See my sig.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

it doesn't seem possible that the US could ever become a liberal socialist country such as those in scandinavia. Even the most economically leftist people in the country, union workers, tend to be very socially conservative.
So I guess there's no hope in the US for the leftists
thanks
Nobody in America is dumb enough to want that system of government.

Most Americans are too dumb to want it.
Nu-uh.. they are not dumb enough.

Actually it's quite the opposite. Most Americans are too dumb to want it. About a third of the population supports social democracy, as long as it isn't called that.
Seriously though, considering the position the US lower-classes are in, I am surprised it is taking them so long to get a movement going - probably because the 'democratic' US govt. would called the communist subverters and arrest em :roll:eimi men anthropos pollon logon, mikras de sophias

No it is because the lower classes are conservative. even if they are in favour of economic socialism (which i doubt), they would be turned off from the social liberalism of socialism... those who favour higher wages, etc. tend to also favour school prayer and be pro-life.
Marxist ideas in America have almost always been more populist than socialist

notice how the movements in america favouring business regulation, etc. (the populist and lesserly the progressive movements) also favoured alcohol prohibition, etc. William Jennings Bryant was also the prosecution in the Scopes Monkey trial. The left in America is very conservative
