    collectivist ideas like nationalized industries and universal healthcare to be branded as “Soviet” and somehow Un-American.

    If they are so soviet, then why Supreme Soviet Congress doesn’t legislate them into existance? Or if Soviet is so Un-American, then why America has parlaments in the first place?

      “sovie” isn’t just a council, it’s a worker’s council. That’s why the US institutions aren’t soviets, they don’t even pretend to represent the workers in particular
