While talking to people it is very clear to me that far to many do not really understand the difference between communism, socialism or capitalism. They have been conditioned to believe capitalism is good and the other two are dangerous and would lead to the downfall of this country

They also fail to understand that the majority of Well to do Western countries are in fact some form of socialist country. Those that do get that are still inclined to think the people in those countries suffer from poor health care, have no government representation, barely living wages and so many other problems they don’t want to see in this country

Trying to explain how and why they are wrong generally garners negative and even hostile remarks. It’s that old “ you can lead a horse to water but can’t make him drink syndrome “
