Socialism is ordinary ppl actually donate to help others in dire needs. Providing them with shelters here.
Evil is the Republicans trying to blame this on the State government because we're a big democratic State. We will be back and always be the biggest obstacle for the ring wings.
Imagine a capitalist fire department or police department.
"Hello, may house is burning down!"
"Okay sir, that will be $5000. Are you using debit or credit."
"For God's sake, my family is inside!"
"Sir, we can send them as soon as a payment is confirmed..."
You don't have to imagine it. That's how fire departments worked initially. They were private companies that you paid via an insurance policy. When you paid you got a plaque to put on your house. No plaque, no service.
IIRC, it was the great fire of London that put paid to that model!
And to go one step further many areas have cut their fire departments and privatized fire service. Sick and sad. Everyone deserves to have fire and police service. Why do we pay taxes??
Socialism is not something that Americans will ever know anything about and Capitalism, stealing from one another, is all Americans will ever know until they kill one another over money.
Socialism is something Americans know intimately, but pretend they don't—Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the Interstate Highway System... really, anything that's available to *everyone* regardless of who they are or their ability to pay.
I was just thinking this. And in a the 19th century fire brigades were privately owed and you would have to pay them to put your fire out. We learned the hard way pure capitalism is a disaster
