The link is so deliciously left wing. “Socialism only the name” really.....that’s your counter? Like I said right or left there are 2 constants: Talk up socialist policies to get elected. And suppress the individual for the greater benefit of the state. 

While I appreciate you calling Democrat’s modern fascists, they tend to identify on the left. Speech suppression, economic pressure (job loss if speak out), authorizing violence and destruction of property against groups of people. Not bigots but average conservatives. Left wing fascism is just as dangerous, which is also pro-socialism.

So yes, in name only. They attracted socialists with their socialist branding, but killed them of in the night of the long knives in 1934 after they served their purpose of winning the election with their misleading name.

Otherwise, why not give the statue of liberty to North Korea? I mean, can't be more free than a People's Democratic Republic, right? Dictators have always sought to find names that resonate with the people, most of the time without adhering to their meaning even in the slightest.

Also again, what socialist would take big money from big corporations who want them to remove worker protection rights? That's exactly what the big German Industrials like the Krupp and Porsche families were doing, and Hitler and the entire NSDAP happily agreed. No socialist would ever do that.

I’d say that plays into my stance. Bait and switch. Get elected via Socialism and then transition into fascism.

It always leads to complete government oversight. Suppression of the individual and prioritizing the prosperity of the state. Which is never good on both counts. 

I'm going to dress up as a socialist tomorrow.

I have no stake in this matter. But I’m curious. For those against socialism, what are your feelings on programs such as social security, Medicare/Medicaid, and other programs that were supposedly driven from concepts of socialism? If you don’t like those programs, what are your potential solutions to meeting the needs that these programs are meeting?

So, the modus operandi of the Republicans? Trying to take away voting rights and healthcare from the poorer people to get the stock market to boom and to finance an overbloated military.

Canada has a great system. Semi high taxes for free medical and other government benefits. Can’t say I approve of all programs but most help people in a good way. But economy is pure capitalism. 

I think the points I mentioned about what Dems are doing is a little more impactful then having a hard time trying to vote. I never got this, just vote in person. I’m not American but I’m aware there is early voting and what not. If you can’t vote via mail do it in person. There will always be healthcare for working class citizens in one form or another. 

Because putting the gouvernement in charge of everything might not always be such a good idea. It works wonders for China though.

The thing is, you normally vote via mail because you can't vote in person for one reason or another. So removing the possibility to vote by mail is equal to not being able to vote at all for lots of people.

Also, care to explain why you think what the democrats are doing is more impactful and what exactly that is?
