I'd rather live in a small, no frills apartment with only the most basic of rent prices to help cover repairs in a socialist economy over being homeless in a capitalist one.

I guess. Although I know heaps of beggers who make a killing.

Easy 2 grand a week.

If you know how to game, by God you can make a killing.

Now that said to live with yourself you do need to have a bit of a habit, so they are paying a good 50% of that into the smack tax.

I'll say again and again heroin addicts are the hardest working people in a capitalist society. Never stop workin it....

This is why most reactionaries desperately cling to the idea that what they’re experiencing is secretly socialism. They literally do the joke “socialism is when bad thing happens” to circle the square.

"But with socialized medicine there will be government death panels deciding who does or doesn't get life saving care."

We literally have corporate death panels at insurance companies deciding who does or doesn't get life saving care. Hell, most of the time its not even a panel. Its one sleazy sadistic doctor who is paid lots of money to deny everything he can.

Under socialism, you will live next to a first generation immigrant from a country full of brown people, you will eat their food, experience their culture, and work side by side in pursuit of a better life.

And you will like it.

Under socialism, your video games WILL be woke, chuds.

And those that haven't, have been thrown onto the shoulders of the global south for them to suffer and be robbed. Capitalism has never worked.
