    I'm still a little skeptical because socialism is communism is totalitarian dictatorship in America.

I dunno, man. The kids rallied behind Bernie Sanders and he's a flag-waving socialist. Meanwhile the Republican Party is all gung-ho over the virility and decisiveness of a genuine, bona-fide KGB operative whose background includes oversight of the Stasi in East Berlin.

The 'wingers seem to have lost all concern over big-C Communism and the TechBros are mixing Universal Basic Income and other neo-Utopian schemes in with their Ayn Rand and if that's not radical realignment I don't know what is. I mean, Lolbrooks legit said "Republican or Conservative, you have to choose." When Michael Bloomberg and George Will are saying Down With Republicans you know shit is out past the envelope.
