Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States of a non-Socialist
America.
He was a Republican President, and he ended slavery.
The US was never a socialist country.
Except for the military…and police…and fire depts. in most places.
Dont forget roads.
Yes, the roads. How else are the socialist police going to get to there socialist police stations.

Oh have to understand that most conservatives define “socialism” differently than moderates and liberals. Here, let me help you out.
Liberal/Moderate: Socialism is that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Conservative: Socialism is any govt spending or program except ones that I agree with.

About the only 2 countries that are truly free of socialism are Somalia and the Sudan.
I understand that, you needed to see who I was responding to to understand my statement.

Is Ocasio a socialist because she wants to raise top marginal rates to 70% on $10 million+ ?
The US has incorporated elements of socialism since it’s inception. We’re currently a mixed economy, incorporating elements of capitalism and socialism.
More conservative camp fire scare stories.
Especially considering its never ever worked like that.
It’s nice and cozy by the fire.
Ganna roast me smore Dem Marshmallows.
What countries has full fledged Socialism and not just bits and pieces of Socialism
worked for again?
Ok, so your point is that adopting certain socialist programs will not lead a country to full blown socialism. I agree. So let’s stop with the slippery slope socialism cries and evaluate each program in its own merit.
Socialized medicine seems to be working for most countries.

The Democrat Politicians want America to be a full fledged Socialist country.
That is why there are those of us that are fighting against it.
Because Socialism has never worked before in its entirety.
So why would it work for America?
