As explained in my three-part series (here, here, and here), socialism is a poisonous ideology. With poisonous results.
It is morally corrupt, elevating government over the individual and the family.
And it is economically nonsensical since it punishes success and subsidizes sloth.
But not every leftist is a socialist (and you can argue that not every socialist is a leftist).
So how should we classify Joe Biden?
