Until we start seeing some socialists in positions of power, passing socialist policies, I'm going to respectfully disagree.

They're right that capitalism is out; but look around. Socialism isn't in. Fascism is.

"Passing socialist policies" would require a majority in Congress. What you have right now, is a growing list of socialist politicians currently holding office. And they are having an impact on the direction things are heading.

Are you saying the white supremacists running the country are socialist?

You can totally have a "socialist worker's party" that is actually anti-Marxist. You can also privatize some state-owned enterprises to maximize profits while still calling it a socialist party. Might as well abolish the unions while you're at it. These labels are just marketing baits for luring in the working class.

The blueprint is out there, just look up the history of NSDAP, and you'll see what I mean.

They’re right that capitalism is out

Is it? I haven't seen a shortage of landlords and my bills keep getting delivered to the door on a regular schedule.

Fascism is.

Fascism is just imperialism returning to the core. We're no longer doing the "Fuck Around" kind of capitalism. We are now in the "Find Out" portion of the economic model.
