I wish that the ignorant Trump supporter would stop posting articles on Socialism as being Marxist type socialism it shows how ignorant you really are because this country in no way advocates Marxist socialism.

No country is 100% socialist. Most are a combination of Socialism/Capitalism such as the US Norway Sweden Canada or a combo of Socialism/Communism such as Russia and China.

Norway, Sweden, Denmark US provide healthcare, Education, Pensions, infrastructure, Ect. But these countries also have capitalist where top 10% of each nation’s people hold 65% of the wealth. Except for the US due to the Republican agenda of wealthy tax cuts and low wages, because in the US the top 1% holds 90% of the wealth and it’s growing wider with the Trump tax cuts and no signs of trickle down. And now Trump is giving the wealthy more Tax cuts by changing the tax code in a memorandum and bypassing congress by Indexing the capital gains tax to inflation and adding an additional $98 billion to his already growing deficit.

(MOST SUCCESSFUL COUNTRIES HAVE A COMBINATION OF SOCIALISM/CAPITALISM) but the inability of a Trump supporters to actually understand our constituion that calls for social programs along with capitilist but nobody expects a Trump supporter of having any kind of a brain or recognize common sense. After all they elected a guy that is a capitilist and had gone bankrupt 4 times and is a pathological liar.

So let’s see if a Trump supporter can be educated ??????????????? The US incorporates what’s called democratic socialism under the constituion. The factors of production are managed by a democratically elected government that distributed goods and services, such as Mass Transit, housing,energy, defense,while the free market (Capitilist) are allowed to manufactor and distribute consumer goods.

Now let’s look at for example
Revolutionary Socialism like the whiny little Trump supporter constantly post and has nothing to do with the US system of government. This type of socialism will emerg only after capitalism has been destroyed.

So here is a list of the 8 different types of socialism. For the Trump supporter that just love To Quote Marxist.

Democratic Socialism, Revolutionary Socialism, libertarian Socialism, Market Socialism, Green Socialism, Christian Socialism, Utopia Socialism, Fabian Socialism.

Trump supporters need examples because the socialism they post has nothing to do with Democratic socialism or anyway part of the US government it’s a scare tactic generated by the Republicans to keep there idiotic base in line. We have social programs and capitalism in this country so stop you’re BS. Just look up socialistic programs in this country there are more republican programs than democratic programs.

China is socialism: they manage and control the economy. There corporations and companies are owned and run by the government. No democrat is advocating the government to run our corporations. Just common sense regulation to protect the food we eat the air we breath, the soil we use for planting vegetables.

Finland: socialism is a major part which is directed to education, education is free with no fees the student literacy rate is 100%. Nordic countries take 4 out of the 5 top spots and are well known to be stable safe and socially progressive. There is very little poverty, corruption, and there police and politicians are trusted. That because they feed and educate the poor. Nordic countries maintain socialism advance there population thru social programs while utilizing capitalism to grow there economy.

Our constitution allows for social programs to protect all people while utilizing capitalism to manufactor and distribute goods and services.

The US is a social democracy but we are a free market, capitilist society that has social services and welfare run by the government. We are not what the ignorant Trump supporters like to believe socialism in the Classic Marxist way.

(US DOES NOT OWN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION BUT UNDER THE CONSTITUTION WE CAN REGULATE IT.

The right uses the word in the same context they would use the word communism.

The use by democrats is talking about what are socialist programs as in social security or medicare.

Capitalists worship corporate welfare, you know, the special exemptions and incentives given to certain industries. Conservatives yearn for a totalitarian government, and Religious zealots pray for a State religion. Politicians of all stripes, earnestly hope for an authoritarian government, so they don't have to hide their malfeasance anymore.

If we truly had a Representative Democratic Republic ( which disappeared 160 years ago ), we wouldn't need to do a reboot. BTW, the Democratic party's original name was..............the Democratic Republican party. Ain't that a hoot?

I've heard it said hundreds of time that Obama was a socialist. If Obama was a socialist, then let's have more of socialism.

Our government started going bad under Reagan. Where 38 of his administration officials were found guilty and then pardoned. Love at Bush and his phony war and using lies to get this country into a phony 17 year war at a cost of trillions of $. Look at these phony trickle down tax breaks for the wealthy all phony all lies. Now it’s another tax cut by tying dividend income tax rate to inflation to inflation. This is Trump he is making millions off the office of President he is sucking up to Putin because he wants to build a tower in Moscow.

It’s a damm disgrace the media reports on the things he says versus what he does and it’s fake news.
