    It’s rare to see someone going “this you”

    That’s because you are rarely gifted in the “can’t-see-the-bloody-obvious” department.

    Like why oh why would you ignore my question about what qualifies as “taking root”?

    Again… this you?

    Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

    Who brought this piss-poor excuse of quote to a discussion about history? Me or you?

    You want your quote to (somehow) not be fallacious? You describe what the term “take root” means - and do so in a way that (somehow) disqualifies the vast and well-documented history of socialist movements in US history.

    so why don’t you specify your argument.

    I’m not the one with the shit-take, Clyde - you are.
