Maroon 5 songs about Jane demo recordings are good, I swear.

The fact that you would choose an option that results in the bombing of children says a lot about you.

When both parties are capitalist neo-liberals, there's no real choice at all.

I always vote third party and I'm not stopping now.

Welfare is not equal to handing over the means of production to the working class. So what mamdani is doing is not socialist.

I have a union job and all I have to do is text my boss "I'm using PTO today." 30 minutes before my shift starts.

Poland and Soviet Russia were both climbing out from the ashes of monarch rule. They quickly scrambled to reclaim borders and expand those borders. Poland was technically the first to expand and move into Russian territory by capturing Vilnius and then Kyiv. This was not a "big bad Russians were conquering poor Poland" situation.

Poland was not the victim you're painting them to be in this scenario.

You're citing a capitalist finance website to prove your point about socialism. You seem to be confused between social democracy and democratic socialism. I understand because they seem so similar that they must be basically the same thing, right? Nope.

The Nordic model is a form of social democracy. They take many of the benefits that socialism provides and builds them into a capitalist economy. Democratic socialism is an actual form of a worker owned an operated economy.

If you're ever in doubt, ask the question, "who owns the means of production?" If the answer is huge megacorporations and wealthy billionaires, then it's a capitalist economy. If the answer is the working class, it's socialist.

None of those are socialist countries. They're all capitalist

Russia devolved into capitalism. Funding a military is incredibly expensive and necessary when a communist country wants to exist in a world with the United States. This creates a militant economy that must be centrally governed to coordinate this military might. True democratic socialism is impossible as long as the United States exists as an imperialist force.
