Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

    Okay cool. So Democrats arguing for limited or unlimited socialism aren’t liberal by the international general definition?

      limited or unlimited socialism

      Welfare is not socialism. Social safety nets are not socialism. You’ve been duped by a misuse of the word.

      These are policies that socialists like because they improve people’s lives. They are not socialism itself.

      Literally how in the fucking world could you arrive at this conclusion

      Not one bit of this question makes sense.

      1. Democrats have never advocated for socialism. I don’t even think Bernie Sanders has actually advocated for socialism.

      2. Liberal in America doesn’t mean socialist or even socialist adjacent. If you zoom out to include a “international general definition”, even less so. Liberalism is in direct opposition to Socialism. Both ideologies organize society in mutually exclusive ways. This is like telling somebody you believe in Cat-Mouseism. It makes no fucking sense

      There are no democrats arguing for socialism. Socialism means a society having collective ownership of the means of production. The dems are a bunch of libs like you

      For context, social democrats are NOT socialist just because social is in the name. Egon’s comment shouldn’t need that disclaimer, but I doubt you knew this.
