
One reason for socialismâs continued appeal is linguist Noam Chomsky. For generations, his work has taught students that capitalism is âa grotesque catastrophe.â
I assumed the fall of the Soviet Union would put an end to such misinformation. It did â for about a month.
But since then, the lust for socialism has come back strong. Today, Chomsky says that the Soviet Union âwas about as remote from socialism as you could imagine.â
