Yes, But the simplicity—and the potential for it to be transformed into a ‘dictatorial state’—poses a massive problem; we really have to admit that by now. The Constitution must be revised. The electoral system must be revised. A dictator like Trump should never stand up again into power. Never.

Socialism is not the government doing stuff, especially when it is doing stuff alongside massive private firms. Obama’s medicare program was doomed to fail because he never took it far enough. If you want universal healthcare, it has to be the only option. It can’t exist alongside private insurance.

and forcing billionaires to be slaves and pay for it all

Their base wouldn’t understand coherence if it more than three words long.

And the FASCISM of maga (MOSCOW AGENTS GOVERNING AMERICA) and the G(ang) O(f) P(utin) is about serving and worshipping a CHILDISH, REVENGE MINDED BULLY with a fragile ego...

Subsidizing insurance companies and calling it healthcare isn't socialism. And capping payments into social security for wealthy people and limiting payments out to the neediest people isn't socialism either. Sounds like you're a bit confused

What many don’t realize is that the U.S. has already had a Democratic Socialist President.

Any politician who tries to smear socialism should be asked if he wants to repeal Social Security. Trumpublicans always have wanted to repeal Social Security. This is why they tell young people it won't be there for them. And if Trumpublicans have their way, it really won't be.

Americans didn’t have healthcare before Trump. This is delusional.

So sad that America are now so far gone they’re pining for the socialist paradise of Reagan, Clinton, the Bushes and Obama.

We don’t build our own bridges and roads. Or fight our fires, enforce laws, provide social services. Socialism is not a four letter word. MAGA IS.

I am a democratic socialist and we most certainly were NOT a socialist society before Trump.

And public schools, and highways, and Medicaid just to mention a few social benefits for all.

Health care for ALL NOW!!!!! Are we the last nation on earth to provide this?

Socialism is the heart of the US constitution Socialism is we the people

It’s also roads and bridges and schools and hospitals and…

As a Democratic Socialist, we must do more for our own people. Let’s make that a priority.

You most definitely were not, especially not since Reagan scraped the last remainders of the New Deal. Even the Scandinavian countries, often called “socialist” from an American point of view, were at most social democrats in the best of times.
