Why are various Left-leaning people into socialism and why are some possibly even Communist-leaning?

Socialism. An antonym for COMMUNIST.

Synonomous with Progressive / Liberal / Radical Left / Democrat


You can call a pile of dung a rose, but it'll still smell like a pile of dung.

Thanks for agreeing that communism and socialism are two distinct, different, political theories.....as in opposites.

We're headed into the 4th industrial revolution and past the tipping point. The jobs Trump promised to keep here are not coming back. Automation is taking over jobs every day. Trump bragging about an ALL TIME HIGH stock market and begging the FED for negative interest rates and QE inside of a week is a tell of desperation. If anyone knows bankruptcy this man does. If anyone knows how to create a diversion this man does. Things may prolong for a quarter or two but Humpty is gonna fall.


The path isn't left or right it's forward. We need a progressive capitalism is expiring. If Andrew Yang gets his due camera time in tomorrows debates he'll be climbing in the polls.

I have no idea what you're referring to unless you don't like people going to the polls and vote higher taxes upon themselves.

Ponder this ...

I wouldn't worry about the government I would worry about standing before God and explaining why your life is so important to kill your own child!
Your parent or parents decided to raise you what makes you think you are privileged or deserving of life while denying life to your own flesh and blood?
