Your views are simplistic and historically incorrect. Socialism exists in most if not all countries including the US. A public highway is socialism. Regardless of income, anyone can use them. Public schools are socialism, so are public parks and libraries. To suggest that "socialism" results in the deaths of millions is absurd. I'd remind you the US killed over 600,000 of its own people in a Civil War. Do we blame capitalism or democracy for that barbarism? We enslaved an entire race and neither wiped another from the face of the earth. Facts can't harm us but ignorance of them can lead to other atrocities such as going to war in Iraq and causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people because one man in the WH decided he needed a war with someone to cover up the fact that he failed to defend the homeland on 9/11. None of these facts harm anyone. Your lies about socialism create the illusion that it's okay to murder anyone in countries that govern themselves in ways that are far more decent and moral than anything the US has been able to achieve. Countries like Norway, Denmark, and Switzerland have very high taxation and they also lead the world in almost every category. They don't need to lie about socialism, capitalism or anything else. Why do you?
