What is Socialism?

Socialism is a political and economic theory of social organisation which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

Some came out to support her comments while others questioned her logic saying much of America's systems were rooted in the idea of community and citizen wellbeing.

Nikki Haley is amazing! Whats more amazing is watching all the whiny smug Socialists come out of the woodwork throwing temper tantrums to defend Socialism because she told it how it is. Leftists are truly the new Nazi party. #NikkiHaley

You don’t want your roads repaired any more. You want your sewer to back up? I know you hate Social Security which transformed retirement for most Americans. Democratic Socialism is not Socialism.

Please run against social security. Medicare, mass transit, and public highways. All forms of socialism that actually work for Americans. Stop being a hypocrite! Run against these popular social programs.

A bit about Nikki Haley

Nikki Haley was the first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina at a young age of 44. This made her the youngest current governor in the United States. She is a Republican.

Her View on Religious Rights

Of Indian origin, Nikki Haley  asserted that religious freedom is as important as freedom of people and their rights. “It makes my heart happy to be back in India, it is as beautiful as I remember it to be. It’s always good to be back home. My parents said I was crazy to come at this time of the year because it is so hot. But, I will tell you that the heat is worth it to be back in India,” she told reporters in 2018.
