Wait, Politico's making an actual argument that people have actually made...?
Believe it or not, there are even Britons who clearly articulate the full extent of the costs of Britain's love affair with socialism. Unfortunately, denial is a powerful force. Certain lies have been indoctrinated into generations of British people since primary school. Some eventually grow to accept that the lies were lies whereas most cling to denialism.
Humor me: what is so bad about socialized programs? We're not trying to reestablish the Politburo buddy, when we advocate for certain functions like, I dunno,
basic health care to be publicly funded.
