i don’t know if i’m a socialist or whatever all i know is that i just want trans and gay people to be able to live their lives, women to not have men make decisions about their bodies, borders to be abolished, people to not want the earth to burn up, and to ducking just care about conserving endangered species.
bonus points for elected officials to behave like fucking grown ass adults for once.
Not necessarily. Those things can be fixed without instituting socialism (if they’re fixable. That’s not a given) and may even be done better without it based on socialism’s real record!
That’s a progressive outlook, but not a Socialist one, primarily because nothing you said has anything directly to do with Modes of Production.
A Socialist is someone who wants the Means of Production to be collectively shared, rather than privately owned. There are many forms of it, like Syndicalism, Anarchism, Marxism, Market Socialism, etc.
I dont think anything you said would qualify you as a “socialist”
I think the abolition of borders falls under the umbrella of socialism
Counterpoint: If you ask most elected officials edit: in the US (of either party), any two of those as policy goals would make you a socialist.
So by your example, a socialist is someone who’s not a dick? I can get behind that 😁.
