But as socialists go I'm a sort of centrist socialist. The social democracy practiced in the Scandinavian states is my aim and things are still going okay even with Biden up to take over.
He's no longer really relevant to my plans. The corona virus, everywhere in the world except here, has brought people together even as it has forced them apart.
Even here it's making a better case for M4A than democratic socialists ever could.
The failures of capitalism and government run by capitalists are many and are on bold display.
I don't know if I'm viewed as one of the socialists (I'm definitely not a Socialist), but I do advocate frequently and strongly to recognize that free-market Capitalism is a death wish, and that we need to relax on the word "socialism" and recognize that collaboration, cooperation, and mutual social support are not only not bad things, they are the foundation of ethical, honest, and good government. The fact is, I am functionally probably the most capitalistic person currently on this blog in the classic meaning - I am an independent businessperson who controls the the means of production using capital to purchase raw materials to be made into value added products to sell to a willing market. My lifelong experience with exactly what that means leads me to believe that the system could profit from quite a bit more social support to better care for the general Welfare of the populace.
