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.

Thanks to @redbeez.bsky.social.
The internationalists wanted equal benefit for everybody.
The nationalists wanted benefit only for their particular master race.
International socialism versus national socialism.
Nationalism+Socialism=Nazi.
Look at the places that ditched fascism in the past that didn't ditch capitalism
They're facing another fascist surge because capitalism is designed to create fascists
The US is a very rich country and also has the benefit of being able to get benefits from economies of scale that Scandinavian countries can’t get.
The happiest countries are social democracies. For good reason: They take care of one another.

I want real medical care!
None of that "Medicare for all" crap, either.
Medicare SUCKS, cost a fortune during the 48 years I worked. And now, it costs me 2x times what Obama care did.
For less coverage.
The messaging by democrats is messy and confusing.
You can have capitalism with socialist progreams, universal healthcare etc.
socialism IS what helps all the people.
maybe that's worth considering.
I agree that social democracy is better for the people, but as long as you let rich people be rich and privately own and control the means of production, you will get trumps.
Democrats are where they are welfarist capitalists.
I know his career very well, and I supported his candidacy in the democratic primaries both times.
There’s only one they understand…🙄 The others are mysteries to them.

You do have a choice not to receive Social Security, though you don't have a choice not to pay the payroll taxes.
Imagine if it was never available.

and breathing clean air.
No public power.
No independent labor.
No social security.
Your ignorance is frustrating
This is much the same way that they blur the line between conservatism and fascism.
They’re planning on us being too stupid to see through their word games.
But the difference between firebombing and nuking a paper city with a fission bomb are only in the number of destructive devices not the level of destruction.
25,000 died in the Dresden bombings.
In fact, we might insist on it.
Someone in Texas should cut off Elon's water and power.
And of course, Senior citizens and millions of poor people.
If you are drowning 40 feet from shore, a Republican will throw you a rope 25 feet long, tell you he's met you more than halfway and it is up to you to make up the difference. Then, they reel in the rope.
If it benefits We The People
They want to destroy it
That’s really All you need to know
A socialist government provides public facilities such as schools, hospitals, transport, rubbish collection, water, housing and sports grounds, financed by taxes, for all at cost or less.
Pretty good, huh?
IS the response to Admin attempt to Erase Politics,
Which is what it is,
Replacing it with fiction📌
…idiotic fiction.
Great job
A lesson in politics
Well, i don't know why I do study John Stokes 🙃 and Harvard politics

Please preach...I mean teach!
The evil powers in this country have always been able to scare millions of ears w/ the dreaded word "socialism".
#Socialism & #GeorgeSoros - the two biggest scarecrows Republicans always used to impose their dark agenda upon their nitwitted supporters

The wealthy control the means of cultural indoctrination.
Americans are indoctrinated to believe in being sodomized by the rich and to feel grateful for it.

May we Protest like it’s 1775 but peacefully ! If we don’t then we will end up like 1930 Germany !
We have no king!
Due process is a thing!
If our Congress won’t take action we will!
Talk is cheap take action!

Socialism is what they called their itchy hemorrhoids.
Socialism is just a buzzword that means "anything a Republican doesn't like"
So in MAGAland, a bad cheeseburger is a "woke" cheeseburger, while a tasty pop tart is a "patriotic" pop tart.

Fascists will make excellent crab bait. We ain't eating the rich. Fuck that.
DOGE a shadow agency created by exec order is actively dismantling democratic safeguards, helping to lay the groundwork for shifting public funds to the ultra-rich & replacing career civil servants with loyalists. This isn't efficiency. It's a billionaire coup

State ownership has existed in previous economic systems, from slave-based to feudal-based. It is not synonymous with socialism.

Capitalism is the Insurance Company denying your claim.
We need Socialism. Capitalism is literally killing us.
Chris Hedges as well, they've both opened my eyes.
I haven’t heard of Hedges and I thank you for sharing his name . I will certainly look him up.
Someone needs to have the courage. To say publicly to the news media. That what Trump is doing to federal workers and the American people. Is cruel and evil and he will pay and be punished for what he is doing.
There were several missions to stop him, but that's a digression.
I know that Western leftists think their praxis would be different, but I doubt it.

But obviously, it’s more complicated than that.
These two things are inherently slightly left wing but as the chart shows, in the grand scheme of things it’s closer to the center. (Not centralist, not “let’s just all hug it out”)
It assumes anything left of centre is an extreme authoritarian regime and everything right-wing sound reasonable and almost benevolent.
And Liberals wonder why people think they're sanctimonious & enabling fascism to thrive, while they post this stuff
