Ray of hope

Fri, 04/10/2009 - 1:17am — Mandos

In one of these freakonomical perverse results, apparently right-wing memes about socialism have been overused and are hence rebounding against them. Via Yglesias:

Only 53% of American adults believe capitalism is better than socialism. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 20% disagree and say socialism is better. Twenty-seven percent (27%) are not sure which is better. Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism, and 30% are undecided.

HAHAHAHAHA. Essentially, since Sweden is a desirable state of being, and since Sweden is socialism, it must mean that socialism (oops, fixed) is a desirable state of being. Perhaps there is hope after all. Hope in right-wing overreach, at least.
