A liberal's "defense" of socialism (David Pakman response)

David Pakman is a liberal who claims that Marxism-Leninism is a failure and has nothing in common with socialism, while utopian socialism, anarchism and "democratic socialism" are fantastic successes. As his evidence he says "Orwell said so". However, Pakman is not a supporter of any kind of socialism, he merely advocates for those things to steer people away from Marxism.

Up to You.

^3000US citizens have no real political representation.

We don't live in a democracy. And our freedom is disappearing fast.

I don't want to be ruled by hypocrites, whores, and war criminals.

What about you? Time to push back against the corporate oligarchy.

And its multitude of minions and lackeys.
