12. If it suits Republicans to say so, they'll call it that. |
|
It the assistance is to a Republican-leaning area, especially a wealthy one, you won't hear much.

14. First of all, if it did, so what? Socialism isn't a bad thing. |
|
Secondly, no. Socialism is more than just government services, while those are very good, they aren't socialism. Socialism is a new economic order opposed and in contrast with capitalism. Here is a definition: "A political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole." Until we have that we don't have socialism, despite how much we need it or how much the crazies on the Right insist we do.

16. Not unless it involves nationalization of the means of production |
|
I mean, if they built new factories and gave them to the people who would be working there, yes. But I don't see that coming.
