Attacking Chomsky as Old or bringing up Khmer. Some random non-checkmarks on twitter. Ilhan Omar joining Trumpists? If Ilhan Omar and Trumpists agree on something. You probably need to investigate this further. There's almost certainly something there. >This is not to say, of course, that the socialist Left has been as bad as the Trumpist Right in this episode. It has not. But I would expect better of the socialists than of the rightists — or perhaps I should say that I would hope for better. The author doesn't seem to understand. This isn't about socialism vs capitalism. Socialism died in 1989. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_of_1989 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_of_1989 This is really about wealth redistribution. The key take away is that the USSR only functioned because of slave labour via gulags and not taking the cost of development and innovation, stealing the ideas. 100% employment. Then also not dealing with decadence in society. The thing about capitalism is that it inherently is designed to fix these things. Much more efficient system as far fewer people need to work in society. We can afford to have far more people not participating in labour force. That's the intellectual break and why the USSR would inevitably collapse. China did something slightly differently. Massacre everyone at Tiananmen Square but do economic free trade zones with ultra low taxes and property rights. There's no going back for China and it's obvious their adoption of capitalism has been tremendously successful. That's the thing about the american socialist. They aren't calling for this. They reject free trade zones and ultra low taxes. Bernie bros definitely got stabbed in the back. I find it so funny you have Tulsi Gabbard who is? was? a democrat who called that out. She was a colonel in army and had enough honor to see it for what it was. Obama spoke well on why he designed the obamacare system the way it is. If you went all the way to single payer system, what do you do with millions of people working for insurance and such? Insurance doesn't go away but there's definitely some serious layoffs. Those people don't deserve that. Effectively what he designed is a single payer system via states that will inevitably grow and displace people in the private system at a slower rate than would happen. No, I think the better description of the american socialists is more 'system is corrupt, im not working anymore' UBI and MMT together will be great because... oh wait we trialed this and it didn't work. "You're a nazi. Go away."
