    It might be a bit of a surprise but many modest income people work dang hard here & abroad.

    Manuel laborers work so hard & make sh#t.

    Also some of the countries working the longest & hardest hours are modest income.

    Like Poland, Mexico, Greece, Russia, etc.
    You say it is "bullshit" because, well, obviously, you are waiting for handouts. Work Jr. Get ahead.

    the rest of this mumbo jumbo is unclear

    *another millennial idiot socialist* must be something in the water!
    Mao was an extreme Socialist.
    I specifically said extreme Socialism like extreme Capitalism are inferior.

    China still is medium Socialist.

    They still have a ton of government companies & government regulations & government interference of the free market.

    Economies are collectives.
    Why Individualists don't get it.

    Toilet cleaners in America make more money than doctors in Somalia.

    There's only so much an individual can do in a collective failure.

    We are increasingly becoming a collective failure due to Capitalist greed.


    PS.
    I worked one of the hardest jobs physically for 4 years.

    Doing back breaking labor lifting 50 pound bags 6- 11 hours a day.

    At an Animal feed store.

    I made minimum wage.

    Now I'm going to college so I can make more than poverty & not have to work so hard.

    That kind of work is good for your health. And you did not have to pay to go to gym to do it. So, ah, you are going to college to be a bigger part of the great capitalist system in this country. How do you reconcile that with your stance for socialism?

    Are
    Much more likely to cause chaos & civil war here.
    There won't be a civil war here. People's lives are too good. War is hardship. and people these days freak out if they don't have power or Internet service for a couple of days.

    I never said I'm fully anti- Capitalist nor fully Socialist.

    I support the hybrid system.

    No social program in this country would exist without the tax dollars brought in by capitalism.

    Socialism equates to control over the economy, not necessarily social programs.

    Yes, I do support some socialism.

    I think we should step in to stop & revoke the charters & confiscate businesses of those who hire Illegal immigrants & outsource jobs.

    We should also limit but not eliminate automation.
    A quota should be levied on robots replacing Humans.

    We should also better regulate land use for better environmentalist concerns & regulate pollution.

    I also believe in trust busting Amazon & Walmart.

    But, I also do support social programs, particularly national healthcare.

    As for welfare I think the Feds should use work abled recipients for public works & im farms to replace illegals.

    Kind of like Clinton,s welfare reform.
    But more extreme.

    So are some Dems too.
    Extremely few, though.

    Catholics aren't treated that well here.

    Catholic Priests mocked as pedos, Catholic Italians called mafiosos, Catholic Poles called dumb Polak, Catholic French mocked as cowards.
    Catholic Latinos mocked too.

    the lower class in our country lives better than the upper class and most of the world. And extremists don't really do anything.

    It doesn't matter who disagrees, and Charlottesville was nothing.

    Charottesville riots are not unlike the Wakarusa war which helped bring on the American civil war.

    PS.
    You seem to mistake wealth with greatness.

    Wealth only has a limited role in happiness.

    America has many issues too.

    The USA has its issues too.
    Lik
    Homelessness, drug abuse, single mothers, gangs & a high rate of crime, murder & mass murder & war mongering.
