Let's try again - any Democrats advocating the abolition of the rich? Not just limiting or reshaping, but eliminating them as a social evil?

Abolition? As in killing them? Of course not, but then the Marxists didn't necessarily want to kill them either, although that happened. Level them off by transferring their money to the poor, sure, so that they aren't so rich and the poor aren't so poor. Egalitarian, like E said.

Because it really is PoliSci 101

That tone doesn't work on me.

American Democratic policies are quite different.

Sure, they're different. But we're in broad stroke territory here, finding the essential difference between left and right. The question is whether or not they're in the same family, not whether they're identical twins. They're at least second cousins. They're a whole lot more alike than either of them is to "self-determination" or "Judeo-Christian traditionalism." No family resemblance there at all.

Thanks for the input. It's been useful.
