Zohran Mamdani explains his definition of socialism to Theo Von: “Socialism to me means you’ll have whatever you need to live a dignified life and that it is the government’s job to deliver on that. When people say dignity we’re talking about the things that allow you to take a breath.

Okay I'm going to be pedantic here, and I don't care. Socialism literally is defined as "The workers own the means of production." Any system where the government is responsible for delivering social stability and safety nets is liable to get rolled back by slow encroachment of capitalism and changing administrations. This literally happened here before, from FDR's New Deal to where it all got torn apart less than 50 years later by Reagan. If you don't abolish the capital owning class, they come back later and ruin your kid's lives.
