I don't think you can be a Social Democrat and be a capitalist at the same time. A Social Democrat is someone who understands that capitalism is a destructive system and needs Band-Aids otherwise it'll destroy us all. They understand the capitalism is a rabid dog that needs to be muzzled. They understand that we should replace it they just don't have any better ideas at the moment. But certainly I don't think you can be a real capitalist and a Social Democrat the same time.

As Americans we got so fucked by Fox News propaganda, that we have new generations growing up thinking they have to be communists if they want nationalized healthcare and affordable groceries, that it's the same thing.

Right wing people believe it, and now some left wing people believe it, and they're thinking they're socialists just because they don't want to go bankrupt due to a health issue... The rest of the fucking western world is not communist, yet they still have free healthcare and take a month or two off a year.

I have been saying for a long time, there's a lot of people here that hate capitalism and think they're communist because they're just suffering a uniquely American version of capitalism, and we'd be so much fucking better off with literally just nationalized healthcare. We just don't want to be terrified all the time, and feel like we're seconds away from death and poverty. This is uniquely an American capitalism and it's usually not this fucking bad.
