The author expresses concern about the potential rise of socialism in the U.S., drawing lessons from the failures of "hard" socialism in totalitarian regimes that strip citizens of rights and lead to widespread poverty. He argues that the disastrous consequences stem from state ownership and control of industries. In contrast, he advocates for a "soft" variant of socialism, exemplified by Scandinavian models, which focuses on income redistribution without state ownership of production, allowing for freedom and a functional economy.
