Capitalists can just be like “dude look at this NPR article socialism is bad”

Meanwhile I have to have an extensive understanding of philosophy, history, science, economics and politics in order to justify my worldview.

Sometimes I forget that people don’t have comprehensive world views, and accidentally say something’s CIA propaganda, then have to go through that whole process of explaining how the CIA having fronts and interfering in global affairs isn’t a conspiracy, it’s just reality, and that finding sources about it isn’t the same as finding sources for an 8th grade book report, because it’s the goddamn CIA! Shits exhausting and sucks balls, I just want to be dumb I know I’m right bitch, get off my dick

    Honestly communism just needs a quick rebranding

    Freedom Economics would probably work pretty well in the US.

        Workplace democracy is the best one imo. Like, it's simple and straightforward. Instead of having to say, "we want the economy to be democratic", which is a confusing principal to people who have spent all their lives living under the "free market", just say, "we want to be able to control our workplace. We want to be able to vote on who our leader is. We don't want the workplace to be a dictatorship"
