Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952

People who watch LYIN’ Fox > FAKE news, need to remove the Fox needle out of their arms. Fox is solely Manipulation for the Corporate TAKEOVER of America! 🇺🇸
And yet trump and his stooges have none.
When the government helps rich people they call it a bailout or subsidy.
It's communism. It's Lenin & the Bolsheviks.
It's your incessant brain washing.

Americans were skeptical.
The military was worried.
But Truman ended the war and
restored Europe financially.
America prospered under Truman.
A simple man from Missouri who
became one of our greatest
presidents.

Social:
Of or relating to human society, the interaction of the individual and the group, or the welfare of human beings as members of society.
It's kinda right there.
We SHOULD be spending more of it on ourselves instead of warmongering around the world.
Oh, wait! I live in socialist Canada 🇨🇦
Hopefully we don’t screw it up.
Capitalism is about concentrating capital by exploiting resources and now society itself.
So you can see why they demonized the term from the start, projecting the same minority control they require.

Capitalism is about those with money owning and profiting off the means of production, including its workforce.
Socialism is about the workers owning the means of production.
Capitalism is about the government (now made up of the people) owning the means of production.
Now watch their heads explode.
The error / lie is that socialism is not a bad thing.
But it’s the other third that really screws us because they abandon Dems for doing ANYTHING other than make it rain, but they let the Cons get away with raging, destructive bullshit.
The US never recovered.
Seems like “billionaires” should not be allowed to run for public office… because they might lose sight of those who are not billionaires or even millionaires!

Socialism helps society. Privatization helps only private individuals.
Government exists to help ALL the people, to provide needed services, like public education, transportation and the post office. They were never intended to make money!
And God forbid you mention solidarity, be in something together. God forbid you upgrade to the c word. Oh my!
Clinton was POTUS 25 years ago. There's no both sides do it conversation NONE whatsoever
Don't make me laugh with your talk of solidarity. VP Vance just referred to US Democrats as the opposition
GOP IS THE PROBLEM
The Democrats used to be the party of the working-class.
Had they studied their post-WW I history, they would have realized that the workers gravitate to far-right ideology when they are suffering.
Americans need to be educated, NOT placated.
The lesson is more so that the worker listens to the populist. Obama did it in ‘08.
In order for those attacks to be unsuccessful, education is the only path forward
Progressives need to start charter schools the way the right wing ideologues have.
Very stupid folks these MAGAs
“It is too early for politicians to presume on our forgetting that the public good, the real welfare of the great body of the people, is the supreme object to be pursued;"
-Federalist 45
Because they need the working-class to believe laissez-faire Capitalism is good for everyone.
The last time the workers organized, child labor was outlawed and the adults got lunch breaks.

Norway
Sweden
Finland
The happiest and wealthiest citizens on earth - must be terrible!
The Swedish PM Olof Palme was the closest to achieving democratic socialism in a Western country but he was assassinated before he was able to finish it, probably because he was a socialist.
