What has always surprised me is why bourgeois communists in the United States are called democrats or liberals.
The Confederate Party knew in advance that their minions would be doing undemocratic things, so by calling themselves "the Democratic party," they tricked ignorant people into thinking that "the Democratic party stands for democracy." They really, really don't stand for democracy.
And they are "liberals" because they waste a "liberal" amount of taxpayers' money.
