    The only correct thing in this is where the title says things are dumber this time around. Boy oh boy is it ever. You label pretty much everything you don't like as Socialism and then you call it communism. It's hilarious how uninformed many Americans are to other countries. Here's the biggest difference between the two. In communism, you often can't just go about or leave as you'd like. Rules can be kind of stifling like you live in a birdcage. It's kind of like being owned by the country. With what is considered Socialism, you can leave the country and even carry duel citizenship. Rules are as free as here if not more. The biggest difference between socialism and capitalism is people come first with Socialism. You don't get to cast someone aside because they had a bum rap or couldn't make it on their own. People aren't left out to dry because they got sick and couldn't fend for themselves.

    It's you that doesn't understand. What you call Socialism is actually Social Democracy, that you can't comprehend the difference speak volumes about you. True Socialism has no private property or companies, everything is run by the State. One of the first acts by Tony Blair as New Labour PM was to abolish Clause IV which reads:

    To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service.

    I live next door and across the street from them. They run an auto shop out of a private house.
    They don't pay attention to the HOA covenant

    Clinton lost. That is why the Dems will unite behind the candidate and bury Trump by 20mm votes. Eat that.

    Dukkha, it does not matter, because Trump is going down in NY, NJ, and FL.
