Talked with a German cousin last night about how every citizen there gets full healthcare and free education through college or tech school. It’s just their normal. She said “ I don’t understand why people in America say ‘socialism’ like it’s an insult.”

In US taking an AR into Walmart or a barber shop is called freedom. In Europe it's called insanity. Different mindset.

Because usually the quality of socialized medicine is horrible and rationed.

Because it's offensive to those of us who still believe in the sovereignty of the individual and the evil of forced collectivism

Socialism is an insult and had destroyed other countries. If you want that so bad. Move. Move to a place that has what want. Venezuela is beautiful. Healthcare sucks. But your ok with that since everyone gets it for free. Right.

More than an insult. It’s a fear. A fear that’s been spread like a disease throughout this country for over a 100 years. A mass indoctrination of the socialism boogeyman. Sad…
