so the 2 party congress that has yet to get a single payer system, that has supported aggressive foreign policy, that has granted bailouts and deregulated the market and run neoliberal policies for decades is socialist?
now that is funny.
I don't think I have ever expressed when I learned about the Bolsheviks. However, within the last year I did read about the just ways they all died. Maybe you need to learn about them and Mao since you have stated how what Mao did was beneficial to his population.

Americans agree on how to fix Social Security
By Ross Eisenbrey
Reports that exaggerate the problem of looming deficits have left many Americans worried that Social Security will not be there when they retire. A survey conducted jointly by the Rockefeller Foundation and the National Academy of Social Insurance found that 90% of Americans are concerned about the program’s ability to pay benefits for the next generation. Because these same people believe strongly that workers should have financial security in their retirement, most want Social Security’s finances strengthened. Regardless of their party affiliation, 85% or more of survey respondents said it is important to keep Social Security financially solvent.
The most striking finding in the survey is that most Americans are willing to pay higher payroll taxes to preserve the Social Security program. When asked to respond to the statement: "It is critical that we preserve Social Security for future generations, even if it means increasing working Americans’ contributions to Social Security," 77% of those surveyed said they agreed (see Figure). When presented with a specific way to strengthen Social Security, an even larger portion showed support. Of those surveyed, 83% said they supported lifting the Social Security tax cap of $106,800, so that high-income earners would pay the tax on all of their salary in the same way that lower-wage earners do. Because the projected shortfall in social security is much smaller and more manageable than is often presented, eliminating the cap on taxable earnings would bring in sufficient funds to close the projected Social Security shortfall over the next 75 years, solving the entire problem.
that sounds about right
did you go to a public school?
"Socialism refers to the various theories of economic organization advocating public or direct worker ownership and administration of the means of production and allocation of resources, and a society characterized by equal access to resources for all individuals with a method of compensation based on the amount of labor expended.[1][2][3]
Most socialists share the view that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through exploitation, creates an unequal society, does not provide equal opportunities for everyone to maximise their potential[4] Capitalism does not utilise technology and resources to their maximum potential nor in the interests of the public."
