Alan: Scare tactics concerning "socialism" are part of the time-tested "noise machine" strategy that makes the rich richer and (nearly) everyone else poorer.
If, as frequently alleged, modern Europe is a result of socialist governance, let's applaud that continent's resounding success.
If, however, modern Europe is a result of a capitalist system with a progressive tax schedule that enables implementation of "socialized benefits" -- benefits that make societies happier and healthier -- then let's learn from those European nation states and promote economic structures based on capitalism complete with progressive tax policies to finance programs that satisfy human needs relating to health, housing, education, nutrition and recreation.

Although I am a native-born U.S. citizen, I took my first degree at the University of Toronto and know from experience that Canadian and American societies are as different from one another as "civilization" and "barbarism."
To use a parallel image that might make sense to Christian conservatives, note that many components of Canadian and American culture are as far removed from one another as Pope Francis' Christianity is removed from Trump-touting "Christian" "conservatism."
Here's how this difference "plays out."

Alan: If you still don't see the difference between compassionate, service-oriented Christianity (under aegis of "The Common, Communitarian Good") and Pascal's observation that "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction," you are enthralled by the kind of "conservative" "Christianity" rooted in a society hellbent on Rugged Individualism.
