Socialism has failed multiple times in history and is contradictory to the capitalism and freedom that America has been built upon. Why would we elect a president who holds socialist idealogies?

Viva la Vida asked:


I’m reading Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book, and it seems to me that for all the effort he puts into explaining his philosophy of peace, cooperation, tolerance, understanding, and self-criticism, he himself was a dictator who ruled on the principles of war, religious persecution, and single-mindedness. A similar observation: If Nicolae Ceausescu was a Communist, then why did he spend so many billions of tax dollars on building himself a palace? What is up with dictators like Mugabe, Mao, Ceausescu, and Pol Pot who are suppposed to be Communists, but still insist on hoarding all their country’s wealth and brutally oppressing opposition?
