    This is pretty good timing for this topic, especially here on lemmygrad.ml we have been bringing this topic up multiple times.

    PSL's candidates Claudia & Karina even mention how income would be capped, though they do mention locking up war criminals and Wall Street con men (which would still be under a prison system designed for rehabilitation and reeducation):

    All income and assets over ten million dollars would be subject to a 100% tax – with no exceptions or loopholes – as would all offshore corporate profits. All debt from student loans, bail bonds, medical and utility bills would be canceled.

      I am curious though. Is there a point on voting socialist? We all know that even if they win capitalists will not give out their power and will just murder them.

        The main purpose of these campaigns is to help educate more people and further bring class consciousness to the working class, as we saw Bernie's movement had done. We are very likely not going to win, but we need to organize as most people only pay attention to politics once every 4 years.

        Here's an article from PSL regarding Bernie's campaign in 2020 that may help answer questions:
