Fact: most Americans, much less Californians, don't understand the nuances between communism, socialism, and Marxism. America has been anti-socialism since at least 1919 in the era of the First Red Scare. Heck, Oklahoma was a hotbed of socialism. In most Americans' minds, little green men are trying to corrupt their childrens' precious bodily fluids with fluoride. In effect, anarcho-capitalism/libertarianism is the only politically-correct and acceptable belief system in the vast majority of Americans minds.
