Why has 'socialism' become a dirty word ?

@cherokeepatti Marxism is just one of several different variants of socialism. It is definitely not a synonym and the idea that it is is an exclusively American misunderstanding.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Marxist tactics is what they’ve been using so if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it is a duck.

@cherokeepatti However you feel about it. There are so few marxists in the US the Marijuana Party is probably a bigger threat to the big two. The USA carried out one of the most effective political purges in modern history. That is simply a fact. Communists and socialists were effectively crushed in the US nearly a century ago.

So not that simply doesn't apply.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow They haven’t revealed themselves by name yet. They know better or they wouldn’t attempt to infiltrate local governments.

@cherokeepatti That doesn't even make sense. And there is literally no evidence to back that up.

This makes about as much sense as Alex Jones's illuminati silliness.

@cherokeepatti Code makes things complicated usually.
