17. I wish someone would ask the republican idiots who use "Socialism" and "Communism" to try to trash their opponents

to explain what these are, because none of them can really explain it, and its very simple.

"Socialism" is nothing but rhetoric used by "Communists" to lure the masses to vote for them, once in power they become "Communists", and "Communism" is nothing but a dictatorship with a different name.

Anyone name a "Socialist" country please...There are ZERO.

Also, one could easily call trump a communist, his actions are exactly the same. If one looks at a country like Venezuela, where a supposed "Socialism of the 21st Century" took hold...Its a regime, it is a dictatorship, no freedom of speech, the middle class has been converted into a poor class, those within the regime, the military brass have become billionaires by robbing the country of everything, the infrastructure has collapsed, people who speak against the regime are taken prisoners, tortured and most of the time killed, there is zero equality, which is what the "Socialist" philosophy sells.

I bet not one of those republicans can speak clearly, define clearly what socialism and communism are.

What a bunch of jerks republicans are.
