        What a stupid column. Nobody advocating for the types of social democracy already enjoyed in much of Europe and Asia wants a system like the USSR or Venezuela. Equating advocacy for a public safety net to the Soviet Union is as disingenuous as it gets.

        The Soviet Union was NOT a Socialist State. It WAS a Stalinist COMMUNIST State. Jesus Christ WAS a Socialist. Stalin was NOT. True Socialism has NOTHING in common with Communism just as TRUE Conservatism has NOTHING in common with Rampant Unrestrained Capitalism.

        The USSR wasn't socialist. Socialism works. Look at Scandinavia. No, it's not a perfect system and doesn't solve every problem on it's own, but neither does our capitalist system. People that show love for socialism are looking for a better way than our current one.

        Wow this is ignorant. Social democratic policies are practiced successfully in many countries the world over and have been for decades. Publicly owned health systems (such as NHS in Britain), social housing and nationalised rail and utilities to name but a few.

        Does the author realize socialism and capitalism are different? Do they realize that a democracy and dictatorship are different?

        Russia is a shithole country! Talk to people from Norway and Sweden about socialism. They’re annually rated the happiest people in the world.

        Socialism goes against human nature and is doomed to failure every time. Capitalism, while not perfect, is better in tune with human nature and provides people a much better chance to get ahead in life.

        Then why are the happiest and longest living countries generally socialist?

        If you lived in a socialist country, such as Sweden, you will live longer and healthier in a medical system that costs less than half of what the US system costs. I am socialist, WHAT OF IT?

        And there is nothing cool about trump, his administration, GOP, nor his "socialism" prone friends(putin) or women.

        You’re confusing socialism with Stalin’s communism.
