READ THE PLAYLIST DESCRIPTION FIRST PLEASE "Democratic Socialists": Can we have a system like Scandinavia, Australia, and Canada. Conservatives: Well actually that's not socialism. That's free market capitalism with a functional welfare system and proper state intervention on gaps between the classes. "Democratic Socialists": Cool. We know. Can we have free market capitalism with a functional welfare system and proper state intervention on gaps between the classes? Conservatives: No, that's socialism. That's how dumb those Conservatives are. I'm Canadian and I say the U.S needs Democratic Socialism. Also, Socialism already exists in America but only corporations benefit. In the late stage captalism United-States of America, you now see rampant extreme poverty, endless food lines, and since parents can't provide for themselves and their family & feed their kids on only one job, they have to get two or three jobs and work over 60 hours a week to attempt to make ends meet so the kids are raised by daycare workers and television & don't get to see their parents (and you wonder why kids grow up to be messed up adults; drug addicts, alcoholics, criminals, people with mental health problems, etc). Conservatives turn a blind eye to the ravage & destruction caused by the rotten and failed extreme capitalist system, especially late stage capitalism. They spread the lie that Democratic Socialism is communism but that's a lie & you find out that it is a big lie if you stop listening only to the anti-socialists and start listening to what the other side has to say instead of locking yourself up in an echo chamber and when you see the ravage and destruction caused to the disabled and the poorest of the poor by the late stage capitalism going on in America today. MLK Jr. was maligned when he had his poor people's campaign, & today people are still maligned for doing something for the least of these as Jesus called them. Conservatives can't accept the fact that a lot of people (especially children and adults who have always been at a disadvantage, who were never given fair and equal opportunity in life, who have been told to pull themselves up by their boot straps, and denied food for being unable to work or denied health care because of "pre-existing conditions") are drawn to Democratic Socialism because Capitalism, especially late stage Capitalism, has failed them and only benefit the uber rich and the 1%. Those Conservatives are against socialism for the poor but they contantly push for socialism for the rich in the form of giant corporate welfare checks and giant tax cut breaks), they're only against socialism for the poor, they're against this only when it's the poor who get something. They don't want the poor to be getting anything. They make false claims like equating Democratic Socialism with Communism, or they spew false accusations of "Communism" and "commie" every time the government does anything at all to help the least of these as Jesus called them. They're even against free school lunches for children in poverty, even though those free school lunches help kids to succeeed in school so they can get jobs later in life and work instead of ending up on welfare. Conservatives want to have their cakes and eat it too. They want less people on welfare, but they don't want to give free food/fuel to children in poverty so they can succeed in school and get jobs and climb out of the pit of poverty. They also complain about the abortion rate, but they're against free/government-funded birth control, so that even the poor and teens/minors who can't afford birth control have access to contraceptives easily and free of charge. If the government has money for wars and bombs, they have money for free school lunches for children in poverty and free contraceptives for all. They say "How are you going to pay for all that free stuff?" only when it's free meals and free contraceptives and things that benefit the poor, they never ask that stupid question when it comes to endless wars based on lies or giving the billionaires giant corporate welfare checks and cut breaks. The poverty rate and abortion rate would decrease when you have free meals and free contraceptive programs in place. They mass distributed free condoms and free pills in a town once and the study said it decreased the abortion rate by 62% just in this one town. Yet Conservatives still aren't fucking happy or satisfied. Conservatives are speaking from both sides of their mouths, they undermine abortion reduction, they want to ban sex education, they don't want poor children to get any food. The Left is not by any means perfect, but unlike the right they hold their radicals and extremists accountable, they're doing more for the poor and disabled than the Right does, they're against income inequality (and remember that crime thrives due to income inequality), they don't undermine abortion reduction, and they care about the environment/the planet.
