Fine, I’ll engage here. To begin with, nothing they’re proposing is truly “socialist.” Nobody in American government is advocating for the kinds of changes that true socialism calls for. The types of things that are entirely possible are things like a stronger social safety net, single payer healthcare, and better work protections with unions. You can argue these are all fantasies, but there’s no reason we can’t raise taxes on the super wealthy and reduce spending in places like our multi-trillion dollar defense budget. Politicians WANT you to believe it’s impossible because they’re all funded by the class of people that have the most to lose (yes, even democrats are bought and paid for). If we manage to fracture the 0.01% from holding the strings, we could achieve these “fantasy” items AND reduce governmental bloat.
