This is political satire. Apparently some individuals aren't intelligent enough to understand that. The arguments in this book though are as logical as the title states. Again because I have to explicitly state this; it is gibberish. But this makes a great gift for someone that may not understand this delicate point. So without further ado. The cover is summed up.The Cold War officially ended 25 years ago. So, why does Democratic Socialism Keep rearing its ugly head into the U.S. political landscape? Democratic Socialism sounds like a scary concept. Something dredged up from the Scandinavian countries, or worse yet, the former U.S.S.R. where the government has veto power over your children's names, takes 90% of your paycheck, and encourages the masses to seek social handouts instead of employment. But, what is Democratic Socialism? Most Americans may not truly understand what the term Democratic Socialism means. Should Americans really fear Democratic Socialism? How and why does it differ from Communism or even simply Socialism? And, even more relevant, is Democratic Socialism in America Inevitable? As it turns out, America already has quite a few socialist programs that you interact with on a daily basis without even realizing it. What are these socialist programs, how is America already partly a Democratic Socialist state, and why are these socialist values and programs held so dearly in the eyes of most Americans? In WHY DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM WORKS all these questions are answered. And WHY DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM WORKS goes further to explain how Democratic Socialism is not just socially responsible, but fiscally as well. Through a thought provoking look at America today and throughout its history, WHY DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM WORKS explores how Democratic Socialism is not just the best plan for the future, it has been the best part of America's past.
