Nobody is brainwashed into socialism. We're born socialist but get indoctrinated into capitalism. Ask a grade-schooler if we should house the homeless, feed the hungry, and care for the sick.
Re-learning socialist theory is us just de-radicalizing ourselves from the propaganda of capitalism.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

After screaming “hoax” for months, now they’re gonna redact stuff, classify stuff, lose stuff, and maybe even change stuff. They’ll pin it on a chosen few and throw a few of their own under the bus to make it seem legit. It’s the screaming of their own under the bus wheels that will destroy the GOP.
