Communists/Anarcho-Communists/Anti-Capitalists/ - Protesting against the very system that's giving you the freedom to protest is beyond dense, name me a communist or socialist country where you''re free to protest for capitalism unhindered. There aren't any because they're either failed states, or dictatorships who'd lock you away or put a bullet through your head for the trouble. This applies to the more hardcore veins of socialism too. Communism is a left wing ideology, sources are on the page below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left%E2%80%93right_political_spectrum Political scientists and other analysts regard the Left as including anarchists,[16][17] communists, socialists and social democrats,[18] left-libertarians, progressives, and social liberals.[19][20] Movements for racial equality are also usually linked with left-wing organizations.[21] Trade unionism is also associated with the left.[22] As for the US being socialist, no. The US is a free market constitutional republic with some socialist systems, the systems are supplementary to capitalism, acting as a safety net, they're there in spite of it, not in place of it. The same could be said of the NHS in the UK, not all socialist systems are bad, but an entirely socialist government/country almost always is as there's only so much public money you can steal. --- FFBE: 627,253,879 [Orlandeau - 951 atk - Excalibur] ...
