Spain, France & Germany all run socialist candidates for president. In the United States are scocialists don't even call themselves socialists. They call themselves liberals. Now that liberal has become unpopular they want to be called progressives. In the United States republican candidates fight over who is the most conservsative candidate. They all want that title. Democrats NEVER fight over the title of most LIBERAL. It would be the kiss of death come election time. Why is Socialism so popular in Europe and so unpopular in the United States?
My Favorite
Liberal/Progressive/Socialist;
"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler
(Speech of May 1, 1927.)
