Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Thank you for confirming my post. You have no clue about socialism other than USSR. You try to lash and smash everything because socialism bad. You have no clue about macroeconomics either, mixing supply side with Reaganomics and not knowing what and when demand side support “Keynesian policies" work or not (fun fact, now is not the time).

Yet you try to reach out on these exact issues on which you lack.

Do you think anyone in the working class has the time to read a bunch of hair-splitting from academia?

Wikipedia is academia now?

Also socialism in the common usage (e.g. non hair splitting lefties) covers from anarchism to European style soc-dems.

Among all these solutions several have worked or continue to do so. Your post started with "socialism failed", so even your own arguments sink your initial post.

If you were serious about communicating with the working class, you'd stop using the word "socialist".

"socialism failed"

Sonypu are not serious either. Good then, keep it that way, but don't try to act like you know what you are saying.

You're lacking in reading comprehension. The working class doesn't care about your hair splitting. You're in a socialist movement that's incapable of communicating with the working class. But your post confirms this... you care more about sounding smart than convincing anyone of anything.

Also socialism in the common usage (e.g. non hair splitting lefties) covers from anarchism to European style soc-dems.

Lemmy and the content algorithmically recommended to you (by systems created by capitalism) is no "common usage". You're in a bubble and you can't handle anything coming from outside your bubble.

Hasan Piker is currently on the front page of a website owned by Jeff Bezos. You never question why that is LOL.

Says the one who stated socialism doesn't work without knowing a definition and refusing to even learn in wikipedia

The working class doesn't care about your hair splitting.

You don't represent working class.

You're in a socialist movement that's incapable of communicating with the working class.

So you don't know what socialism is, don't know the movement I support, nor its current political score, yet you again try to sound so sure.
