Wanting social programs and a safety net is branded as communism by a lot of the supposed left. Socialism can exist in a capitalist system.

I agree. However many, like the above comment, show how folks like to lump the extreme right, and the center right together.

I never made any comment on policy. I said oc is proving my point. When I say progressive extremists are just as unwilling to compromise with the center, and they respond by lumping everyone in as fascist christians.
