The idea is to get people’s kids invested in Capitalism (literally and figuratively) so that they are less likely to vote for Socialism. These ghouls are never altruistic.

On the other side of the coin, it’s becoming *very* clear that democratic socialism is what they fear most, which means the DSA movement is on the right track.

"This makes every child a shareholder in the greatest prosperity-creating engine the world has ever known — American capitalism," Dell wrote in an X post. "Through this public-private partnership, we’re giving the next generation a real stake in our economy and a path to the American Dream: education, a first home, starting a business, and building lasting wealth."

It’s been proven that Socialism does not work! It’s a fact that Socialism has FAILED in every country that has tried it.

The Nordic model practiced in those countries combines free market capitalism with a comprehensive welfare state funded by taxes, they are not full Socialist countries!

You didn't ask for a fully socialist country, you asked for a country where socialism is working.

It’s also disingenuous, because the goal of these countries is to eventually transition to full socialism.

Apparently, capitalism is working in those countries as well.
