People say they don’t want socialism, but participate in it every day

[Geek Nasty]

People have no idea what socialism is. You live in a very socialist country and the best periods for middle and working class wealth were times of peak socialism. We've been migrating to a free-er marker and shyt has gotten worse for working people for 40 years.

But, "socialism" is always the boogie man for some reason. This is the joke with libertarian people like Milton Friedmann. "Oh, my ideas don't work? Well, that's because you weren't doing it extreme enough for long enough! Just crank it up to 11 and try again for another 10 years!"

Safety nets and civil service aren't socialism.

You can say the same for capitalism

capitalism is a virus that people are forced to participate in if they want a roof over their head. capitalism will not let anyone be as they are without it.

It's the boogie man cause black folks would benefit from it

the only people with legitmate gripes would be those who fled from failed communist regimes

and we all know how they love to weaponize that

Most people are too dumb to argue these points … including most people in this thread

Lol you think capitalism is stable? Its literally destroying the planet and may drive us to extinction. Socialism is the only way we're going find our way out of this mess.

Dam u right so can yuh names these eco friendly socialist states that we can use as an example ?

People hate socialism then use public roads everyday

I don’t think it has to be one or the other. Late stage capitalism needs socialistic programs or this shyt is going to burst. The have nots aren’t going to keep sane for much longer. I’m 32 looking at my second recession while conceding the fact I will probably not own a home in my home state.

We have a mixed system I try to tell people that but it always falls on deaf ears.

 

[Frieza666]

None of this shyt works tbh
