This question is usually evaded because we don't want to admit the reality.

What's to evade? In truth, the Democrats should change their name to Socialist (Communist after they confiscate the guns) or the "People's Party", or the "Labor Party", complete with hammer and sickle, and the Repubs should at least change their name to Democrat, if not worse. Except for a very few individuals such as Bahr (sp?), Kyle, and a few others, it should be obvious, the sleeping giant hasn't awakened. Will it ever, before it's too late?

I think evasion is the right term, because the parties don't use the names you cited, even when they really are more descriptive of their platforms. But we just don't want to say the word socialist, even when we adopt socialist policies.
