Serious question, why are so many people convinced there's a strong communist sentiment in the US?

@lightningblue People think socialism and communism are the same thing lol

@BlueMetalChick most countries in the western world is socialist, canada england, all europe etc

@lightningblue That's what I try to tell people but they apparently think that things are better here in the USA where we pay absurd amounts of money for college and 45,000 people a year die because they haven't got access to healthcare.

@BlueMetalChick there was studies that it actually cost less to have global free healthcare than everyone having insurance

@lightningblue That's a no brainer. Private health insurance companies cost a shitload of money.

@BlueMetalChick usa is a capitalist country, the country would be richer with a true public health insurance, you can invest 20% more of that by gouvernment and its still cheaper

@lightningblue The USA is a corporatist country, the primary interests of the elected officials are corporate interests and the money that comes from it.

@BlueMetalChick usa is a great country, but things need to be changed
you can hate trump but he's trying to, at least he's trying in his own way
well at least its different

@lightningblue No, no he's not, he's continuing to do exactly what's been done for so long.

@BlueMetalChick I mean he's trying different things than the last 2-3 presidents
but not changing the system

@lightningblue Not really, no. Still deregulating business, still outsourcing American jobs, still cutting taxes for the rich and raising it on the poor, still waging illegal offensive wars in the Middle East, still drone striking other countries. All the same shit. The only thing different is he's repealing net neutrality and going back to coal and oil instead of clean energy.

@BlueMetalChick yeah thats one thing I'm disappointed for trump, its war
he wanted to be closer to russia and fuck the world just focus on usa
