Somebody attacking a program doesn’t mean the program is wrong though.

You have no idea what you’re talking about.
The answer should be obvious. But regardless of whether it’s obvious to you or not, people will vote for him over Harris, in absolute droves. There’s nothing that the discourse, or bullshit talking points, can do to change that. You don’t need to convince me. You need to convince the millions of people who are going…
As a social structure, America is socialist, not capitalist.
You are white.
Capitalism has killed millions more.
The people cosplaying as non-white are centrists. Actual people on the left don’t see any advantage in marshaling empty arguments based on shallow identity politics.
Look at our most bulletproof social systems. They are the ones that offer disproportionate benefits to private interests. The overwhelming objective of the police, for example, is to protect private property, so that institution holds strong. Meanwhile, public schools are under broadbased attack. Medicare not only…
Communism is a specialization of socialism. It specifies the same core goals, but embodies a distinct opinion on how the goals, once achieved, are structured. Socialism is more dynamic, in other words. It can be implemented in a more piecemeal or mixed fashion. Marx viewed it as a stepping stone on the way to…
You didn’t actually see these attacks, though, because they didn’t happen.
No, I’m talking about socialism.
There has been no redefinition. Under socialism, we would see numerous programs which are fundamentally similar to the types of social programs we currently enjoy. But they wouldn’t be anywhere near as means-tested as ours are in many cases. If you look at ACA subsidies, for example, the program is basically designed…
No, it isn’t. It should be, but it isn’t. Not only do workers not own the means of production in America, but everything about our policymaking layer is actively hostile to that outcome. One need only look at the state of labor unions, and labor issues in general, to understand that.
Bernie’s not struggling with the demographics you think he’s struggling with. But actually, you don’t really think he’s struggling with anybody. You’re just invested in promulgating a convenient lie. Not sure who you think you’re convincing, other than rabid Twitter centrists who were never in Sanders’s corner to…
But we also risk people not actually understanding what socialism is (workers owning the means of production). It’s overly simplistic to be like, “We have police and firefighters and highways, we must be socialist!” Nah, that ain’t really it.
No, it isn’t. It should be, but it isn’t.
It’s absolutely hilarious. Literally the worst thing they can do, if they really want to prevent socialism, is openly admit they are afraid it’s a genuine possibility. Don’t they realize that this is a big, fat advertisement for the very thing they fear most? Want to piss off Donald Trump, become a socialist. That’s…
Haha, I love you coming back to rewrite your shitty dismissed replies.
We can smell you waiting to pounce on any little opportunity to trash AOC a mile away. You’re just waiting for the very millisecond that her WOC armor wears off. You can’t stand that she’s basically Bernie Sanders, but not a white dude, because you can’t just use tired identity politics bullet-points to tear her down.
Literally nobody cares. Do you really think that people are gonna be like, “Oh shit, son, this is the last straw! That old white man done goofed now!” Do you really think you can game the discourse in order to get Sanders supporters to stop backing him? The fact that all you centrist motherfuckers can do is bitch…
