About freakin' time, but just yesterday there was an extensive post here equating Communism with Socialism, and quoting (wait for it!) Lenin as their authority! To which I replied, "WTF is wrong with you?", of course.....

We'll see if Bernie wins the nomination, if he does than socialism will have become accepted.

It still works in the deep south and gets used quite frequently in discussions.

The right has just come to power with a vengeance in the US, it is bound to generate a counter reaction, which will make the left seem like salvation for a while. But you have to remember that the right swing was itself a reaction to a growing left wing domination of the political establishment. What you have to hope for, among the pendulum swings of reaction and counter reaction, is that the pendulum will one day settle around a consensus, because if the opposite happens, and the swings get ever wider, that way leads to madness and the end of civilizations.

About time

I hope so.
