You accuse others off demagoguery but continue to throw around a term like "Marxist" without knowing what it means. Have you studied Marx? Read any of his actual literature? Or Mao? Having a social welfare state from taxes isn't communism in any definition of the word. The United States has a comparatively weak social safety net compared to a lot of the industrialized world and what you consider far left would be looked at as center right in a lot of the world. Bill Clinton was right of Richard Nixon on a good amount of policy. We had work to welfare, the explosion of the prison population. He was even going to propose his own privatization of social security before people found out a fat little piggy was sucking his dick under his desk and stuffing cigars up her turd cutter. If you want to have a serious conversation about these topics you should really stop using that word.
