🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

It has zero ties to fascism as it’s an international movement as an entity that has an abhorrence to nationalism, let alone palingenetic ultranationalism.

It’s a pure democracy which is antithetical to authoritarianism.

All socialism is democratic. So there’s literally zero use in the adjective.

It’s an important distinction because if it’s collective ownership by all then you aren’t talking about socialism. You’re calling for the transitory period known as the dictatorship of the proletariat, whereby all systems of ownership and the state are torn down.

Essentially moving to communism

Yeah, I have a masters in the subject. Having a problem grasping this isn’t coming from my end.

Collective ownership by who? The workers or society in general?

So socialism isn’t socialism.

Gotcha.

This is the problem with AI and your inability to read 80+ pages of collective wisdom on the subject in the link I supplied you.

lol. Here’s your problem, if socialism isn’t democratic then the workers do not have ownership.

Now differentiate democratic socialism with anarcho socialism, syndicalist socialism…

Oh wait, they’re all democratic socialism.

One doesn’t even have a state

There’s no push for workplace ownership in social democracy. I’ve spent enough time in the Nordics and still have family there, there’s zero push

Socialism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

Since you aren’t aware that socioeconomic concepts require more than just a one sentence line.

Bernie is a practical actor trying to reform within the system. He knows socialism isn’t possible to achieve quickly without violent revolution so he’s playing the long incremental game.

I’ve sat with him on a plane to discuss this.

The democratic socialists of America have it in their charter that a stated goal is the abolition of private property.
