socialistexan:politicalsci:centrist/conservative neoliberal logic: if you support policies like universal healthcare, raising the minimum wage, and ending tax loopholes that benefit the 1% then you must take a vow to live in a cave and stop participating in society, otherwise you’re a hypocrite. advocating for people less privileged than you and for policies that will potentially raise your own taxes is wrong.but if you’re a neoliberal centrist/conservative and don’t support policies to end inequality and want to maintain an unjust economic system that punishes women, poc, and the most vulnerable in society then you somehow have the moral high ground over people who actually want to change the status quo.The misunderstanding of socialism isn’t that no one should have nice things, it’s that everyone the world over should have nice things, even people that don’t “generate value”Bernie’s not the revolutionary he claims to be, but even run of the mill social democrats understand that. -- source link
