School (60 years ago)taught me that socialism was a collective FOR THE PEOPLE, and that communism used it ( power/money) for the hierarchy . Somewhere along that line it appears people want to confuse masses about the principle. If the whole is not used for the betterment of the whole then the whole is used for the benefit of only a few. Is that not the principle of the matter?
Is there any ‘union’ whose people benefit in totality from the latter objective? Nations gone from Democracy to Imperialism that did well...’top heavy’...
Very few ‘ rich’ have an egalitarian outlook am I correct that our government is supposed to! Were it so -more representation of the underdog, the oversight people, the rules would focus on this...what seems to be the case is that far too many gaining that power do it to get rich and wield ( or yield?) to the hierarchy ...the little guy and women in general bear the lack thereof. Capitalization vs Socialism ...not compatible? A fine line?
I think WE CAN DO BETTER.
And it’s going through these harsh stark difficult times that reveal the tweaking necessary.
NOT throwing out the principle ( baby) with the bath water.
To my mind this current ...what ? ...5-6 year tumult is perfect example border line screaming 🗣️’get your papers in order’ as Schultz would say. Getting our principles in order...if you want to say slavery vs freedom let’s look at whom that directly speaks to ie ‘free white and 21’? ...as another saying goes...second class citizens? Indebtedness?
I won’t even pretend to comprehend the complexity of situations but the principe of matters...ethical ...compassionate...protective...nurturing...I get that.
Thank you for this comment. I learned some things from it.
How ironic it is that those who damn socialism are steering the ship to communism/fascism, and many have no clue as to where this could end up: they’ll be holding the bag without social (socialism) security, Medicare, the freedoms we hold dear.
They’ll see how swell it is to live in a country that doesn’t go LGBTQ, BIPOC, people with disabilities and people who are older. Their gay nephews and mixed race great grandchildren will suffer and be unable to help them. But their cold dead hands will be clinging to their guns and their Bibles; their MAGA hats and other meglonaniabelia.
Unless we all just keep sharing HCR with them. And keep extending grace to them. And keep praying for justice. And keep working to get out the vote. And keep telling folks who slam Biden to hold up and realize how much he has done Re: saving our butts in the Damndemic, ARPA, Manufacturing, Infrastructure, JOBS, wins in congress and locally in 2024, support for Ukraine. YES. He’s faltered on conservation. But damn, he’s quick, knowledgeable, on task, on point, and knows the players and the back stories better than anyone who’s ever held that job. Do I love his take on Israel? No. Nyetenyahoo is a war criminal who needs to stop and needs to be investigated for the incredible slip of October 6&7. How could the Israelis have missed so so so much? Wow.
Pardon the rant and ramble.
Happy New Year, all.
2024 we must move toward the light.
Thank you, HRC, for keeping the way lighted by truth.
