but yes,i am not talking about a state run,top down,controls the means of production,social planning socialism.
but when tax revenue is utilized to provide essential services,in this case the CDC,which is indded essential to protect the civilian population from pandemics,that is a form of "socialism".
there are many forms of socialism,just as there are of capitalism.
I have always found the absolutist arguments for/against either system to be disingenuous and fairly infantile.they tend to be more for political weaponization than anything substantive.
just hyperbolic gobbledy gook.
*I am not actually trolling.
I come here to have fun and entertain myself,and I tend to pushback on media narratives.
although I will admit I will troll the f**k out of muppets and neo-nazis.
but if someone is decent with me,i will respond in kind.
I am totally ok with disagreement.
and to be honest,i find that most disagreements are simply by degrees and rarely stark oppositions.
but with our fourth estate in such utter shambles...that is what I tend to focus on primarily.
because how can we we get to the actual politics if we are all using bullshit narratives,fed to us by a rapacious,and dishonest political and pundit class?
that's my hot-take anyways.
