    The most persuasive people I’ve seen don’t use that word often. They directly link peoples concerns to inequality (unfair taxation and employment laws), climate ( fossil fuel companies) and unregulated abusive businesses such as big tech.

    This is the way. Lefty movements have rightly been criticized for being too academic. Expressing people’s concerns in a more relatable and practical way gets more people on board.

        I can see why they’re your ex.

        every conservative gets triggered like a sleeper agent hearing the code word to execute their mission, we should probably abandon it and just talk in simple practical terms people can understand.

        Hard agree.

      Exactly. We don’t need “socialism”. It’s just a word, one that has been deeply tainted through generations of propoganda. We can discard the label if it doesn’t help good outcomes… Material conditions are what matter, no matter what you call them

      I love to fight someone forced to directly defend unaffordable housing and medical care. Please, tell me more about how you hate the common people and want us all to die. Speak up for the camera
