The ignorance of Socialism

The Democratic party is rapidly losing its identity as it becomes overrun by socialists. The truth is that socialism has never succeeded anywhere. Challenge any advocate of the ideology to name a country, state, town, or even a single household where socialism has actually worked, and they will be left without an answer. Yet, actual socialists continue to hold positions of power inside the United States. Will this socialist influence be purged from our leadership, or does this mark the beginning of our nation's demise?
