Hey, stupid anchor bimbo...
Socialism IS ALREADY HERE.
It appears not to have arrived NOT because of “racism” (you stupid, one-response reactionary) but because the socialists keep changing the term so that we are “never there” if we are anywhere short of a full Stalinist state.
Go to this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Chase
Scroll down and read the “wish list” of political and economic changes that Stuart Chase (die-hard communist/socialist) wanted for America, which he referred to as Free Enterprise into “X.” These were the “socialist” changes he saw under Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin.
Does that list look at all familiar you primped-and-preened mindless teleprompt reader?
Free Enterprise into ‘X’
On pages 95 and 96 of The Road We Are Traveling, under the heading of “Free Enterprise into ‘X’”, Chase listed 18 characteristics of political economy that he had observed among Russia, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain between 1913 and 1942. Chase labeled this phenomenon “... something called ‘X’”. Characteristics include the following:
1. A strong, centralized government.
2. An executive arm growing at the expense of the legislative and judicial arms.
3. The control of banking, credit and security exchanges by the government.
4. The underwriting of employment by the government, either through armaments or public works.
5. The underwriting of social security by the government – old-age pensions, mothers’ pensions, unemployment insurance, and the like.
6. The underwriting of food, housing, and medical care, by the government.
7. The use of deficit spending to finance these underwritings.
8. The abandonment of gold in favor of managed currencies.
9. The control of foreign trade by the government.
10. The control of natural resources.
11. The control of energy sources.
12. The control of transportation.
