The radical socialist agenda

And if it is, even if it's not, what do you consider socialism? What's your definition of social socialism, this radical socialist agenda that they're talking about? What is it? Can anybody explain what it is in any type of detail? I'd appreciate it

Complex topic! So, long-winded answer! https://s.swell.life/SSEd1yoo4GMRZhi

We've got that. And we're not a socialist country. In Switzerland, we're a Liberal country, not a capitalistic one, but quite Liberal anyway. And we've got this. We've got high salaries. That's why we can all pay $300 a month to pay for the health security system. But the average of salaries is around $5,000. Yes, I know it may sound a lot, but the cost of living is quite high

Most of the people that are talking about it that I've encountered in my personal life could not explain what any of those things are if their life depended on it probably for more than 30 seconds. People like using words that they do not understand the meaning of. And this is like one of the worst worst examples of that fear mongering is at an all time high. And a lot of Americans were taught that these sorts of politics are bad for decades

It can be the left because they're speaking about people from the left, John OSOF and out here in Georgia and Joe Biden, the the the radical socialist agenda, repeating it over and over and over. And I just want to know how many people, whether you're on the right or whether you're on the left, how many people know what it is. Know what socialism is. Understand the elements that make socialism

I mean, that's a really good question that I would like answered. I want to know what elements meant. They're so bad that we don't want over here in America

You're certainly not going to have people that casually follow politics, putting that sort of necessary research into what socialism is, because most people that I know that are on the left in any capacity have read these texts and found them to be insightful. You know what I mean. And so what happens when you meet people who are talking about the radical left? Those people have the same set of talking points because they haven't read the book

And the lady just swallows everything. The d*** smart speaker says with no questioning where the information comes for anything. And it just seems like that's such a big problem. A huge problem in American politics is that it just seems like it just snatches people's ability, just like religion, snatches their ability to think rationally or to think even handedly. Look at all sides of an issue without just demonizing one side or the other

You know? And so I had a conversation with someone in my family. I don't want to go into who, but that they very much so subscribe to the idea that there is this radical left, a very violent radical left. And this person has known that I don't see eye to eye with them politically. But I finally managed to have a conversation with them recently, after years

And your answer to it doesn't necessarily determine whether you're a capitalist or socialist, but there's merit to the idea, and it's disfavorable in other ways. So can we have a discussion about actual ideas without getting snagged up in all the semantic fighting? That's what I'd like to see
