I dont get it. Why is this word so bad, and whats bad about a socialistic democracy? We, here in germany, have a huge Party (Socialist Democratic Party) which is forming our goverment along with another party.
And you realy cant compare us to the UDSSR (yes, i have read some youtube comments and people are realy scared of this), nor to the former GDR. We can still vote, we can travel outside our country, we have a free speech etc.
I am just curious and want to understand.
Thanks

It's the Right Wing .. aka "Republicans" whom really have no clue about what Democratic socialism means. The GOP scares them into thinking it's like communism. Mix that with the just out right selfishness of many right wingers whom think because they got their's well fuck anyone else. Ironically enough these are the very one's whom claim to be Christians. (so much for the Bible and the idea of if you have two fish give one to someone whom has none)
What they fail to realise is our entire public school system is based on socialism. While it might not be the best school system in this day and age but that's mainly because it's under funded not because the system doesn't work.
