Socialism and Communism are not the same thing.

Here in this country we are democratic republic (people vote and their vote maybe sort of kinda counts - if only it weren't for the electoral college) and we have plenty of socialism here - all of the tax breaks given to corporations who do nothing but take take take and take some more (always saying their the job creators while they move everything offshore, including all of their profits), all of the big money doled out to corporate farmers, the trillions of dollars spent on the military industrial complex that is never held to any accounting and is so bloated and out of control police nationwide have been militarized with all of the "extras" while military families live on food stamps in uninhabitable housing, the billions doled out in taxpayer dollars to employees of corporations who use that money to pad their profits instead of paying their employees living wages, all of the taxpayer money spent to save wall street when GWB nearly decimated the entire country economically, and the list goes on and on and on and on. The tiny amount of so-called socialism doled out to the people of this country (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Etc.) is so paltry it doesn't even rate when compared to all of the aforementioned.

We are a socialist state for the obscenely wealthy. Everyone else must suffer under capitalism so that the obscenely wealthy can get wealthier and wealthier. I mean why on earth does anyone need hundreds of billions of dollars? Jeff Bezos could end world hunger, homelessness, and cover medical care for all 100X over and STILL BE A FUCKING BILLIONAIRE. But he wants to hold his penis and fly into space and feel like a big boy.

Our system is corrupt beyond all comprehension. Countries ruled under communist dictators are corrupt beyond all comprehension. The countries in this world that are closest to true socialism - as in socialism for all and for the greater good of everyone who lives there - are the only countries that are even remotely not corrupt beyond all comprehension.
