    Good start but then you went astray.

    "White supremacy is a failure." Yep.

    "Socialism" - well, it seems to be working well for folks in Europe: nice health care, economy, social mobility, education. Also medicare, Social Security. Good stuff.

    "Progressivism" See above, also led to a lot of improvements in the US around the turn of the last century - cleaned up a bunch of corruption, added things like ballot initiatives, women voting, and direct election of senators, civil rights laws. etc.

    "Gloabalism" Not sure what that is. But NATO has been a success, UN helped with facilitating some aid, reducing conflicts. Working together better than killing each other. Need a global approach to address climate change.

    All in all, I would rather be living now versus 50, 100, 500, 1,000 years ago.

      Some things work with a free market approach and others don't. You have to go issue by issue and decide how to tackle it, and cannot just make a blanket condemnation of "socialism."
