    We had similar shit years ago when Americans thought Europe is communist. Or years later when Americans thought Sweden became a Muslim state. Or any other bullshit a 12 year old or someone with the mind of a 12 year old believed in the last decades.

    And every time the epicentre of stupidity is Rupert Murdoch. No wonder they love Russia. Both are masters of making up insane bullshit.

      Maybe Murdoch is the epicentre, but I remember Oprah being very worried on her show because the socialist party came third in the Dutch elections (in the early 2000’s).

        Did she ever know that the socialist (well, social-democratic) party ruled Spain from 1982 to 1996 (first part with absolute majority), from 2004 to 2010 and from 2019 up until now?

        The Socialist party was first in Portugal… let’s forget it’s barely socialist but ok.
        Oh and up until recently the (actual) Communist party was third.
