As Americans we got so fucked by Fox News propaganda, that we have new generations growing up thinking they have to be communists if they want nationalized healthcare and affordable groceries, that it's the same thing.
Right wing people believe it, and now some left wing people believe it, and they're thinking they're socialists just because they don't want to go bankrupt due to a health issue... The rest of the fucking western world is not communist, yet they still have free healthcare and take a month or two off a year.
I have been saying for a long time, there's a lot of people here that hate capitalism and think they're communist because they're just suffering a uniquely American version of capitalism, and we'd be so much fucking better off with literally just nationalized healthcare. We just don't want to be terrified all the time, and feel like we're seconds away from death and poverty. This is uniquely an American capitalism and it's usually not this fucking bad.
