As a political theory, socialism relies on scapegoating to build a constituent base. For example, that "the rich," or "Jews," or "millionaires and billionaires," or "the top 1%" are responsible for all of humanities ills. Socialism targets the youth of a nation and people without life experience using naive, simplistic,  and "feel good" slogans ("Medicare for All," "tuition free education," "free housing." etc. for example) that on the surface appeal to self-interest, while asking nothing of the hearers to contribute to the economic well being of their fellow citizens or society. Once in power, Socialists compel compliance with [[authoritarian]] decrees (the "individual mandate" and "shared responsibility contribution" for example) suppress criticism, censor [[free speech]], silence or exterminate opposition in order to maintain power for themselves. There is nothing [[democracy|democratic]] about socialism, and terms such as [[democratic socialism]] or [[social democracy]] are [[oxymoron]]s that are typical of Marxist "double speak" and "double think."

As an economic theory, socialism is an [[authoritarian]] system which advocates strict [[economic planning|command and control]] of [[income]]s and distribution or rationing of goods and services, including food and healthcare. High taxation to expropriate wealth from the supposed "oppressor class" is common to all socialist regimes. Because of its core [[anti-democratic]] and authoritarian precepts, socialism is considered [[treason]]ous to [[America]]'s central ideal of [[liberty]].
