Are socialism and democracy compatible? I think they are. Many in the U.S.A. think of socialism as being evil. It is neither good or evil. It depends on whether the freedoms of the people are respected. Among the most important of these rights are freedom of speech, freedom of religion and rights concerning sexual orientation and gender identity. Free elections are also necessary. If those who are elected to office start to abuse their power the people should have the power to vote them out of office. Impeachment of abusers of power should always be allowed. Influence from the megarich, corporations and PAC's has become too great in the U.S.A. In lobbyists and PAC's yield too much power. This is something that needs to be fixed. No single group of people should have any more power than others based on wealth, race, religion or political party affiliation. Everyone has a voice, and it is time for all of to speak out.
