      You nailed it, Bud. Since so-called Democratic Socialists have forgotten or never learned the lessons of history, and how their ideology is incompatible with freedom, I guess we have to remind or teach them.https://twitter.com/BudKennedy/status/1099806583788371970 …

      Senator Cornyn: You should consider the number of democratic socialists you were jailed and killed for opposing Mussolini and Hitler before you write something so obscene and at odds with history.

          The number of socialists killed by fascist regimes pales in comparison to the tens of millions of their own citizens killed by Maoist China & the USSR. Starvation alone caused 45M deaths under Mao and 3-7M under Stalin. Is that the historical perspective he lacks?

          Were there democracies established under Stalin or Mao? Why might this be important when considering pure communism VS socialism VS democratic socialism?

          Hitler was a national Socialist? Maybe you need to know your history clearer?

          Actually the social democrats, who you are referring to as democratic socialists, helped Hitler come to power by using the far-right Friekorps to crush the German revolutionary socialist and communist movement

          That happened in 1919. Hitler was appointed Chancellor in 1933. I wonder if anything else happened in the intervening 14 years that might have played a role as well.

          Socialism, Fascism and Communism are all anti-capitalist peas in the same pod, all being soul crushing and deadly.
