Socialism
*Everyone claps
Socialism is NOT whatever the hell this "sovereign citizen" stuff is.
Socialism is instead a democratization of the benefits of our collective labor.
Rather than permit the kings and nobles, billionaires, athletes, movie stars, politicians, and pop idols to take the lion's share - we use it to invest in our society, our collective well being.
You work? I do too. And so do the clerks at the gas stations and grocery stores - the brick layers and the office workers - we're all just working a job for a living.
For the ones that can't or don't want to work - Setting aside the murky definition of "work" - I'd rather they be fed, clothes, housed and warm, because it means safer lives for everyone.
The trick is the ones who don't want to work quickly outnumber the ones who do when you don't need to work for a living.
What evidence are you basing that assertion on?
History.
Quite the powerful and convincing example you've cited there.
it's not his fault you don't know anything
Hey, I'm not responsible for your education. Your idea has been tried multiple times. I really don't care whether you're convinced the world is round or not.
