    The word “socialism” turns people off because oligarchs spent a lot of money conditioning people against that word.

    But socialist policies are overwhelmingly popular regardless of party affiliation.

    Billionaire media just desperately doesn’t want America to know socialism is what virtually every other country already does

      Yup, same thing as hating ObamaCare but wanting everything in the ACA. People hate the label but want what it represents and are too stupid to understand they are talking about the same thing.

    No, it’s not. Boomers don’t like it. The majority of everyone else is at least open to it. People don’t remain committed to a system that causes them to suffer.
