Actor and activist Jim Carrey had some advice for Democrats when he appeared on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" over the weekend.

"We have to say yes to socialism — to the word and everything," the millionaire filmmaker said.

"We have to stop apologizing," he added.

The comment came after host Bill Maher expressed outrage that Republicans are attacking Democrats who veer toward the extreme and express a love for socialism — a model of government that has destroyed other countries.

"But that word—the Democrats need to get a plan to fight this slander of, 'Socialism, you're going to be living in Venezuela,'" said Maher. "And I don't see it yet."
