I think most of the world laughs at what the American right calls Socialism. It's good that most of the world doesn't know what some on the more extreme right thinks otherwise they would be even more horrified of us than they already are. I think we would be seen as total barbarians like something out of the 12th century.
The right, when moderate, fulfills an important function though in keeping the left honest. I wish they would get back to being more reasonable.
