... to try and scare voters against voting in "socialist" candidates.

Analogous to this is trying to scare people that all forms of capitalism is equivalent to 1%er fascism too.

Capitalism that is properly regulated, that doesn't allow fascist forces to buy out and control it to work strictly to 1%er interest, is also a decent thing too. But the way fascist forces now are trying to control it has capitalism working against us too.

We need to go back to Occupy's 1% versus 99% meme, which is more descriptive of the struggle we have, so that we can have a decent government that answers to the 99% that works with both socialist and capitalist designs where they work properly in society and are properly regulated to work for all of us rather than the 1%.

1%er Koch family (arguably the fascist leaning forces of then and now) teaming up with 1%er Joseph Stalin communists to build their fortune epitomizes the opposite efforts in both so-called "socialist" and "capitalist" governments that work only for the top 1% are what we should be rewarding, and show that 1%er forces team up, regardless of so-called government labels to control the people they control the government of, to enslave those peoples.

The sooner we recognize the 1%er forces everywhere, and not let them use labels to confuse and divide us, the sooner we'll overcome their power over us!
