Post offices
I know that there's a lot of confusion on the rightwing among people about what "socialism" is. Rightwingers on TV, in media, on twitter, podcasts, here on this site and elsewhere have always sought to deliberately mislead voters about what "socialism" means.
They tell lies like "socialism means you will own nothing"
I'm going to try to help educate you guys as to what "socialism" is IRL
Socialism is very easy to understand in the context of modern, American society just by thinking about post offices and libraries.
Post offices and libraries are socialism. That's it. That's socialism, right there. The government runs the industry and does it not-for-profit. There's no CEO or shareholder at the top of it who is taking a share of the revenue to hoard for himself. All revenue goes toward employees, consumers, public good
You'll note how post office employees all make comfortable, living wages. They all get pensions and can retire after 15 or 20 years. This is what's common among government jobs, as opposed to private sector jobs where employees just get punished and sucked dry, dehumanized and left with nothing so they can never retire.
There's also employee-dignity with government jobs, as it's not easy to be fired from them. There are unions fighting for employees and so forth
So that's all socialism is, actually. It has nothing to do with "you will own nothing". Just as you go to the post office today, and then you go and buy your residential property, and you understand the commercial property and residential property are totally separate things. Such is the case under socialism
So that's all we're trying to accomplish. Nationalize industry so it's not run for the profit of billionaires. So it benefits everyone. We're only trying to make the world a better place not a worse place
