And the idea of being a democratic socialist in the US is so leftwing in
comparison to the "American Left" it is utterly indistinguishable from the
'dread beast of communism' to even your liberal American elements. Ugh,
American sucks. Liberal here means 'less racist and sexist than the
opposition - on a good day, that is" and very little more. Claims of the
Right that they are 'anti-Big Government' are simply lies, as both the
American 'Right' and 'Left' advocate big government as much as they can.
They are practically indistinguishable on most issues save social ones.
