    .@usatodayopinion: Socialism is a political fashion statement, a way of saying, 'Look at me! I'm a rebel with a cause!' But it's a mistake to sanitize the word and ignore its history.https://usat.ly/2NmsCFa

        "True socialists believe...government should make the decisions" This is demonstrably wrong. How you gonna write about socialism when you don't even know what socialism is?

        We need REAL DEMOCRACY--a govt of,by,4 the people--committed 2 all our general welfare & good old-fashioned 🦅American🇺🇸caring+sharing🗽. We don't need bloody foreign ideologies of state capitalism (communism, socialism), oligarchic corruption, fascism or libertaryan dystopia.

        capitalism is still the best system even though it completely corrupted our representative democracy. No that’s what it does. It controls the only way for the population to make change, crafts markets to benefit them and screem about the all holy free market.

        And feudalism and slavery were the best before that. It's a terrible argument.

        Lemme guess you’ve been listening to Richard wolf? He’s the only economist who vocalizes the emotions of our hypocritical economic system.

        Socialism is also meant to be anarchist in accurate practice. Not suppose to be state capitalism and centralized authoritarian governments.

        2/2 Today is no free market but an oligarchy based market where a small group of corporate fascists hold sway over the rest, thru access to credit, debt & wage enslavement & price fixing are used to keep any real freedom from being known. In the middle is where the answer lay.

        I want the health care system that the Netherlands, France, Canada, Japan and all the other first world countries have. Republicans have been calling those systems "socialist" for decades, that's why people keep calling it "socialism" and supporting "socialism".

        That’s not socialism you dolt. Government providing basic services is NOT an economic model. It’s policy. Socialism is the central control of the economy.

        I know that's not socialism you tool (insulting people you don't know online is so cool right?) I said Republicans called any government assistance socialism for so long that people who want government services say they're socialists.
