(Yes, communist. "Socialism" is just the word used to trigger totalitarian visions of someone showing up to take your TV or something — idk, I'm not a boomer and don't have any cold war trauma so it doesn't really work the same way for me.)

Reacting because of fear means you're already lost. There has been plenty of socialism in this country already. Medicare, the Interstate road system, Trump paying farmers now. There should be no fear of helping your fellow hard working americans do what they need to do to compete
