I found Mrs. Johnson on social media. She is retired after a 34-year career at my high school. She remembers using that lesson, but not her descriptions of the "ism"s. As I recall, they were described in terms of intentions, perhaps something like "The government ensures that all citizens have access to basic needs of living, such as food and housing." That is a beautiful promise. The problem with choosing the political system which makes the best promises is obvious. Promises help politicians; it's the actual results that help or hurt ordinary people. I believe the actual results of the socialistic approach is generally harmful for ordinary people. The free market has bad effects too, but they seem to me more along the lines of "not solving every problem" rather than "possibly mitigating some problems by creating bigger ones." It is also disturbing to see a celebrated critic of free enterprise reveal a decidedly anti-poor, anti-woman position.

Tell her that the co-founder of Hubski is personally inviting her to join our discussions on politics. I want to find out how she warped you in to the Libertarian you are.
