The democrat party has been trying to sell socialism since the civil war. Socialism is communisms bastard half brother, both fail everytime the are tried. Both have killed millions of people.
Socialism is the journey to (ie progression towards)
communism.
Theoretically. In reality it never gets there because the inner party rulers will never give up power and let everyone become true equals, and because pure communism is impossible to achieve.
The rats would rather preside and grow wealthy over an America in decline than be bystanders in a thriving and prosperous republic.
