Dec 3 at 7:57 comment added Barmar @aslum There's almost certainly a "socialism == communism == bad" assumption involved for many people. And Republicans are happy to perpetuate this.
Dec 2 at 20:01 comment added aslum @Barmar Fair enough - though part of the problem is probably how many people just have a knee jerk "socialism is bad" reaction without knowing what it actually means.
Nov 27 at 21:43 comment added Barmar @aslum There's some "chicken vs. egg" there. We're stuck in it because many people think it's normal, e.g. having to pay for health care. Free health care is considered "socialism", but few say the same thing about free K-12 education.
