Socialism/communism is the Right's word for any government programs that help all the people
Such as Social Security, Medicare, education, public transit. The ignorant Trump-loving dolts throwing around accusations of communism wouldn't know a real communist from a dead flounder.
The billionaire-corporate class want to strip America of all beneficial public programs. They want American working people to be reduced to poverty so they will be forced to take any job, no matter how low paying or how bad the working conditions.

I find it odd that the party calling any helping of the people socialism is also the party that thinks Christianity requires no helping of the less fortunate.
@SW-User I think that’s a misconception. I’ve read about major televangelists like Jerry Falwell, guys that I couldn’t imagine agreeing with on anything, preaching about Jesus calling on Christians to help the needy; furthermore, I was raised in a fairly conservative Baptist church in the middle of Missouri, and we all believed in lending a hand to the less fortunate. From what I’ve seen Christian Republicans believe in helping the poor, the distinction is, and I disagree with them on this, they generally don’t believe the government should do it.

@JPWhoo Those you mentioned aren't government officials. Once we get into the party itself we see phonies bent on lining the pockets of the rich by stripping the poor even further.
