if that makes sense to you, guess what! that is SOCIALISM BABY!
:)

We love to see some economic democracy. For real though this actually does work when implemented correctly, sadly there aren't a ton of examples of it being implemented at all.

tbh, the only reason socialist principles aren't more prevalent in the states is because of how much of a boogie-man socialism is there.

something you don't like == socialism according to that logic.

while im probably speaking out of my ass here, the ever-looming climate crisis the world is currently in just seems like another example of why maybe countries like the USA should just, i don't know, dial it down on the whole capitalism thing, a system that, as is, has encouraged growth to the point of destruction.
