On the reevaluation of 'socialism' and the role of government in our lives... the 30/40 year neoliberal experiment has revealed to huge numbers of people that certain key aspects of our lives, healthcare and education key among them, ought not be beholden to the market. Markets might be fantastic for distributing commodities, but have failed in a vast array of other areas.
It's not a matter of people being stupid mice not knowing where cheese comes from, people are a lot smarter than that. The Democrats might just make themselves a viable force again in the 21st century by borrowing some of that New Deal/Scandinavian socialism.
