No nation is safe from becoming a communist or socialist state, or even a full-on dictatorship. It can happen here, yes. I'd like to think we won't let it happen, but no ship is unsinkable.

We are already socio-fascistic.
The distinction between extreme socialism(communism)
and extreme statism (fascism) is simple:
Under fascism, theoretical ownership of property remains with individuals--until the government tsars mystically decide a reason to rescind the ownership and make demands.
Under communism, the government claims to own everything and rescinds that rule only when they say they have a mystical reason to do so--but they also reserve the right to dispose of property, lives and privileges under "public interest lawmaking" dictates.
The two forms of socialism and statism are not identical; both are Medieval outgrowths--antithisworldly, antiself and antiscience, but in their extreme forms, Fascism and Communism are for all intents and purposes absolutely identical

No. There are lots of government run programs and adding a few more, even single payer health care won't equal communist or even socialist. Most free countries in the world are a mix of government run and privately run programs.

With the right in disillusion, its supporters in retreat and 2d theory for the existence of a administration vacuum, the left ought to then grab capacity, and neutralize the structure to rule by using authorities fiat--your commie time period being "Dictatorship of the Proletariat". In so doing, "the american Communist party" ought to declare itself the actually criminal political ideological entity. Then they'd pass about centralizing the economy. anticipate awful product competition and lengthy strains. celebrate with.
