U.S.S.R = Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
"The goal of socialism is communism."
-Vladimir Lenin
"...Socialism with Chinese Characteristics"
-Communist party of China
Socialism/communism may be distinguishable on paper, or in internet chat forums, but they are remarkably indistinguishable when you have the boot of authoritative centralized government pinning your head to the dirt floor.
In my opinion Bernie and AOC are disingenuous. In my opinion they are starry eyed authoritarians masquerading as people of high moral conscience. But even if you choose to believe that Bernie and AOC mean well, from their deep caring hearts for the masses of unfortunates, they are demonstrably ignorant of the harsh lessons that their ideologies have taught to millions of unfortunates around the world. For their bad ideas alone they ought to be ostracized from American politics.
I will never vote to give these types of people any authority over myself or my country.
