Are you saying that the USA is a communist nation because there is no middle way? Once we passed the Social Security laws America was a communist nation? Do people know of this no middle way? So if the Poor Farms of colonial America was socialism the country has been a socialist nation almost since it began.It may be that the old battle cry: "socialism leads to communism" has lost its fear factor? I don't see many requests for Scientific Socialism on the boards nor even requests for Christian Socialism, and many are still waiting, over sixty years now, for Social Security to turn America into a communist nation. Even the poor farms of early America didn't do the deed.
"It may be that the old battle cry: "socialism leads to communism"...
No, you dope, socialism IS communism.
There are six forms of governance that require the bending of the knee and the neck to government.
These six are actually only a single way of governing, the collectivist way: Liberalism, Socialism, Communism, Fascism, Nazism and Progressivism,believing that government knows best. All six forms of socialism are simple variations on a theme: the individual must be subverted to the collective.
The alternative is capitalism, and free markets, based on individualism. “… the perennial question of European civilization: the individual versus the state. “Man is not ordained to the body politic, according to all that he is and has,” Thomas Aquinas wrote; “and so it does not follow that every action of his acquires merit or demerit in relation to the body politic.” NYSun
There are only two choices:
“There is simply no other choice than this: either to abstain from interference in the free play of the market, or to delegate the entire management of production and distribution to the government.
Either capitalism or socialism: there exists no middle way.”

I see you're still upset because Joseph Stalin's BFF, Roosevelt, couldn't make it a socialist one, huh?
Have faith.....his doppelganger, Bernie Sanders may accomplish it.
