I personally think it's stupid, misguided, and doomed to failure but if I were ever in a position of power, I wouldn't let that influence my decisions.  I'd try to be like Kissinger and Nixon, who even though they disliked Communism, were willing to make deals with Chinese Communists for the benefit of their country.  Or like Churchill, who despised Communism, but was willing to collaborate with Stalin to defeat Hitler.

Socialism and communism are not the same thing. The UK's NHS is an example of a successful socialist concept and is far from stupid.

True, they are different, but what I said expresses my views on both of them for the most part.
