    Social Security is socialism. Medicare is socialism. Frickin' fire departments are socialism. My argument is we need more socialism.

If you ever write or speak about this in public, I'd like to see it: I want to know how well it goes. Not saying it's a bad solution: saying the crowd is tough on that front.

Wasn't that one of Bernie Sanders' contention points — that he's a socialist? Because socialism equals communism, obviously, and communism is bad: bad enough that would rather wind up dead than red, isn't that so?
