This is a good post. It goes back to the USA's communist McCarthy fears of the 50s and jerks like Ronald Reagan calling universal healthcare socialism. socialism in america means communism (in that era). Now we know it's a different kind of political and economic system (tax wise). Still americans are just brainwashed.
I went to an education conference one time where a former education secretary said "we're not set up to teach you reading writing and arithmetic. they're important yes, but our number one goal is make you a patriot".
So we see universal medicine as some kind of socialist thing because of the republican mantras and see our overlords the police, our protectors the firemen, and our mail as "government". when in fact they're socialist type programs.
our government out and out sucks and is more concerned with the military industrial complex, keeping the rich rich, and our foreign policy is Isreal is our lord and screw the rest.
really bad imo.
