The Leftists called Liberals stand for something quite different:
the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.
The thirst for power, by any means necessary at the ballot box, is apparently their intoxicating elixir, eclipsing all ideological logic and reason... lolSpeaking of workers paradises...Venezuela's Inflation hits 43,378%
Yay Democrats let’s elect more Puerto Rican socialists!
A minimum-wage worker in Venezuela could afford 5 cups of coffee each month — and nothing else
How many times must Democrats/Liberals/Progressives/Socialists be shown the failure of their doctrines.....the misery, slaughter, and oppression that results.....
....before they catch-on????
Ever????
Because it helps with yer mental illness.Why should I have to explain this to you?and what makes them socialist or communist?8 years ago they were afraid to admit they were socialists....is spelled s-o-c-i-a-l-i-s-t.
And that's not American.
1. Those of us who have studied history have been saying it all along.
Socialists are, colloquially and correctly called Liberals...or, Modern Liberals if you prefer.
Communist John Dewey persuaded the Socialist Party to steal the name Liberal, and their control of the media has cemented the term for them....much as they now call their homes 'Blue States' when communists, socialists, anarchists have always been represented as 'Red.'
Classical Liberals, called conservatives today, and the Founders, stood for
individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.

2. "Socialism had the lowest percentage positive rating and the highest negative rating of any term tested. Still, more than a third of Americans say they have a positive image of socialism.
Exactly how Americans define "socialism" or what exactly they think of when they hear the word is not known. The research simply measures Americans' reactions when a survey interviewer reads the word to them -- an exercise that helps shed light on connotations associated with this frequently used term.
There are significant differences in reactions to "socialism" across ideological and partisan groups:
· A majority of 53% of Democrats have a positive image of socialism, compared to 17% of Republicans.
· Sixty-one percent of liberals say their image of socialism is positive, compared to 39% of moderates and 20% of conservatives."

Today, those who subscribe to the principles of the American Revolution — individual liberty, limited government, the free market, and the rule of law — call themselves by a variety of terms, including conservative, libertarian, classical liberal, and liberal. We see problems with all of those terms. "Conservative" smacks of an unwillingness to change, of a desire to preserve the status quo. Only in America do people seem to refer to free-market capitalism — the most progressive, dynamic, and ever-changing system the world has ever known — as conservative. Additionally, many contemporary American conservatives favor state intervention in some areas, most notably in trade and into our private lives.
"Classical liberal" is a bit closer to the mark, but the word "classical" fails to capture the contemporary vibrancy of the ideas of freedom.
"Liberal" may well be the perfect word in most of the world — the liberals in societies from China to Iran to South Africa to Argentina tend to be supporters of human rights and free markets — but its meaning has clearly been altered in the contemporary United States.
The Jeffersonian philosophy that animates Cato's work has increasingly come to be called "libertarianism" or "market liberalism." It combines an appreciation for entrepreneurship, the market process, and lower taxes with strict respect for civil liberties and skepticism about the benefits of both the welfare state and foreign military adventurism.
This vision brings the wisdom of the American Founders to bear on the problems of today. As did the Founders, it looks to the future with optimism and excitement, eager to discover what great things women and men will do in the coming century. Market liberals appreciate the complexity of a great society, recognizing that socialism and government planning are just too clumsy for the modern world. It is — or used to be — the conventional wisdom that a more complex society needs more government, but the truth is just the opposite. The simpler the society, the less damage government planning does. Planning is cumbersome in an agricultural society, costly in an industrial economy, and impossible in the information age. Today collectivism and planning are outmoded and backward, a drag on social progress.
Libertarians have a cosmopolitan, inclusive vision for society. We applaud the progressive extension of the promises of the Declaration of Independence to more people, especially to women, African-Americans, religious minorities, and gay and lesbian people. Our greatest challenge today is to continue to extend the promise of political freedom and economic opportunity to those who are still denied it, in our own country and around the world.

We have a little Fabian socialism but zero levels of socialism on the govt. ownership of the means of production like Mexico...Are we going to have an actual definition of the term from which we all work, or is this just another simplistic partisan circle jerk?
We already have elements of what could be called "socialism". Most people understand this stuff exists on a continuum.
Get specific and serious. Or not. Whatever.

Our greatest challenge today is to continue to extend the promise of political freedom and economic opportunity to those who are still denied it, in our own country and around the world.

Let's cut to the chase: do you vote Democrat, and, if so, are you ready to admit that you're a socialist?
So your trying to say that 65 million voters are socialist?
Sooo....you don't care to answer the question?
I believe you've inadvertently answered the question.
Glad you're embarrassed.
Never said I would answer a second one. My inference stands.
I'm perfectly copacetic with leaving the obvious conclusion of your refusal to answer.
Sooo....why are you back?
Mental illness??Because it helps with yer mental illness.Why should I have to explain this to you?and what makes them socialist or communist?8 years ago they were afraid to admit they were socialists....is spelled s-o-c-i-a-l-i-s-t.
And that's not American.
1. Those of us who have studied history have been saying it all along.
Socialists are, colloquially and correctly called Liberals...or, Modern Liberals if you prefer.
Communist John Dewey persuaded the Socialist Party to steal the name Liberal, and their control of the media has cemented the term for them....much as they now call their homes 'Blue States' when communists, socialists, anarchists have always been represented as 'Red.'
Classical Liberals, called conservatives today, and the Founders, stood for
individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
The Leftists called Liberals stand for something quite different:
the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.
2. "Socialism had the lowest percentage positive rating and the highest negative rating of any term tested. Still, more than a third of Americans say they have a positive image of socialism.
Exactly how Americans define "socialism" or what exactly they think of when they hear the word is not known. The research simply measures Americans' reactions when a survey interviewer reads the word to them -- an exercise that helps shed light on connotations associated with this frequently used term.
There are significant differences in reactions to "socialism" across ideological and partisan groups:
· A majority of 53% of Democrats have a positive image of socialism, compared to 17% of Republicans.
· Sixty-one percent of liberals say their image of socialism is positive, compared to 39% of moderates and 20% of conservatives."
Socialism Viewed Positively by 36% of Americans
3. "Democrats see major upset as socialist beats top-ranking US congressman
Joe Crowley, 10-term Democrat expected to be party’s next House leader, loses to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 28, in New York
- Ocasio-Cortez: who is the new progressive star of the Democrats?" Democrats see major upset as socialist beats top-ranking US congressman
4. And lots of Democrats voted for full-bore Communist, Bernie Sanders.
This is who you are if you vote Democrat.
You're certainly not American.
Eventually they'll have the courage to admit they are communists.
