Now, the way I see it, today's advocates for socialism in America share a lot in common with Stalin and also Hitler although they'd never admit it. Stalin's brutal suppression of free expression and persecution of owners of wealth is well documented and you can see some of that happening here today. But also, Hiter's scapegoating of the Jews as the root cause of all of Europe's problems is in full effect in America today except this time it's white males who get the blame. One does not have to look far to find lefty mainstream media and democrat politicians fear mongering and advocating the systematic oppression of evil ****** as retribution for all the harm he has done.
DEANRD,
Can you see how they try and deflect by saying others are like Hitler...
The fact is US has had and will continue to have a lot of socialist programs... The Military, Fire Dept, Police, Education, Roads.... are all socialist programs... To reject socialism is to also reject them and what they do...
Scandinavia, for example, is made up of capitalist economies, with some socialist programs.
The capitalism pays for the welfare part, you dunce.
Myth#1 Socialism work spectacularly in Nordic countries. The problem here is the equating socialist redistribution programs, with socialist economies. The Scandinavian nations are not socialist economies; Denmark has a freer economy than does the USA. Higher tax rates to support the redistributionist part, but far less business regulation than America.
“Speaking at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, Danish PM Lars Løkke Rasmussen told students that he had “absolutely no wish to interfere the presidential debate in the US” but nonetheless attempted to set the record straight about his country.
"I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy,” Rasmussen said.
“The Nordic model is an expanded welfare state which provides a high level of security for its citizens, but it is also a successful market economy with much freedom to pursue your dreams and live your life as you wish,” he added.
The PM’s comments come after US presidential hopefuls Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton used part of the first Democratic debate to
discuss how the United States could emulate Scandinavia.”

The same is true in the USofA
