TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Republican Sen. Rick Scott issued a formal travel advisory Tuesday warning the state of Florida is “openly hostile toward Socialists, Communists, and those that enable them.”
In an announcement, Scott said the advisory is in direct response to the Biden Administration’s “attempts to erase capitalism and the system that has brought prosperity to Florida.”
“Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by Socialists and others who work in the Biden Administration,” the advisory states.
Scott added any attempts to spread the “oppression and poverty that Socialism always brings” would be rebuffed by Florida residents. The former governor turned senator said attempts to spread Socialism in north Florida would be met with “laughter and mockery.”
He added the situation would be “far more dangerous” in parts of Central and South Florida whose residents learn the “horrors of Socialism” from Cuban, Venezuelan, and other Central and South American immigrants."

The issue lies in the fact that those that are trying to further spread socialism \ communism want to eradicate capitalism altogether. They're not talking about it working hand in hand.
As a society we do need some aspects of socialism \ communism such as the financial safety nets for the vulnerable that we have now, but we can't completely dismantle capitalism in favor of going full socialism. We need free enterprise.

I don't think "they" want to eradicate socialism. That's especially rich coming from a state filled with people who are dependent on Social Security.
