we democrats lose our soul by becoming republicans.

i cringe when newsome tweets an all caps trumpagram. but it is necessary.

in the old propaganda, communist economics was barely ,mentioned in passing (the babushkas lined up for cabbages and such).

the stuff that horrified real americans about communism was the secret police, gulags, and inhumanity = NOT public ownership pf the means of production.
