The fuck is safety capitalism? Is it just some bullshit word for people who don't want to say socialism? Fuck, if that's what it takes for people to accept socialism then they can call it whatever the fuck they want.

Or just basic equality ... more specifically WEALTH EQUALITY

to remove the power of the wealthy to get even more wealthy by exploiting everyone faster

And to give more power to those with little or no money and give them a chance to gain a bit of wealth.

Honestly if we just created a civilization where we spread the money around a little more equally, we'd have less psychopaths controlling the world and more people wanting to cooperate in making things better.

It wouldn't create a utopia because we're too complicated to be happy with one another but it would make our situation more tolerable and manageable.

What is the appropriate bottom living standard for an American citizen, and what role should the government have in ensuring that people don't fall below that?"

Wow. She really said those words. Like with a straight face.

Absolutely knew she was going to get quoted and then said these words.

They could not possibly have more regressive framing - gross. What a sad attempt at sleight of hand.

It was also a feature of early stage capitalism. But instead of analysing features, it's better to orginize and fight for political change

Except those that profit by it ... and that group will shrink as the middle class is torn apart.

You made me look! It looks like the younger demographics (under 30) were about evenly split on favorable/disfavorable views of both capitalism and socialism in 2022. Pew Research Link

It skews more toward capitalism for each older age bracket, which makes intuitive sense. Regardless, some interesting stats in there.

Who the hell cares, so long as it leads to some fundamental changes

If it is adopted we can refer to it as babby's first socialism, right before the c-suites are rightfully purged and execs replaced with the workers on the floor

those other words have been coopted by the right so i get it

Except that that is slowly no longer being the case.

Millennials where promised we get more conservative over time and for many the opposite appears true. Even gen x is in many ways already more left wing then the boomers.

To me it appears as the boomer generation was fed so much propaganda after the war it became ingrained in society, it took a few generations to finally get it out our system but it is starting to happen. The kids will be alright.
