"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires." #QotD


Today's Quote of the Day comes from a book by Ronald Wright, summarising author John Steinbeck's whinging that America was still not, yet, a socialist paradise:
"Socialism never took root in America because the poor [there] see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

The ironic thing is it's philosophically crippled publicly shamed millionaires now who are virtue signalling the world into socialism.
