Kevin Duffy on how socialists should lead by example

Q: How would a socialist convince a hard core capitalist to espouse their views? 

A: Talk is cheap.  Lead by example. 

Your goal is to eradicate private property.  Your means are govermental force.  That scares people who think they will lose everything they’ve worked their lives for with very little in return. 

Instead, try showing them how this can work voluntarily and on a small scale.  Once you’ve achieved that, you should have no problem convincing others to join your experiment.  As my mother likes to say, “you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.”
