       Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.—Harry Truman, 1952

       @rbreich anyone who throws around the words socialism and communism should be asked to define them.

       @rbreich A wise man once said, "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need."  The same man, at the end of his life said, "I know only thing for sure, that I am not a Marxist." Of course, it was Marx and of course good ideas get bastardized by the ingenuine.:mastodon:

       @rbreich Odd that corporate bailouts aren't socialism. In any case an economy with higher taxes, solid social programs and government administered Healthcare performs better in the long run. Except for the billionaires, who lose.
