Socialism is the politics of codependence. It stems from an intrapersonally unhealthy place, fosters poor mental health generally, and being rooted in psychopathology, is unable to recognize its own economic inefficiency and abusiveness, which is to say that as a general rule, it promotes the opposite of what it claims to value. Socialist policies promote poverty, inequality, injustice, and the absolute opposite of democracy.
I’ve said all this, of course, but perhaps not quite in this way.
