I'm not a socialist. I'm a blue dog Democrat.

I'm going to point out what is socialist in our current society in America.

GoFundMe - socialist

Pooling money to build a wall - socialist

Public schools - socialist

Military - socialist

Medicaid - socialist

Social security - socialist

Socialists believe the government should provide basic needs & services like healthcare, education, etc. to citizens.

Democratic socialists don't believe in authoritative governments controlling your every move they believe in voting & the power of the people. They also believe in taking the dark money & corporate bribes/lobbying out of government.
