Democratic Socialism Made America Great

It's time to pledge our lives, fortunes and sacred honor to each other — again

The notion that “socialism has never worked” is a flat-Earth-level myth peddled by the same well-heeled grifters who’d sell their own mothers for a tax write-off.

Trump and his Republican enablers like to say their kiss up/kick down policies are “common sense.” In fact, almost everything that actually makes the United States a functional, modern society is rooted in community investment and the common good—a fact that remains stubbornly true no matter how much billionaire mouthpieces say otherwise on their propaganda mills. We’re talking about “democratic socialism”, not the socialism of control.

Republican politicians and commentators deliberately conflate democratic socialism with authoritarian systems like those of Maoist China or the former Soviet Union. They insist any move that expands or strengthens the social safety net is a slippery slope to state tyranny. In reality, American democratic socialists—such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—advocate for a model inspired by the Nordic countries, where capitalism remains robust but regulated in the public interest while government provides universal programs like healthcare, education, and strong worker protections.
