Education in the US has problems. Not too surprising that MANY US citizens are confused by labels. i.e., Conversion Therapy has a VERY bad rap and rightly so. BUT Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE) & Sexual Attraction Fluidity Exploration - No, why because no one knows
What they are. They are Conversion Therapy by another name. Same Goes for Socialism. This immediately springs to mind the idea of Communism in the US because the USSR even had the name Socialist in its title. IN this case however NOTHING about the USSR was Socialist.
The USSR was an Oligarchy which Russia continues to this day, Putin is an Oligarch plain and simple. We also seem to have problems with the term Fascism. The best example of Fascism was Hitlers Germany, the Nazis. We don't think anyone would support the death camps etc??
Yet today in the US the term ANTI-NAZI or Anti Fascist is considered to be BAD. This because an ignorant president labeled ANTIFA as a bad thing. The first ANTIFA were those that stormed the beaches of Normandy!! The problem we seem to have is if someone slaps a label on
Something, we assume they are right. The Soviets were making their system LOOK better by labeling it "Socialist", so called voodoo Conversion Therapists are doing the same with Sexual Orientation Change Efforts or SOCE. & trump labeled a group BAD because they were fighting HIM
Jim spent 4.5 years on a Fulbright Scholarship in Warsaw between 1976 and 1981. The Solidarity Years. He saw things first hand although Poland did have more freedom then, than in the USSR. Communism does NOT = Socialism and vice versa.
