Yeah, it's unfortunate that the word "socialism" has completely lost it's meaning in the US. I don't think Americans truly comprehend how radical Socialism actually is. To compare increasing the minimum wage with Socialism is beyond absurd. Terms like "welfare state" are also loaded with negative connotations.
- ryandrake 8y agoConcepts like "socialism" and "unions" have sustained a relentless smear campaign orchestrated by the right for decades. The propaganda is so bad that it's probably worse to be labeled a socialist than to be labeled a pedophile in the USA.
