    No joke, the first time I actually had socialism explained to me was in my college history class. Before that I had only heard of it in the negative contexts that you hear conservatives use it in. When the professor was done explaining it, I raised my hand and when called on, I said “Wait! That’s socialism? What’s wrong with that?!?”. The professor chuckled and then we spent the rest of the class time discussing socialist theory vs socialist implementation throughout history. He was an outstanding professor, who permanently changed my political outlook.
