The label "socialist" has been used as an attack by Republicans. I've heard them use it against former President Obama when he made a statement about "spreading the wealth". Republicans and even some Democrats have also referred to Bernie Sanders as a socialist. Most recently heard a news analyst even refer to VP Kamala Harris as a socialist. Why is that a bad thing?
For Discussion:
1. What is socialism?
2. Why is it bad?
3. How does that apply to Bernie Sanders and the rest that are labelled as such? Is the wanting everyone to have healthcare and be wealthy count as socialism?
