If we're going to be called communists anyway, we may as well get the benefits of being communists. That's just good old fashion neoliberal pragmatism.

I really think progressives/socialists would do better around here if they engaged it from the logical "effective spending" side rather than JUST the moral/inequality side. Good spending is something everyone can get behind, and stuff like socialized medicine and tuition-free public colleges are just a good investment that tons of other countries have already figured out.
