  • That doesn’t make any sense as a statement. It sounds like you can’t force freedom on people, but yeah you can make them free without consent but I don’t get how that makes sense in this context.

    Multiple countries show socialism works perfectly fine for essential and shared services and other things a society needs. It doesn’t work for everything, which is why so many countries are a blend of socialist public stuff like universal healthcare, free education, and those kinds of things whle still having capitalism in the firm of private for profit companies for non-essential stuff like restaurants and clothing stores.

    Note that if the country has socialist in the name it probably isn’t actually socialist in practice.





  • That would help, but it isn’t just the money. Both Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were able to secure offices when they were right around 30 years old and both lacked solid support from their own party. Entrenched political parties are arguably an even bigger barrier to involving younger participation in government, not just because the parties control their own purse strings but because they resist up and coming candidates by treating office holders like they have tenure.
