Cali state govt is socialist as fuck

Wait Californians democratically own and manage the means of production? Holy shit.

Oh you mean a liberal state that has slightly higher taxes :(

No, you silly head, I'm talking about the people who work for the state. I'm not talking about the state itself.

Fucks sake, pay attention.

How are the people who work for the state socialist in practice? They work for a capitalist state.

Also are you claiming the state(as in the government and associated entities) is distinct from the employees that make up the state government? How?

Uh, it's hard to explain and I definitely was not using the correct words. I don't know what I was saying, I had a point but I did not use the right words at all.
