I voted for the candidate that won't uncategorically rule out genocide in order to give everybody a pony! (there being only about 200,000 ponies in the USA, something is going to have to give).
Marxism is what you are calling Communism. Most socialists ARE marxists, which goes far beyond your definition.
As a practical matter Marxism and Socialism are the same thing. Marxism has authoritarianism built right in, their only escape is 'eventual ideal communism', which never happens and can never happen. Power will always corrupt Marxism. You can't give government that much power and expect it not to be a monster.
Hippies were commies in the 1960s. Antifa are commies now. In both cases the numbers are/were smaller than the attention they get implies.
They get over it about the time their bodies can't continue to take the regular doses of very hard drugs. The world is a harsh teacher, even morons learn.
A college degree still doesn't cost $200,000. Unless you want a private campus with club med amenities.
If a kid spent $200,000 on a worthless degree and a 5 year party, I have NO sympathy. They _should_ struggle the rest of their lives to pay it off. Fuck those morons.
But don't pretend they are average. Most kids graduate with less than $50k debt, which is manageable, even working the kind of jobs worthless degrees get them.
Define socialism, because no, it's not, unless you are accept the redneck definition, which is just 'anything I don't like' (just like the hippie definition of fascism).
Being more precise in language: Marxism, with it's ban on private ownership of means of production isn't active anywhere in Europe. Europe is full of capitalist welfare states.
Marxism is irretrievably broken. It had the 20th century to work. Killed more people than religion has, and religion had eons longer to do it.
Now the you've gotten 'no true scotsman' out ot the way, can you fucking drop it now?
BTW It was _Marxism_ that caused the Ukrainian famines. Totalitarianism is built right into Marxism. Marxists don't believe that, but they are morons.
We can talk about mixed mode economies with their 'socialism', but anything remotely Marxist is right out. If you want to ban private ownership of the means of production, fuckoff!

Progressives haven't stopped eugenics. Look at the racial breakdown of abortions.
Black christians call abortion a black genocide, and they are right.
Alt comes from usenet.
By traditional definitions, anybody conservate and not R is alt-right.
Today it's used by the left to demonize anybody to the right of Sanders.

Redefine the term until it loses meaning.

90% of the big companies most people associate with CA are Delaware corps anyhow.
If they pass this law, it will just become 100%
In CA you will be ticketed for obstructing traffic if you're driving _above_ the speed limit but have four or more cars backed up behind you.
Unless your a cyclist. Because cops would never do anything else if they ticketed cyclists for obstructing traffic.
Name one leftist government that didn't have _all_ those features?
The USSR, Red China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Venezuela, Cuba, eastern European reds, Nazi Germany all did/do.

So any conservative, not a republican is Alt-right...which screws up the leftist language wars...after all the effort to demonize the term.
Already been said much better than we ever could.

He cited a Japanese study. He will next cite a Saudi study.
They end up dating or married to closet cases.
Dad: Just one more thing before you can go out with your friends. Paint the house.
No true scotsman...moron.
Let me guess, they were doing it wrong? When you are in charge, it will work?
Globally, capitalism has lifted one billion people out of abject poverty in the last 2 generations.
^^ This is what western leftists actually believe.
Never been really hungry in his life.
Read 'Wealth of Nations'.
It will help you to not be so stupidly wrong. Parent should be embarrassed by that post.
So what? Postmodernism is still the stupidest most obviously wrong philosophy since the Dunces were a respected intellectual movement.
You have no heart AND no brain? Something to be proud of.
NONSENSE.

China is fine, the mainland is screwed up. It will all be fixed once Taiwan takes over.
You're just making it up, full of shit.
Just like the 'no prefect free markets' derp commies are always spouting. It's nonsense they made up.
Actually read 'wealth of nations' then get back to us. Until you do, you are just repeating derp.

Are you 12?
If your not, you're too stupid to live. I suggest a voluntary commitment to the loony bin.
