If Democrats keep doubling down and dividing eventually they will be gone.

Police, Fire, Public Transportation, Roads & Highways. Prisons/Jails, Public Hospitals, Universities, Parks, Fountains, etc. all predate Socialist Ideaology by 1000s of years.

Socialism is Government Control over a plurality or more of the means of production. Providing a stipend for orphans != Socialism in and of itself, or in combination with roads or prisons or any thing else.

You do realize that even the most ardent libertarians support the idea of government providing for the safety of its citizens and their property, don’t you? In fact I think libertarians believe that’s the only true role of government.

Your meme would actually be more correctly addressed to anarchists.

Ok, here yeee.. as a fellow public school teacher, the government needs to stay the hell out of the energy sector. Your well being depends on it. Marcus, do you not sit around with your coworkers and complain of all the nonsense and incompetence that occurs in the school system above your head? Because all of my fellow teachers sure do. I favor public education and yes it can be improved. Is private better? Not in New Jersey. But yes it is in places like Florida.

There's also a clear difference between funding the government and public projects and a centrally planned socialist so called green economy.
