That depends upon the level of education attained. For high school graduates, I suspect the answer would be "not much", or "what's idealolog-og-whatever?" It's no secret that our public schools are not up to par. For high school graduates in this particular community, I'd expect a rational discourse on the nature of the political spectrum and an ability to identify the major beliefs of all the -isms. Students with higher education are anyone's guess, based upon what they studied, but they'd at least have a serviceable high school education on the subject. Why, what were you taught?

Because the more you rant about Obama being a socialist and NK being a Marxist country, the more I realise that McCarthy has done a damn good job over the Atlantic. If any totalitarian regime in Europe had managed to do the same, I'm doubtful we would have any "free" countries left in the world.

Socialism, Marxism, and Communism are all used pretty interchangeably in the US, and they should be since they all lead to the same things to some degree or another, even though Marxism and Communism have never really existed.
Now here's a question for you: What kind of education did you recieve in economics?
