Socialism = Fire departments

Socialism = Police Departments

Socialism = National Guard

Socialism = National Defense

Socialism = Paved roads

Socialism = Public schools

Socialism = Healthcare

Socialism = Higher Education

Socialism = Medicare

Socialism = Social Security

All of these social programs are paid for by taxes. The more successful you are, the more you pay into this system. It is this system that made your success possible. It is educated, healthy, and safe people who do the work, buy the goods, and make the world go round.

Bad-mouthing socialism is bad-mouthing civilization. Anyone arguing for unfettered capitalism is either ignorant, an animal, or both. Unfettered capitalism means privatized fire departments. Homes burn because the owners can't pay.

Anyone who is against socialism is against all the good that we've built. They are against the progress we've made. They are arguing for a return to barbarism, anarchy, and totalitarianism.

They are saying sick people should die outside hospitals on the sidewalk if they can't afford to pay for a doctor. That's what you have to believe in to be anti-socialism. Or you have to believe people should be bankrupted by their DNA, by an accident, by a pre-existing condition

How can any sane person really be for such a dystopic world? Do they not think through their philosophies? Are they really such a balled-up bundle of hate, malice, and fear?

We are all the same people. Love should be our guide. Redistribution of luck should be our mantra.

Anyone to the right of this is wrong.
