Journalist, David M. Perry and I discuss his wonderful piece "What's So Scary About Socialism?". David is a writer for Pacific Standard, among other outlets. This piece (on Medium)discusses the history of the Republicans using the word "Socialism" in a deliberate and cynical way to undermine social programs -- even the polio vaccine!

As this primary season is heating up, understand the way the GOP weaponizes and intentionally gets the term "Socialism" wrong, it's important for the left to be armed with accurate information to counter misinformation!
