Dear Advocate: There are a few of your readers who write political viewpoints to the regional broadsheets and I think they do not fully understand some concepts.
For example the opposite of a socialist is in fact a narcissist and on the bell curve of human compassion empathy and sympathy are also on different ends of a scale.
For example Mr Donald Trump has empathy which by definition means he has love for his “kind” he is also not a socialist as he is focused on his supporters, friends and family first
So that pushes him into the narcissist camp but, if you remind him of his friends & Family he will maybe show you compassion.
Franklin D Roosevelt on the other hand
was the opposite of this and he used his socialism and sympathy for everyone to not only save the entire United States but the World from falling into Darkness and despair. He really did
make America great again when it was on it’s knees.
As for good and bad words... Socialism has got a bad wrap even though it saved us in a time of great need, mixed with a pinch of capitalism.
It’s powerful nature scared people. Capitalism (a nice word) mixed with narcissism is another story as it is toxic to nature itself and was exactly what FDR had to save us from.
It may be shades of grey but If we don’t use words & concepts correctly we can not be understood or worse.
