Of course it has nothing to do with Socialism being an epic failure everywhere it’s been implemented.

It’s more than a 100 years people have asked, “Why is there no socialism in America?” That was Venhar Sombart in 1905. But anyway, but one other reason is the, uh, ethnic and racial diversity, which means that all too often when people see, see people suffering they don’t say, “There but for the grace of God go I,” they say, “Oh well that’s just one of them.” . . . Because it was actually true, wages in America were not that much better than they were in Europe, certainly in Britain. Um, and really, we have a great politics department at Princeton, I taught them, really, really the thing was that in the United States then the big issue was immigrants, a lot of the working class was not perceived as American and more recently, and I guess always, it’s race. It’s not that our workers do so well that they’re not socialist, it’s that they, it’s the fact that we have a divided working class.
