It feels like 'socialism' (which is actually closer to an optimum model than free markets for some types of problem) needs to undergo the same identity shift in the US that started for black & gay people after the Second World War. It's the stigma that's a problem, not the 'socialism'
- kristopolous 11y agoThe biggest thing that needs to happen is the realization socialism can exist next to capitalism just like charities, private clubs and other types of charters. Replacing any class of duality based thinking with multiplicity based ones seems to be really hard for people. The capitalism/socialism false binary is pretty ingrained
- richmarr 11y agoSounds reasonable. Perhaps the 'ism' is the problem; it sounds like an encompassing ideology rather than a tool.
