The subtle encroachment and establishment of communist socialism in the U.S., European socialism is a bit different. I have no use for the progressive left or the Democratic Party. Anybody that is convinced they know better than I do , what is best for me, is treading on my rights to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and is the enemy. To be blunt, we are seeing the first battles of a Civil War, it is just that the opposing sides haven't started arming themselves for full fledged combat, yet.
