Capitalism is working great for the 1%. So what is the GOP going to do to make the essentials more affordable? More tax cuts for the rick, more war, more spending, more protecting pedophiles? The current system isn’t working for regular folks.

Well, the obvious disconnect here is that most people, when they talk about socialism, are not talking about the textbook definition that you are using and worrying about. They are talking about post-WWII redistribution and social safety net formation and strengthening. And those decades were a golden age for our country. Peak America. We even had room for McCarthyism. So I think we could do something like that without sliding into whatever darkness you fear.

I’m an anarchist, so I don’t agree with Mamdani’s solutions. However, the inability for Republican self reflection to understand why Mamdani got elected is a guarantee for their shellacking in the midterms. You guys: don’t work ballooned the debt went to war (which you voted to continue) resisted the Epstein files arrested no one botched deportations took ownership in 34 companies promising $5,000 checks Republican socialism and betrayal of the voters has now gifted us Democrat communism.

The same people fly planes into buildings, rape and attack people at a music festival, raid neighborhoods and slaughter people in their own homes, and attack their co-pilot to crash with 100+ souls on board. RIP Theo Von 😭

Living standards until they start to see other countries reaching much better development where citizens get better services and don't pay much for anything. Then and only then will Americans see that they have been fooled by their slave master class.

Anyone who owns a small business that ships items knows that the USPS is the most reliable and consistent option and UPS/FedEx are responsible for endless amounts of broken products that we end up needing to replace ourselves. You'd know that if you were in touch.

“You will own nothing and be happy.” Mamdani leaves out a bit. In socialism what is needed for the ‘dignified life’ he promises is determined by the State. But the State is the producer and when people who produce don’t get more, less is produced. Hence dignity = cell block apt’s

So what’s it called when the government gives every citizen $5k just because?

Americans don't want socialism until they tire of paying for every little thing, find themselves impoverished to the bone while working nonstop, and endure crappy buffering phone services from AT&T and Verizon. They think they have the nicest

MAGAS have NO policies! NO PLANS to invest in public education, or secure SS & Medicare, or REMOVE toxic chemicals from our food/water, or fix our broken health system or do one damn thing to make our lives better. YOUR AGENDA is to serve billionaires and special interest groups

That's communism, champ. Socialism is the fire department.

@nayibbukele already demonstrated that what @NYCMayor says about socialism is simply wrong. "Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has criticized socialist and leftist policies, arguing that while they promise equality, they historically result in poverty, insecurity, and economic stagnation" ~ Google Ai overview

Every Socialist/Marxist/Communist country in the world has FAILED! American capitalism is the greatest road to an abundant life - Why else would 180 countries have their citizens risking Everything to come to America? VOTE REPUBLICAN up and down the ballot & SAVE America!🇺🇸

Just as 'male' and 'female' have fixed meanings, so does 'socialism.' It can't be redefined to win votes—the definition doesn't change. History proves the pattern: Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. Socialism has repeatedly destroyed millions of innocent lives.

is the government paying for these extravagant promises, of the left, or are we the people on the hook again, for the death cult dems promises, which they will extract from our earnings, by force of their tyrannical laws?

None of these self-identified socialists have ever actually done socialism between them and their buddies. They know nothing of socialism other than what they've read in books or tiktok. They always point to Norway as example, a very small super rich highly capitalist petro-economy, not socialism. The point is, they've never done it, and they want to force the entire country into some stupid theoretical shit.

If you were to privatize the post office, most of your rural state wouldn’t be able to afford to have prescriptions shipped to their homes. Amazon is not doing that for a couple bucks.

Where’s Rand when everyone from Trump, his family, and the cabinet think of Government as an ATM.

Senator Paul...Many ppl are under the impression that in a Socialist Economic System, Everyone would get "Their Fair Share of the Nations Wealth". That They would Benefit much more Equally.? The Reality.. If People are to Remain Free..we need a Competitive Free Market System.

Socialism is best through crony-capitalism where they give money to banks, corporate friends, and NGOs then charge the people for the services they need (sarcasm). End corporate welfare, end corruption, end the Fed, end corporate and foreign money in politics, end the monopolies. We don’t have capitalism that is why people think they hate capitalism when they don’t know better.

The government does not give a shit about anything other than what enriches them and their donors. That is it. We are given just enough not to revolt. Soon we will be totally controlled through mass surveillance and will have even less. Enjoy the golden age!

It’s not about sound judgment, but a lack of intellect to comprehend anything beyond giving or getting free stuff.

That would be a total disaster. Not to mention the abhorrent track record of socialism.

And they don't know history. And some, like a certain Senator we all know, are just too lazy to work and want everything handed to them on a silver platter.

When the government-owned company suffers a financial loss, the government would also incur that same loss which is a massive issue. You don't want socialism!

They left out the word slavery. Someone else owns the means of production and you have to work and pay for it. Slavery.

Picture, the grocery stores being run like the DMV. Hard no from me.

I don't care what you call it ran. The truth is capitalism does not work. We already have a socialist country except it's not for the people. It's for the corporations that you guys pass huge tax breaks for like you did in the big beautiful Bill. There ain't nobody. They can deny that we give money to every country on Earth. We subsidize entire nations like Israel. Why shouldn't American people start to get a little bit back?

Socialism views government, markets and private enterprise as a tool In the socialistic view it only counts as socialism if those tools are wielded by the working class The government controlling major means of production isn’t socialism if that government serves the elite

We already have socialism for corporations and the Epstein class.

The government broke their legs, now they're hoping this new political movement will give them crutches.

Tired of "the government" context as if it's a self funded entity. The government is the people. The money is ours, not yours. We are not well represented. We're taking it back from those who have corrupted it. We're taking back the jobs you all have failed at. @SenateGOP

We have a new name now. It's called 'Stakeholder Capitalism' where the government, banks, corporations, and Wall street investors work 'as one' to beat us all into the ground... Oh, and you'll own nothing.

That’s communism where the state owns the means of production. Communism and socialism are two different things, communism is a form of socialism. As a politician I would have thought you have knew that.

The post office has lost 90% of its mail since 2007. Yet, it still delivers 6 days per week. Why? Most of the remaining delivery of mail is all junk mail. Do you want that junk mail? I don’t!
