was their being run out of power by the Nazis- Who, incidentally promised to stop all the "thems" who were contaminating and weakening "our" white culture. Anybody else we know who talks like that?

Your family denies social security checks, avoids public schools, libraries, and hospitals, drives only on toll roads, refuses to use the postal system, have never benefitted from regulation, etc., etc.

It's a vocabulary term referring to the degree to which we choose to cooperatively pay for certain goods and services.

Unfortunately, we are not receiving the potential benefits of Democratic Capitalism since this vocabulary term has been co-opted to refer to trickle-down theory. Over time this economic vocabulary term has resulted in Taxation without Representation since our tax dollars are not being used to support the will of the people (unless you believe $4.8M Benghazi Hearings are a good investment of your hard work).

By contrast, if most of Bernie's policies are favored by most Americans, you would have to conclude that most Americans favor Democratic Socialism over trickle-down theories.

That thinking must be corrected. In other words, when the older generations sees a Socialist, they immediately think the candidate is a Communist. PinkOs is the term TX R-Senator Ted Cruz uses, a term which he uses to describe Ivy League Professors.

of the difference between communism and socialism, and I have read quite a bit of Marxist literature.
The other point is that communists in Cuba and the then USSR refer to themselves and their economic systems as socialist.

I don't agree with Bernie's notion of what constitutes socialism. Scandinavian countries are capitalist: they have capitalist economies with party systems that include social democrats, but then so do many countries in the world. The social democrats sometimes are the ruling party and sometimes not. So what would that mean? When the conservatives hold power the country goes back to being capitalist and then it is against socialist following another election? No. Socialism and capitalism are economic systems. What those Scandinavian nations have is a more robust safety net that assuages the excesses of capitalism, but the economies are still based on profit and the exploitation of labor in which workers are separated from the means of production. Hence they are capitalist.
