Socialism and Communism are all about control, conformity, uniformity, and the stifling of innovation. Socialism seeks to suppress independence, rational intelligence and individualism. When you suppress these things, you do not get the “warmth of collectivism;” you get stagnation, starvation and despair.
But hey — at least you’ll get “affordability.” And that’s all that matters.
