VOTING POLL: Could "SOCIALISM" Ever WORK In The United States?

[SirReginald]

I think Democratic-Socialism could work where everyone gets a fair cut I wanna hear some thoughts from @Darth Humanist @BaggerofTea Basically, businesses can make money and people. We need a bigger middle-class. Also, people deserve better living wages if they are doing full time work, it's only fair

I'm expecting some tags next time democratic socialism comes up. You talking to the person who helped create the labor group that protested at St. John's university.

It worked up until the end of Jim Crow. Then socialism became the devil.

Free college? yes during white supremacy.
Free medical? Sure, for old whites
Free land? Sure for free settlers.
Free mortgages? Sure in exclusively white government housing programs.
The right to unionize? Sure, so long as Jim crow is around...oh wait, the second it ended, Unions became taboo.

So long as the majority receives exclusive benefits to socialist programs, they will want it. The second they see minority populations getting the benefits, they feel it is cheating.

I agree but to some extent. We all know that whites did benefit from socialism back in the late 1880s and early 1900s when thw government created the headright program or something like that and gave each white person money and land. Around 80 million white americans benefit from it today as decendants. Socialism can work to a certain extent but not full on until the system of capitalism collapses.

Yeah I don't see how a country so entrenched in the notion of capitalism or its forefather Calvinism could ever truly embrace socialism for everyone.
