current social safety net is broken
To shreds, you say?
I'm fully on board with calling it "safety capitalism" or even "jesus reckoning savior economics" if i get what I want. at this point most of America just tunes out "socialism"
Who comes up with these words? Boomers inventing their own propaganda
safety capitalism has to be the most absurd stand in for socialism or welfare I've ever heard lmao
Really reaching new levels of copium
I wouldnt say stand in for socialism unless they're talking about socilism. It sounds like they're talking about capitalism with social benefits.
Who the hell cares, so long as it leads to some fundamental changes
If it is adopted we can refer to it as babby's first socialism, right before the c-suites are rightfully purged and execs replaced with the workers on the floor
those other words have been coopted by the right so i get it
