It seems like a lot of Americans are brainwashed into thinking that "public transit or worker pensions or guaranteed pay sick leave or..." are Socialist, or even worse, Communist.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoThey are socialist, but they should be available as well. Socialism isn't a bad word, and neither is Capitalism, both can be used in moderation. It's just the balance has swung way too far in the USA, and it's mostly controlled by corporations (and therefore is crony capitalism). The only place US citizens still have much power is in social reform and even that is being subjugated by crony appointments to the Supreme court and the Red states which are currently passing acts of oppression against LGBQT and women with nods from the Red supreme court.
