All the talent and initiative and energy and idealism invested in America's many " small business " enterprises will not be stifled by " democratic socialism ".

 The point is to establish rational control over the economy as a whole -for the good of the human race. It has nothing to do with " envy " of the successful or neurotic hatred for the wealthy.

On a higher moral plane democratic socialism must question and challenge the moral legitimacy of " legitimate" wealth.

On a higher moral plane democratic socialism must " deconstruct " the American military industrial complex. For this there is no need for even a hint of " violence " - just the mobilization of mass WORKING CLASS support.

I do understand that in Rhode Island small business often gets treated brutally- by parasite state officialdom.By the way, that is NOT " socialism ".
