    Well, historically socialist governments have killed a lot of people. So I understand why there is concern. One can be concerned about rising fascism, the ravages of capitalism, and also authoritarian socialist movements.

    That said, I am more concerned with whether an individual policy is good and helps people than whether ideologues categorize it as socialist, capitalist, or otherwise. In the current political context, I find myself agreeing with socialists often, even if I don’t necessarily support their vision of the ideal government.
