In America are clueless about socialism types and communism. tRump is nationalist he just forgets to say the socialist. Bernie is really a social democrat but people here don't know what that is. I find that after Reagan there are democrats and republicans lite. It is funny to hear so called democrats back pedal when socialism is mentioned when they should be expounding social security, public schools, fire departments, police departments, veteran hospitals, roads and bridges, unemployment insurance, drinking water, military, medicare, fema, g.i. Bill, national parks, bank deposit insurance, hazardous waste cleanup. FDR's 2nd bill of rights every American has the right to:
1 A job
2 An adequate wage and decent living
3 A decent home
4 Medical Care
5 Economic protection during sickness, accident, old age or unemployment
6 A good education
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Undecided

There are a LOT of questions. One being, what does he do once he learns about it. Answer: nothing.
