Why has 'socialism' become a dirty word ?

@MaryJanine Actually you have it reversed. We oppose candidates because they support socialist policies and anti-capitalism, anti-constitutionalism.

@Lickitysplit Are you talking about Mr. President? I heard those speeches last night and every one of them smacked of those qualities. We have been lied to right and left during the last Presidency. I'm sorry to say, but our current White House leader can't get everything he wants because it occurs to him.
