We are heading into pure Socialism.

I think that strains credulity to say we are heading into pure socialism. We are living in a mixture of socialism and capitalism, but we are more capitalistic than the Euros. And remember, you don't get to redefine socialism into whatever you want it to be,
****

You're welcome to your opinion. As a believer in Democracy and exchange of ideas, I won't be authoritarian and tell you what definition you may use or not.

Anyway.....

Bad culture, plus global trade run amok, plus growth industries that benefit the 401K'ers and higher, plus immigration done poorly - is all coming together to make america, a poorer, trashier, country and people.

And they will be desperate for - housing. Bread. A doctor.

I dont mean today---your truly is well beyond today's latest Bro-Blog thing :)

I mean, trends.

It's not like AOC will ever knock off an incumbent Democrat.

It's not like she'll actually rise a bit within her party after that win.

It's not like an openly proud Socialist will be Mayor of that little New York Shitty.

It's not like, the generation coming up - more and more feel capitalism is the problem and socialism is the answer.

It's not like a few generations - maaaaaaaybe want relief on things like rent or housing or college expenses.

As these forces-----compound.......the march towards Socialism - will be so even the Sheeple on this board look around and say ' yep'.

SOME targeted socialism - we have today. Auto insurance. Health Insurance.

We will be less capitalist in 10 years than we are today.

Just like Club 401K and Coastal Talibanis and global trade and immigration and bad culture helped MAGA go form fringe into power.....

Some of that same stuff, plus the factors I've spoken about on this post, PLUS things like the GOP screwing with ACA, and wanting to screw with Medicare/Medicaid..... will indeed help bring Socialism to more prominence than it is now.

Now, if --and I dont know the answer -- IF AI/Robotics out out some industries..... that will only add fuel to the fire. Literally and figuratively.
