They don't understand that it's been partially incorporated in most of the world in varying degrees for a very long time. You all have mixed economies.

Lot of people only think in binary. Bad, good..It's easier to appeal to them by demonizing any form of change in a way that associate it to prior failures or evils. They need to feel protected even if the threat is an illusion.

@Miram Yes! I'm a capitalist. Some things are good better run by the government and some aren't. I believe that the choice should be pragmatic in nature not ideological.
