If capitalism is evil and socialism is the answer, why are the caravans coming here instead of Venezuela? (Iran, extremist)

China and Venezuela are what the USA would be like if people like Bernie Sanders were in charge. But democratic republicanism is the superior political system and capitalism is the superior economic system, so our country is the most prosperous in the history of the world and Venezuela is failing. Hopefully the guy who wants to take over Venezuela will lead them to becoming a free country.

There's plenty of basis in reality, especially for younger people who aren't hearing enough centrist Democrat voices. That's why a communist -- Ocasio-Cortez -- won over a moderate Democrat in New York. We have to stop that.
Just because we don't want a fascist should NOT mean that we instead want a communist. Both are extremists, and neither is good for the country or for the freedom of Americans.
Fascism -- right wing extremism -- says "practice the religion I want you to, or you die." Examples are Saudi Arabia, Iran and people like Mike Pence.
Communism -- left wing extremism -- says "practice ANY religion, and you die". Examples are China and Venezuela.
I don't think either of those is a good model to replace the current pluralistic, democratic republic that is the United States of America.
No moreso than the right’s love-affair with making blind, sweeping, assertions with no basis in reality.
No basis in reality?
Exactly what part of my question has no basis in reality?
America is a capitalist country.....yes?
Venezuela is a socialist country.... right?
And there are thousands of people walking thousands of miles to get to America instead of Venezuela..... correct?
Are you saying that the Left doesn't demonize capitalism and promote socialism?
Really?
