    Lot of people think COMMUNISM = STALIN = URSS. I think that’s one of the issues

      Yup. It’s this big scary word that immediately extinguishes serious discussion as soon as it’s brought up, unfortunately. Few people actually know what it means or are aware of the nuances that exist within “socialist” or “communist” policies.

          It’s a paradigm that many people can’t see past because capitalism is all they know. It’s not that different from the reaction when heliocentricism or evolution was introduced. I mean, there are still people who reject both of those.
