Stalinist democrats. Most people have no idea what socialism leads to. "Socialism" sounds so "friendly."
Like every left wing policy, including even the most vile, the word Socialism wears a pretty mask. Remove the mask, and the horror underneith is exposed.
Call them Stalinist, and people will be curious enough to look it up.
The ones who don’t have to look it up will brand us as over the top. It’s like calling somebody “Hitler.” It may be true, but you already lose the argument.
