    You have no idea what you're talking about again chris. Your source article is BS as well. There is no socialism at work in this country and I defy you to show where the Democrats have made socialism any type of platform. You and your article paint with a broad brush, but in all your intellect neither of you van show anything of the sort from the main body of liberals.

    You make all those claims but offer nothing to back it up, no facts, no explanation, no argument. What a waste.

From the socialists on the far left, like Sanders and AOC, to the progressive leaders, like Pelosi and Schumer and Biden, to the moderates, like Manchin and Sinema, all seek more or less the same new socialist redistribution.

    If your aim is merely to embarrass, then you're behaving like a no-count troll.
    Socialists cannot redistribute what they already own... So already your argument is in the dumper. Now in the far left there ARE socialist wannabes and they have their camps; but they have zero power or effect in this country, nor does News Max, One America News or Fox News doesn't support them (I'll let you think on that one)... Moreover, I have not seen ANY progressives that are for a socialist America.

    So you're going to have to go out and get the evidence that supports your thesis dude, otherwise you're just pissin into the wind.

    So you think socialists already own my income and investment gains and etc. How did they come to own the fruits of my labor?

    Or is it that you just don't comprehend what I posted?

    There is socialism in every government. That statement is made out of ignorance.
    There are no government that meet the pure theorists definitions. All governments are blends of many different theories and it is just a matter of which dominate. Capitalism is everywhere. Collectivism is everywhere.

    So, you cannot defend your absolutist statements in a world where it does not exist.

    But I can promise you that none of it is for the good of the masses. It is for the elitists. Communism did not make anyone but the elites rich in Russia or China. They had to introduce Capitalism for that to expand. The more they expanded capitalism, the greater the number of wealthy people were generated. Then when the elitists got scared they cracked down.

    Communism/Socialism just makes everyone poor but the elites.

    Public assistance is socialism. Public assistance is taking my money and giving it to someone else. There's your history, boy.

    Free college.

    Free daycare.

    Free pre-school.

    Social Security.

    Medicare.

    Medicaid.

    These define socialism.
