Err, no, growing up in an European socialist country I can say this is not true. The left in the US has caught up pretty well ..
- QAPereo 9y agoReally. I’d love some concrete examples to make that case.
- fyrstenberg 9y agoWhy? Don't the US media/schools tell you this? :) (that should be the first red flag btw.) Short-list (from the top of my head): - Public health-care - Big government (checks and balances malfunctioning in the US system) - Central banking - Welfare system - Property tax - High income tax - Minimum wage - Biased courts favoring moms over dads (in regards to their children in divorce cases) - Children early in kindergartens/preschools (a favorite of the old Soviet and the East-block, for early indoctrination) - UN policies implementations (from building codes to local city management). - Social phenomena in the spirit of divide and conquer (labeling in particular - was also a very popular strategy by the left in Europe 30+ years ago). I'm not even touching upon the propaganda being throw around by your government/media/schools, things like "US is a democracy" when in fact it isn't and was never intended to be - it's a constitutional republic, the founding fathers actually warned specifically against democratic form. But hey.. I could go on, but I think this is enough off-topic.
