People think it's all a waste of time, and silly nonsense but I'm deeply offended by the Senate banning socialism. (Reddit)
Here's what Google AI says: "The history of "banning" socialism in America involves periods of significant political repression and legislation aimed at suppressing radical movements, particularly during and after the World Wars and the Cold War, rather than an outright, continuous, and comprehensive ban on all socialist thought or political parties."
To me socialism is the roads being free, we all own the roads. Parks. Having the trash taken away. Fire departments, post office, libraries. These are all great things.
And a dog whistle for the right, who have such a boner for unchecked capitalism and oligarchy.
I take offense as a New Yorker who elected a socialist in Mandani and for Seattle's new mayor.
