I hate socdem parties and their members being called socialist. There is nothing socialist about reforming capitalism.

    A reform that faces backlash and, by the force of collective movements, overcomes backlash and capitalist resistance, is a form of revolution. I think such movements may lead to socialism, or other things (better or worse).

    Edit: who is downvoting me speak your mind, im curious... I know what i said doesnt sound like most leninist discourse, but in practice im not sure how they differ.

    reminder argentina has had this and also universal public education for decades even through even more decades of IMF debt trap/economic imperialism. argentina and mexico can do it, but y'all from the us have to pay with your life for access to such things

    Trust me, literally no one from the US needs a reminder that our health care system sucks. We think about that all the time.

    Trust me, literally no one from the US needs a reminder that our health care system sucks. We think about that [every four years or when we personally need it]

    Then go and vote for better politicians. Talk to those who don’t. Try to reason, get them to understand.

    I live in one of the bluest states; I actually like our politicians well enough. My district's house rep in particular has been consistently on the right side of every important vote I've checked up on. As a result, though, I don't exactly have a lot of contact with the crazier part of the population.

    Which is a basic minimum in all developed countries except the United States.

    This is not even radical but is labeled socialist in the usa

    you should know that even if there is access to healthcare right now we don't have medicines and getting any real help from the system will take you weeks or months for anything beyond a cold (and again, they won't have any meds, and if you need surgery you will be asked to provide blood donors and meds)

    all that will be cheaper even on private hospitals when compared to US prices

    no but you see she is a self called leftlist so we can't critic her /s

    it's really weird how leftist here will believe anything that sides with their narrative but willfully ignore how people living here in México are suffering

    The point is that its important to start somewhere. You don't have to end where you start.

    you see the thing is we are worse than we started with the current political party in power

    that's like saying trump is good because he has to start somewhere instead of acknowledging the damage his decisions and cabinet have caused

    Not at all the same.

    We need a cultural shift to the left. Part of that is going to be soc dem to get people a taste of what they are missing.

    Too many people on Lemmy let perfect be the enemy of good.

    This isn't about healing anyone, its about collecting private medical information on the population, and accidentally giving it to Billionaire's bent on stopping over-populations, and on long-term population control.
