People that believe in socialism are socialists. They don’t have to label themselves that way.

Americans are so brainwashed to be afraid of certain labels that they will do everything that the label is but will still claim that the label is bad.

People that believe in socialism are not given positions of power by the democratic party

I agree.

They have to win elections and they have to fight from within. AOC and the squad have been dealing with that since day one.

That’s my point. People that actually believe in fighting corruption can win elections in the Democratic Party. We need more people around the country to primary the centrists everywhere and work hard for the people.

Wait everyone! Don't you see? If we join the Nazis we can change them from within!

I think It is hard for elections to push any reform. And that is for countries with actual democracy.

Socialism can only be achieved by non democratic methods

We already have socialism in the US. We have a mixed system. The issue is how mixed we want it to be and what specific policies would be the most effective at improving the lives of Americans.

Examples- Social Security, Medicare, Infrastructure, Fire protection, Police, national parks

What is Medicare? What is social security? What is public infrastructure? What are public schools?

Go to school. It might teach you more than posting dorky memes.

Let’s make it easy for you. What do you suggest we all do?

Public infrastructure

Nazi Germany was socialist because it had hospitals. Rome was socialist because of aqueducts. Every country with roads is socialistclueless

You people are always so smug in your complete lack of knowledge, the way a small child would be. I guess i can't totally condemn you, because I used to be that way too. It's never too late to un-embarass yourself. But right now, I want you to tell me what you think Socialism is, and then I'm probably going to point and laugh at you
