The US is a social democracy . Look at how much gov't spends on programs and the amount jobs they provide. Socialist programs are just not advertised as such. They're called medicare or The US Coast Guard etc.
To hear ppl compare the US to Cuba or Venezuela is a joke . It's like comparing apples to cows.

I can't believe I oversaw this ...
Man ... tell us more.
Better yet, tell me why a white Dominican have the same racist views as a white American? Whether it be against a black Dominican or a black person in general?

dumb to people lacking depth of understanding that people couch their existence in their ethnicity (which is real) not your race (which is a abstract construct)
put 10 black or white or asian people from all over the world from different countries in a room..see if they're is cohesion....
put 10 arabs, or Latinos, in a room from different countries in a room... cohesion with ethnicity is night and day.

yeah, its not like she one of da most iconic leaders in history and all...
Hmmmm. No surprise that you consider Margaret Thatcher "one of da most iconic leaders in history"...
"“If we went on as we are then, by the end of the century, there would be four million people of the new Commonwealth or Pakistan here. Now, that is an awful lot and I think it means that people are really rather afraid that this country might be rather swamped by people with a different culture.” These were Margaret Thatcher’s words in 1978 when she was asked by an interviewer how she would cut the immigration numbers if she got to power. As you will notice, that wasn’t an answer to the questions. As you have also noticed, she won the 1979 election."
Sounds a lot like the current POTUS no?
‘Swamped’ and ‘riddled’: the toxic words that wreck public discourse
Why do politicians such as Michael Fallon trot out the same loaded phrases? Stuart Jeffries guides us through the troubled waters

I'm failing to see where recognizing contemporary history is a problem.
you don't have to like or hate someone to recognize that they're iconic...its just what it is

Bruh shut your *** with this history stuff.
History is written by people ....
Just because it is history, doesn't mean it is an accurate representation of the facts.
You're not a historian, it took you 5 hours to find someone that talked about socialism in YouTube, then another hour to research who that person was and finally you ended up with Margeret the Iron Lady.
You are not fooling anyone ...
