i'm often told we're caught in a war of semantics — the left isn't arguing for 'real' socialism, they just want healthcare and free education. while this is true broadly, ocasio agrees with the standard definition of capitalism, and explicitly seeks to dismantle it.

i think the only way we stem populism is by fixing healthcare and housing, and getting young people out of student debt. we need pragmatic solutions to lowering costs as soon as possible or one of these strongmen is going to take power and burn the house down.

That’s basically the decision that FDR made.

this is actually the first time i've thought of him as pragmatic, but damn, wow, maybe - did he write at all about this? i know there were strong populist currents in the 30s and 40s.

yeah, i saw that. but he didn’t self-identify as a conservative. he’s speaking to his ideological opponents here. this is just rhetoric. i try to measure these people by their policies.

I think we need to open our minds to thinking innovatively about what mode of production works best for most people. It’s unwise for founders to either a) presuppose a solution to b) assume the current default will forever be best. So critiques of capitalism are very pro-America

there’s no such thing as a founder in a country that prohibits a private means of production
