I am actually quite afraid of the spread of "socialism" [View all]

Decades ago, "socialism" was being told you like the USSR.

Years ago, "socialism" was thinking everyone should have healthcare.

Today, "socialism" is apparently not wanting to be shot in school or valuing the environment and people who would be harmed by climate change over profit margins.

What will it be tomorrow?

Will "socialism" be not wanting to throw virgins into volcanoes to appease the Blessed Job Creators and so the Dow can rally for the day?
