It was pure Misogyny plain and simple.

And BTW , lest you have amnesia the RWM vilified HRC, I thought I would never hear the end of her "baking cookies" comment. And the vehemence towards Chelsea was shameful.

Communism is:

1. A totalitarian system whose authority comes from the business end of a weapon.
2. A non-democratic system whose direction is determined by a handful of minds seeking power and glory for themselves.
3. A system based on a theory that depends on the unquestioning loyalty of a nation full of worker drones without ambition of their own.
4. A system that rejects all concept of private ownership and the individual, so that all resources and labor are merely instruments of the state.
5. A system that holds economic status itself as evil, and you will have what your supreme leader thinks you need to carry our his ideal.

"Social democracy", the politically correct term for Socialism is:

1. A non-totalitarian system enforced by an army of "civil servants" who can, should they or their superiors, elected or not, wish, make or break a life.
2. A democratic system so far as people dare vote against the forces that provide service necessary for existence.
3. A system that is based on the theory that individuals are either powerless, or a threat to themselves and others, and must be controlled.
4. A system that allows private ownership of the means of production so long as it does not interfere or supports the centrally planned economic sectors.
5. A system that holds that all individuals are of equal and identical potential.

The principle that our nation was founded on and that have made us the greatest power the world has ever seen, is Capitalist Republican Democracy:

1. A system of set guaranteed liberties, among them speech, religion, assembly, self defense and property, and other rights limited only by our ability to exercise them without harming or infringing on the same rights of others.
2. A democratic system where representatives determine, and carry out the collective needs of society as a whole in constant fear of unnecessarily burdening them or infringing on their rights.
3. A system where the health of a society is dependent on the individuals ability to choose the gainful direction they work, and have their success or failure be determined on the quality of their choices.
4. A system dependent on the individuals ability to offer and be compensated based on the demand and quality of their skills and what they produce, and to turn around compensate others for gainful goods and services.
5. A system where all are equal before the law, and are each capable of finding and reaching their potential according to their own efforts and ambitions.
