You remain blind. Or ignorant. Or simply don't tell the truth out loud. "Socialism" no longer technically means "owning the means of production" for actually owning them is no longer necessary to achieve the desired result. Plus, given the fact that the current office-holders have Marxist philosophical backgrounds, it's important to see the word "socialism" as they do -- the transitional stage to the Marxist ideal.
America's government is now
clearly to the left of most of Europe's socialist governments. Folks, if you're not seeing it already, it is going to
blow your mind how many companies and jobs are going to exit the United States in the next three years. The resulting situation will leave virtually all dependent on the gubmint for either their income or services and a gubmint in need of inflating its currency (destroying any US-currency-based wealth you may have) to deal with its own size. It will be portrayed as Asia, Australasia, and The Pacific as having "won" or "beat us," but it will have been done intentionally.
This is no longer the country or world we all grew up in. This is the pivotal time of all our lives. The "change" that's in the planning or execution stages is going to leave...well, people telling past-tense stories of freedom and liberty to their kids and grandkids, who, themselves, will have trouble imagining how people earned or bought without going through the gubmint.
There's an English-speaking country whose news I follow....its leaders and academics have already begun "hypothetical" discussions on how to deal with what they estimate will be at least seven figures-worth of what they're
already calling "refugees." Their initial areas of focus -- water supply, housing, and what will likely be an explosion in real estate values because most will be coming with some money. Next area of focus -- what that number of successful freedom-lovers will mean to their current left-leaning political structure.
Eh....enough.

O, that it were so simple!
Partially as a joke, I mentioned
They Live....it's an interesting analog, though, because, once those guys could see, there was no option but to do
something. The movie presented only three choices, but our world features one or two more now with an additional one added later 15-20 years down the road. I'm not sure which of those I will choose but am afraid certain situations will eliminate the one I really want. Very unfortunate.
