Today, Spain is voting their new Parliament, that will choose the new President. These elections are very important since we can tell Angela Merkel to calm down or keep being her subordinates. on the other hand, two new parties have appeared with fresh ideas, fact that makes the new political scenario even more interesting.
What are your preferences?
If Garzón wins, which won't happen, I want to dress like Marilyn while he calls me at my confidential number, saying that he needs to see me. "I'm on my way... Mr.President" I whisper to him as I enter the room, we proceed to... uhm, solve the crisis.
Is Spain very socially conservative? That should change.
Is there a lot of welfare? If so, that should change too. They someone who can create jobs.

The reason Americans fear communism is because it encourages people to be dependent on government for everything. No government is perfect and you have a lot of incompetent leaders in this world. Plus, socialism and communism are expensive. A nation's work force is its economic engine. With people unwilling to do for themselves, yet still needing to be supported, how is that going to be affordable? Especially the larger the population. Keep borrowing until you end up like Greece or Puerto Rico? Communism also means more often than not an authoritarian government that takes power from the people, and people never being able to hold them accountable for their incompetence. Russia and Venezuela are what we think when we hear communism. Neither is ideal.
Last year a Ciudadanos representative asked me if I could work for them in a certain project and I told them I didn't knew they existed and asked how much they would pay. The bitch told me that it would be "for free" because everyone can do my job and it's not that easy. Then why did you ask me to do it, then? I still don't know what Ciudadanos actually represents and Albert Rivera needs to be deleted.

More like decades of propaganda and indoctrination (McCarthy, his impact). Lots of European countries who employ socialism are doing quite well, namely the Scandinavian ones. And like I said the word 'communism' just like the world 'liberal' have different connotations across the Atlantic.

C's have explained their ideology more than any other party actually. They are social liberals.
