Why are Americans so afraid of socialism?

I was with you till the end.

Right. And at this very moment, look where the US is headed (fascism) and the rest of 'socialist' countries are in the fight of their lives to save democracy. The middle class is disappearing in your country, quickly. We still have one, for now. Until we all go to war and turn on the Koch's and Russia's proxy. Fears are well founded.

That is probably the right idea, to let women have a voice and their own right even though it's still unequal in society, scary!!!!!!!!!
