I believe we'd best use a more accurate & vivid label instead of "socialism." It is Marxism pure & simple. The window dressing from the MSM's rubber dictionary may try to mealy-mouthed soft-sell it--but the truth is--it is raw, virulent, seditious, treasonous Marxism from the foundation up & the bone marrow out. Scratch the surface & the usual Marxist rabid hostilities & hyper-ventilating floods out.

I see your point; but, they self-identify as socialist-democrat, and I think it is important to state that socialism is evil, in that it is not a real economic system but a malignant parasite that ultimately depends 100% on confiscation and slave labor, since it removes the natural incentives for capital formation and for effortful work.

Of course you are totally correct that socialism is a more "Socially acceptable" word for Marxism. This should be pointed out as well.

THe USSR was a communist entity named Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. They knew that Socialist meant Communist. Nazi - National Socialism.

Socialism more supposedly acceptable term currently than communism, same meaning. And I wish people would stop lying about the meaning on National Socialism as though it was “right wing”. The whole “left/right” dichotomy should be thrown into the trash anyway.

Agree about educating that “socialism” is evil, period. Thanks.

Socializm is communizm without the necessary political power to jam the whole enchilada down your throat.
