I am proud to be a ‘socialist.’ Though I have never drawn unemployment compensation, I benefit from Medicare and Social Security and FEMA provides under market rates for the flood insurance on my home. I suggest that everyone who opposes ‘socialism’ refuse to accept these and other ‘socialist’ benefits, including the many corporations that happily accepted massive funds from the federal government during the pandemic. Also, without aggressive pandemic action during the pandemic, the 1% would not have benefited from a 30+% rise in the stock market since pre-pandemic.AND REPUBLICANS ARE LOCK STEP IN OPPOSING ANY REVERSAL OF TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S GIVEAWAYS TO CORPORATIONS AND VERY WEALTHY AMERICANS. Personally I much prefer being a ‘socialist’ than a plutocrat, because then I have no need to be hypocritical.
