There's different forms of Socialism, Democratic Socialism are some of the ones listed here. Our small local Library was closed today due to the funding confusion unfortunately.
This is not really relevant.
The value is in paying even for services you dont and never will get to use.
I don't have kids yet I don't mind paying taxes for schools to run. I do not have a disability but I don't mind my tax money going to support people with disabilities. My tax money is not mine
you must not have met people who believe if their tax dollars dont directly help them then theyre useless (genuinely seen someone rag on using taxes to fix roads and sidewalks)
Because since they claim they interpret the Constitution as if times haven't changed, in which case Clarence is 3/5 a human, and Amy has no legal vote yet.

GOP hypocrisy really stands out - they claim to be "pro-life" for the unborn. However they deliberately REFUSE to raise minimum wage, support family medical leave, support school meals, public education, affordable healthcare, housing and they're actively putting people out of work.
"fortunately", they won't accept their social security or medicare...b/c they won't get it to begin with...it's all been stolen and redirected into the pockets of diaper donnie and leon nazimagarat
Also we don't live in purely capitalistic country either. We have elements of socialism. Tell those people to fight their own fires and hire their own police force.
I guess they are going to live their truth after all 😏 Trump and Musk are determined to get rid of every social program and social service, and all publicly funded institutions and projects.
There will be nothing left except religion and superstition just like in the 16th century.

FAFO PHASE IS HITTING THE FARMERS FOR 🟠🤡 RIGHT NOW. I LIVE IN A FARMING COMMUNITY AND THEY ALL VOTED FOR THE 🟠🤡, AND ARE VERY PROUD ABOUT IT WITH ALL THEIR SIGNS, AND FLAGS.. LITERALLY IM LAUGHING AT THEM..
I'm boycotting the Super Bowl. There's no way I'll watch it with Trump there. Knowing that narcissistic fucking idiot, he'll probably try to throw out the first pitch.
There must be some misunderstanding here. Trump is eliminating taxes on social security and eliminating, to start, the $50 BILLION dollars a year that goes to “people” that don’t even have social security numbers! Imagine how much waste and fraud we’ll find in Medicare and Medicaid.
And when the libertarian fire department arrives to your home, which is fully engulfed in flames, I hope both parties can agree to a suitable fee based upon principles of the unfettered free market!
... they aren't, and making damn sure no one else CAN ether... making beaches private, selling public land, shuttering libraries, banning books, killing all programs of assistance, firing hundreds of thousands federal workers... ENDING FREEDOM...
That's the point. They want us smart enough to work the machines but stupid enough to not question why. See also: the rollback of child labor laws in some states.
It would help if elected democrats started hitting back.
This country was started by a bunch of twenty and thirty something socialist and screaming liberals.
Washington was the old fart at 44.
Unfortunately, the Democrats remain clueless as to what to do next. They have been trapped within their own “politically correct” responses, which, under the current circumstances, is pointless.
Trump and Musk are bulldozing the system and ignoring the rules while the Dems clutch their pearls.
I have been watching the pearl clutchers lose for fifty years.
Much like watching a slow motion train wreck on a loop.
One would think they would have taken a single clue from Obama but you know, he refused to kiss the ring.
If you look at the actual top countries in the world, they all have socialist elements to them. The US remains the only industrialisation that doesn’t offer universal healthcare to citizens, or affordable prescription drugs.
This messaging would never reach them. The monster right wing 24/7 propaganda machine (Fox, OAN, Newsmax, etc.) have the MAGA nuts full attention. If by chance, they saw this, they would toss it aside as lefty fake news.
I should point out that despite the claims of Republicans and Bernie Sanders, "Socialism" is not "Government does thing".
What most people think is socialism is #SocialDemocracy: A capitalist state with strong regulations and social safety-nets.
"Socialism" is workers owning the means of production.
Similarly "Capitalism" isn't "Free market" it's private/outside ownership. You can have a free market under socialism if all businesses are owned by their workers.
They fear socialism because they are to ignorant or lazy to know what exactly entails. For to long our government told us to be afraid of it and instead of fact check they believe it. Don’t they realize that SSA Medicare medical etc ARE socialist programs. Weak up people and read
Yes, I fear the bloated, vindictive, lying government will shutter itself in a catastrophe after robbing me blind. When were you here btw? It's gotten hellish.
If everything was user pays it would be quite expensive!
Good old New Zealand, happy little social democracy in the Pacific. We're far from perfect but mum got a 'free' hip replacement at 88.
No questions, no cost, and a nice doctor calling me before and after.
Your post shows you know nothing about socialism or what progressives are pushing. Either that or you are intentionally lying in an effort to gaslight people into your point of view.
Also, as I’ve seen elsewhere re: DEI, declare out loud which parts you oppose: is it diversity you’re against? Is it equity? Is it inclusion? Own it… use the words (not the acronym). Say “I oppose inclusion.”
Careful what questions you ask - you may not like the answer. The fact that 52 percent of Latino men voted Nazi doesn’t in any way change the racialist tinge to the MAGA movement.
And cover the costs of losing your home with all of your belongings when a climate related crisis takes it away & your insurance doesn't cover the loss. You don't deserve government help, because you consider government help to be that big ole bad "socialism!"
All of this. And don’t take those voucher programs to help get your kid to a charter or private school. Those are funds meant for the public education system.
They just don't admit they use it. A huge MAGA supporter uses WIC for her child, got it out of her on FB. My in-laws are big time MAGA (kills me) but they use it for their son that doesn't work, he gets food stamps. I get so angry, it's upsetting. And they want to fight for his disability. Ughh
He basically did it to himself. Alcoholic and now can't work. He was a great electrician but can't hold a job anymore. It's unfortunate but like I said he did it to himself, now wants to use the social programs we have. Frustrating and maddening.
They will never, ever do that. Every single repub voter I know applies for and receives social services, like unemployment benefits, whenever they can. And all of them find jobs on the side, to pay them cash, so that they can still receive benefits while working.
I know someone (repub) that does seasonal work so that they can work just 9 months a year, and then collect 3 months unemployment for doing nothing. They then complain about how the benefits aren’t enough or that they have to jump through too many hoops to get paid more.
For 911, they do make you pay for Ambulance rides. Here they make you pay $1000 if an Ambulance picks you up. Some places I hear it's up to 10x higher. They pick you up, and like 2 weeks later you get a bill with a form to fill out payment or even insurance.
Wonderful idea, but your leftist forebears made it impossible. Because I'm over 65 I have ZERO insurance options, and I am required to pay for Medicare. Fix those problems, and I'm happy to do as you suggest.
Except this is actually pretty much what they want. Not to pay for national parks or public schools …They don’t see the benefit of their tax dollars - and this is why o loved Andrew Yang’s idea of making tax day a big celebration, where we see and appreciate what we are participating in via taxes.
Trump is also trying to make the States responsible for programs and funds normally guaranteed by the Federal Government. So he can slick other Rich people’s palms at our expense.
Let’s pile on and add to this list:
Don’t buy your fuel at any gas station that collects federal and state road taxes,
don’t pay income tax, don’t support our military in any way!
They have conflated all social programs as socialism. So much so the people who need those services are convinced that they are bad services and should be taken away. Not necessarily understanding that they themselves will be victims.
This a purposeful deception so people will give up their rights
Can we send out window stickers to all businesses stating-
"I PROUDLY SUPPORT TRUMP" and see how many are stupid enough to put them up in their windows? I found out my local business owner, where I have spent $500/month is a Trump-loving racist. I want to spray paint "Nazi" on her building.
Exactly how it should be - folks should be stuck with exactly what their specific candidates vote for or against. I so wish these things were literally based on a combo of party affiliation & jurisdictional representation.
Yes, we rely on farmers for food, but farmers are among the biggest welfare queens when they receive ag subsidies. Many farmers used to vote Dem, but now many voted for trump & he's screwing them over like he does all people. Bet they really miss Biden now! FAFO! https://www.agriculture.com/farmers-to-get-usd10-billion-in-economic-assistance-8765678
We have power, use it. If you can’t join in person here are some days to do economic protests. Call every company you do business with and ask what they’re doing to protect your data, or safety. Make these big companies take a position in this fight. Put on the pressure. Sign up: https://generalstrikeus.com
Oh but they will stop using government services. We all will, because there won't be any.
Except for the richest. Government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich
They are too dumb to understand what they voted for. I hate that I share DNA with some of the idiots. They will find out quickly and claim ignorance. They should just admit to complete and utter stupidity. F*ing cult!
I’ve stayed something similar in terms of assessed corporate tax. Do you enjoy the infrastructure that gets your employees to your work place? Do you enjoy the skilled and educated workforce options at your disposal?
If you hate socialism tell your local government that you want all your utilities to come from for-profit companies and that you want your police and fire departments to switch to private for-profit institutions. Instead of taxes for roads and transportation, you want to pay per use.
Stupid comment. The system means you have to pay and are entitled to the benefits right up
Until the system changed. You and your post is about hate. Shame on you for being so stupid.
Yes! Also plz discard the cultures you are targeting, of Latinos, Native Americans, and Blacks, including our music, dances, lingos, foods, etc. Plz do not celebrate our holidays such as: Cinco de Mayo, Juneteenth, MLK Day, and Indigenous Peoples' Day. (1/3)
FYI: Blacks: 70% NFL players, 81% NBA players. Lacrosse is rooted in tribal tradition, and evidence shows the Mayans, the Aztecs, and the Incas played games of a ball, which could be the origins of soccer. (2/3)
So, Plz google and eliminate 'all things colored' and live a pure white supremacist lifestyle, whatever that may be.

Don’t forget the Jews. Shameful how nazis can walk freely and his son in law and daughter “celebrate Hanukkah”. Oh my son in laws a non practicing Jew who would probably betray his religion at the drop of a dime. Let’s get a few pictures of them by a menorah so people think I’m not antisemitic.
Every American not should, but must see this. He is following the playbook of both Hitler and Putin. Stay strong the world is counting on true Americans to hold on to their republic and the Constitution of the USA. The Dic. is waging war, fight back now or lose.
Sadly they won't need to worry about sending their children to public funded schools, since the orange cesspool is already trying to dismantle the education system anyway .

And trust me, more MAGA are on welfare, SNAP, food stamps, medicaid, and free money programs than blacks and Hispanics combined.

Also, if you're a Republican, please don't indulge your sense of morality at the food pantry. All it does is make people not want to serve you!
Don’t buy your fuel at any gas station that collects federal and state road taxes,
don’t pay income tax, don’t support our military in any way!
