      People that believe in socialism are socialists. They don’t have to label themselves that way.

      Americans are so brainwashed to be afraid of certain labels that they will do everything that the label is but will still claim that the label is bad.

          I agree.

          They have to win elections and they have to fight from within. AOC and the squad have been dealing with that since day one.

          That’s my point. People that actually believe in fighting corruption can win elections in the Democratic Party. We need more people around the country to primary the centrists everywhere and work hard for the people.

            I think It is hard for elections to push any reform. And that is for countries with actual democracy.

            Socialism can only be achieved by non democratic methods

              We already have socialism in the US. We have a mixed system. The issue is how mixed we want it to be and what specific policies would be the most effective at improving the lives of Americans.

              Examples- Social Security, Medicare, Infrastructure, Fire protection, Police, national parks

                Yes exactly! Socialism is when government does stuff, anarchism is when it does nothing, fascism is when he does but shouting and communism is when we do it all together holding hands.

            They have to win elections and they have to fight from within.

            Wait everyone! Don’t you see? If we join the Nazis we can change them from within!

        There are no people who believe in socialism in any positions of post in the democratic party.
