Most Americans are more "socialist" than they realize.

How many want to do away with Social Security, unemployment comp, the 8 hour day, labor's right to organize, & all those other things the Repubs used to denounce as Communistic back in the day?

The corpmedia has fostered the twisting of the term liberal, as well as an almost complete erasure of American history in terms of labor struggles, civil rights, & the like.

Even most progs don't discuss social class, for example - in the US even the left is cautious & conservative & the working classes are never mentioned. There was much more serious resistance to the Iraq war in Europe than there was in the US!
