I am and I can say with full certainty that the "socialism threat" paranoia in our region is incredibly stupid. The real threat has always been corrupt governments and corporations meddling in politics that gave away the birth of guerrillas (and even sponsored them) like here in Colombia.

Blaming specific events like starvation on Communism can be fair.

> regulating everything for the sake of it. Eh, if you're not hiding behind a LLC I can see regulation not being necessary. Like you want to build a factory and dump the sewage into the river? Fine, but uh you're personally going to prison forever then.
> you want to build a factory and dump the sewage into the river? The weird thing is this crap gets deregulated while hairdressers get fined for not having the right subchapters of licenses.
