Yes, all statists are socialists. The Social Contract is a mental delusion that should be treated with therapy and/or drugs.

Well, if we add the 41% of democrats who said they would consider it to the 19% of republicans who said they would consider it, we get 60%. Which would be a landslide victory for the socialist.

Not quite.
“Among all voters, 26% would vote for a self identified socialist presidential candidate; 50% would not, while 24% are undecided.”

OK that's true, I forgot the unaffiliated.

Still, the focus of the thread is the % of republicans who say they would consider voting for a self-proclaimed socialist. For a party that spends who knows much time telling everyone the evils of socialism, 19% is a lot. I would have thought it would be more like 5%.

In addition, 69% of all likely US voters rate a free market economic system is better than socialism. Just 12% think socialism is a better economic system, but 18% or undecided.”

Team Red are closet Marxists/socialists. It's what makes them even more evil than Team Blue...in a certain way.

At least Blue admits to being socialists. You have to respect someone for telling you to your face that they will rape, rob, and kill you...in a weird way.

Team Red? They spout off individuality, capitalism, and liberty all day long then turn around and support Big Daddy Tariff Trump as he drone strikes babies in Yemen, regulates the hell out of the economy, pumps $61 billion in to the Dept. of Ed., steals land from private citizens at the border, and passes two major gun restriction laws.

I am a Republican and I would vote for a light socialist if it was North Dakota, Wyoming, Vermont or lived in a very small country.

I understand it's a bit hypocritical but I don't mind big socialist giveaways to farmers in middle America or politicians in the senate bringing the bacon back to small rural states with socialist style programs.

There is a moral cancer though in big states and the federal government should save money and short change them and not reward those states for all the moral decay they are trying to spread.

Honestly, I wouldn't a "Medicare for All" in North Dakota, Nebraska, Vermont or a small state. But nationally it would never work because in large states there are tens of millions of Americans just sitting around drinking, drugging and having babies.

Socialism is feasible in certain environment. United States has far to many corrupt interests that we can't have socialism nationwide like Norway, Finland, Denmark.

United States overall is a very corrupt country because of the US House and this country needs to move far to the right overall.

In a big country or state, socialism never works. Nationwide, socialism would be a disaster in America. Socialism doesn't work in a state like New York or California where there is a huge amount of people who don't want to participate in adding value to the economy except drinking, taking hard drugs, have baby after baby.

Look Ma, one of the Team Red socialists came out of the closet!

Good for you.
