There are definitely people advocating for actual communism. Social programs in a democracy are worlds away from communism. We have universal healthcare in Europe without communism.

No I really don't think there are. If there are then it's incredibly, incredibly, minisculy few, but the gop and Fox have to portray that it's the entire democratic party.

That's the whole point of what I'm saying. Social programs are worlds away, but the gop and Fox have to conflate everything to call it communism in order to have a bogeyman.

We have universal healthcare in Europe without communism.

Again, that's the whole point of what I'm saying. Social programs like universal healthcare? The Gop and Fox call it communism to scare people. I know it's not, you know it's not, but the gop and Fox scream loudly enough that it's communism that they scare enough people to get their votes.
