It has nothing to do with the Soviets. Yeah, they lost the Cold War, but the strange irony is that the economic philosophy they advocated is slowly, but surely starting to creep up on America. And it's not just the Democrats, it's some of these Republicans, too. It's part of the reason I've become so disillusioned with American politics and I don't even bother to vote anymore.

And?
Exactly what is the problem with socialist values sneaking in? Before you start pointing fingers at the catastrophic fall of the USSR, bear in mind that their ideas about communism were pretty heavily tainted by the functional dictatorship they were running at the same time. Sharing of economic resources tends to be at cross-purposes with consolidating all power into the hands of a few, and all that, not to mention the toll their forced industrialization and Stalin's purges took on the nation.
It's all good and well to toss around socialism like a scary word as though it were an understood fact, but those of us not in the choir need a little more explanation.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
