Socialism is only a threat to the people who hold (stole) the working classes’ money, rigged the game in their favor and bribed the politicians to help them loot the treasury and make laws favoring them alone!
Oh, they read books alright. Like the one of 3000-year-old fairy tales and the Jewish Zombie. But as always the draw the wrong conclusions. See, it’s Reading AND Comprehension.

Their indoctrination teaches a faulty definition of socialism. It’s just your tax dollars at work.
