English is not her first language. Cut her some slack.
To her, it's black and white. Capitalism vs. Communism. The same black and white we were taught in grade school in the 1950's.
Listen to her story. Her parents literally starved raising them!
I don't think anyone here is advocating communism, and not even the sugar-coated crap the Democrat (hijacked by Marxists) Party is advocating. We may disagree on how much we need the tender ministrations of a central government to 'keep us free', but for most of us, the less, the better.
It (Communism/Socialism/Progressivism/Marxism--all samey-same) is a failed economic and social model, spreading misery and death, and we not only realize that, we don't advocate giving ANYONE too much power, even in the name of preventing it.
Totalitarians, no matter what flavor, are something to fight against.
Unfortunately, people have become lax when 'their party' is in power, forgetting about Eternal Vigilance being the price of Freedom. It's why EVERY action of government needs to be scrutinized, no matter who proposes it, to be tested against how it can be abused worst by those who really don't love this Republic, and discarded if it leaves the option to usurp the rightful powers of the people.
