I feel the narrative around common sense, Democratic Socialism is constantly negative and too many liberals are afraid to associate themselves with the word.
Socialism is not a bad thing. It benefits each and every one of us in one way or another.
Below the fold is 75 ways socialism has improved, shaped, and built America.
Socialism.
There is nothing more feared and hated in America.
The word alone sends shivers down the spine of the American people.
Those three syllables conger up images of Big Brother Government ruling over us all, telling us what to eat, wear, buy, and think. Our children in national uniform being indoctrinated with propaganda in government education camps that use to be schools, turning them into little slaves. While their parents work twelve hour shifts in the concentration camp that slaughters rich successful billionaires, as the poor and needy get a million dollars a month in welfare. A murderous government waging a war against freedom and liberty to gain complete control over everyone and everything.
You know, the way things were under that socialist Bill Clinton. And the way things are now under that socialist Barack Obama.now remember we are still looking for thr trickle down thing, or was Reagan just incontinent?
They imagine the USSR and how Democrats are turning America into it because our government will give money to poor people so they don't starve to death. (Giving money to billion dollar corporations is NOT socialism somehow. You would be a communist and a hippie to think otherwise.)
right wing and republicans have created these buzz words that strike fear and loathing in many because they have heard the republicans year after year claim them as the values of those we fought world wars against and some that tey fought race wars with here, Muslim is a shorten version of the double whammy they dropped on us back in the day killing two birds with one stone, "BLACK MUSLIM" perpetrating the already fear of Black men especially and the race inclusively, Muslim was setting the table for today's angst against them we are being concentrated and prepared for the future they foresee as all theirs.
but as you read the text you'll notice unless your mind is closed the the reality that has been misleading you for your entire life is about to take the weight of hating something you were given misinformation and misled to believe off your mind. relish in the real of socialism American style.
