High inflation hurts the working class, and so does unfettered illegal immigration. Biden’s and the Democrats’ policies have made both worse. And halting all the gas production and driving up gas prices? That’s a big help too.
And to you, helping the working class means getting other people to pay their loans. College grads need to buckle up and pay off their own debt.
And Obamacare? That helped low-income, but it killed the working class. A married couple earning $70,000 in a big city saw their premiums skyrocket to $2000 a month for a deductible of $75,000 so a part-time worker could get a great plan for $30 a month.
Nope, the Democrats serve the interests of the poor who won’t work or train for a job, while putting the onus on the working class.
The high inflation that we have now is mostly due to corporate greed i.e. price gouging. The government could eliminate this type of inflation overnight with reasonable price controls and then invest heavily in infrastructural projects that employ millions of Americans and increase our nation's productive capacity (GDP). That's the leftist solution to the form of inflation we have now.
Republicans have no problem pouring trillions into the coffers of "too-big-to-fail" corporations, bailing them out from their bad investments and business practices while bitching about bailing out the working class in the middle of a nationwide, deadly pandemic or canceling our children's student debt (bailing out the multi-billionaires is OK, but not our future/our children). Republicans are experts at privatizing profits and burdening the public with the losses, bailing out their rich buddies with public funds (socialism for the rich and pick yourself up by your bootstraps capitalism for everyone else).
True leftists i.e. Marxists, would actually, unlike Trump and the Republicans, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. America would be energy independent, relying initially on fossil fuels until we transition to clean energy, in the form of safe and abundant nuclear power. We would have hundreds of plants, both large and micro-SFRs, throughout the country, providing us with more electricity than we will ever need or even know what to do with. When we have that, we can easily move away from gas-powered vehicles to electric. We can't do that now, because we don't have enough electricity and it would create more pollution, but we can if we depend upon nuclear energy.
Public colleges and vocational schools should be tuition-free because education is a human right. Anything we can do to ensure Americans are well-educated and skilled has an extremely high return on our investment. We as a society, get at least a 1000-fold return when we invest in people's education and vocational training.
Healthcare should also be a human right. Everyone should be covered by Medicare, not just the elderly.
Food, housing, healthcare, education, and employment in the public sector, should be a human right in every modern, civilized society. Actual leftists create a social safety net and a supportive infrastructure for people to build a good life for themselves and their families. If it wasn't for American leftists, most of the elderly forum members here defending right-wing policies wouldn't have Social Security, Medicare, and many other benefits which ensure they're not sleeping in a cardboard box behind the Bingo Hall.
Marxists are strict against illegal immigration and we consider drug dealing a capital crime. Drug dealers and their mules, would be put in front of a firing squad and addicts would be forced into rehab. We would clear our streets of all of the crime and homelessness. That's American socialism.
"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary" Karl Marx
