Or your apparent preferred system:
- Centralized, authoritarian, and often dictatorial government
- Strong and charismatic leader
- Strict governmental control over opposition, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly
- Severe social regulations
- Strong attachment to moral, nationalistic values
- In some instances, international trade is opposed (because of the primacy of the nationalist feeling)

WASHINGTON (Circa) — Self-declared socialists are fueling the energy of the Democratic Party, marked by the rise of figures like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the mainstream of the party is embracing their agenda.
Last week, a group of roughly 60 Democrats established a Medicare for All Caucus to rally support for a government-sponsored single-payer health care system, an issue that is fast becoming a priority for almost every 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful.
On Tuesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California and Rep. Bobby Scott of Virginia unveiled a plan for debt-free higher education and free tuition for two-year community colleges. The bill stopped short of more far-reaching proposals for free in-state college tuition, with the authors explaining they wanted to keep the plan "within a reasonable budget."
As the November midterms approach, the mainstream of the party is championing economic-populist policies that will shift the cost of services, like health and education, from individuals to the federal government.
According to recent polls, the majority of Americans support proposals for universal health care, free college tuition and an increasing number (46 percent) support the idea of a government job guarantee.
The policies may be popular, but the cost and potential size of the new federeal programs have raised doubts about whether the agenda is feasible or if politicians are adopting the message to rally Democratic turnout in November.
"Each and every Democrat is serious about our agenda," insisted Rep. Barbara Lee of California, a member of the Progressive Caucus running to replace Rep. Joe Crowley of New York as the next Democratic Caucus Chair.
"When you talk about universal, accessible health care, debt-free college education, good paying jobs, the living wage, a better standard of living, that's a serious agenda, it's not just messaging," she told Circa.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Maryland and the District of Columbia can proceed with their lawsuit accusing President Donald Trump of unconstitutionally accepting payments from foreign and state interests through his Washington hotel. The decision clears the way for the plaintiffs to seek financial records and other materials from the president's company.

I'll give you an E for effort on that, at least you tried your hand at humor, obvious, a bit unrefined and sophomoric in content . . . but hey, nice effort.Apparently copied from the Democrat Platform & handbook...
The only person who has complained about the creeping socialism of water meters was our friend the plumber, who should know, right, based on professional qualifications.

I thought you liked the above under Obama?
What did I say about water meters?
I know exactly what I said, and it had nothing to do with socialism.
At least not on the surface.
Can you tell me what it is I said about water meters?
This a good test for your dilapidated memory bank.
It was in a thread where you were complaining about smart electric meters, and included a warning about what was planned for water meters. Don't deny it - I still get a big laugh out of it.
What was the "plan" for water meters?

Your guesses are better than your facts.
You didn't say. I gathered that you didn't like it.
Did you know they can run a microphone up your pipes?
I never linked the words "creeping socialism" with water meters.
This is a fantasy of yours, and not a particularly creative one.
My issue with "smart" water meters is more of a 4th amendment issue, and how the information could be used in the future to tier water use rates based on any bureaucratic whim.
Its more of a consumer advocate position, rather than a political one.
Not really.
Both are sub par.
I did say.
You just dont pay attention.
