        Capitalism can work ... but when greed is put above all else and it’s every man or woman for themselves that’s when things become where we are today... Lord of the Flies...

        Back in economics class, we called this the laziness quotient. Higher socialism scores mean less willingness to work hard. It’s more of an advantage for the pure capitalist than it is an indicator anywhere else because it will most likely never come to fruition.

        Yet most are unable to properly define neither socialism or capitalism. Irony, the US is not pure capitalism as it is now.

        Perfect argument for enabling private education, vouchers and school choice: Our schools aren't teaching history.

        That's somewhat hard to believe. Read Don Watson's American Journeys. He spoke with many Americans and they were deeply hostile to socialism in any form.

        America's don't know we live in a heavy socialist society, we have socialist ideas such as police, firefighters, schools. So the stupid ones are the ones completely bashing it. Ps Democratic Socialism works everywhere, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany etc.

        Republicans have made “socialism” like the famous “If by Whiskey” speech. Listen to it here. It’s in the eye and ear of the beholderhttps://youtu.be/wmuMLd_lAIU

        The @DNC needs to get their head around that fact. #democraticsocialists CAUCUS with @TheDemocrats because to operate within the system means a binary choice. But if the party continues to dismiss socialist values while our numbers grow, a break to a 3rd party will be inevitable

        Careful with polls. A gigh percentage of Americans don't believe Black Lives Matters. I think people believe in SOME socialism being applied in areas such as health and education. Be careful of being labeled. I don't let people label me as liberal because I'm not.

        Guess why. Because 43% of past five years college grads are underemployed ("Fortune" Aug. 2018) with no end in sight. Because of daily big downsizings of good-wage jobs, many industries, all past month (LayoffsNews @LayoffsN). In a so-called "booming" economy.
