While I agree the the words have been co-opted in American politics to mean something other than what they're supposed to, that doesn't take away from the dismal track record they have at succes6sful running a country.

We don't need classical socialism in America as a replacement for capitalism we need something else entirely.

A program run by the government that offers assistance or relief to people isn't socialism.
