David Sirota demands specificity from the critics of socialism since the only socialism offered in America consists of popular government programs that people depend on. This is the right ask: “Tell us specifically what you have a problem with.” Because the specter of “evil communism “ is just a bullshit scare tactic meant to prevent medicare for all from happening, to lower taxes on billionaires, and to rollback regulations while bailing out banksters and technofascists with public resources....
