Let me answer your question with a question: if President David [REDACTED], D-Wherever, were to ride into office with a Democratic supermajority in both houses and pass sweeping liberal reforms that still stayed within a capitalist system (higher wages, universal health care, the WPA, etc., but no worker control of enterprises and a union support level a tad below your own), what effect do you think that would have on marriage?
