No it is not. You can have totalitarianism in a capitalist economy. We're looking at the beginning of one and it will be one if we give trump 4 more years.Socialism is a subset of totalitarianism.These loons have conflated totalitarianism with socialism.To them, it’s a completely leftwing ideology when in reality it’s been part of the framework of the country since the beginning. The founders had socialist ideas after all. They basically were leftists. It’s also stupid to say that communism and socialism are the same thing when in reality communism is simply an example of socialism. Socialism itself is a very broad term that can’t be defined simply.
Also, isn’t Trump the bigger socialist than Obama? His bailout to farmers was twice as big as Obama’s bailout. Are republicans going to pretend that isn’t socialism?
