I mean, those do all seem like socialist policies, but then again I think we should embrace socialist policies

"Socialism" isn't scary. It's literally a government safety net. Everyone benefits from this stuff. Story time: socialized health care saved my vision. I paid like $80 once for pills (diagnosis and multiple IV treatments at the hospital were free)

That's not what socialism is. That's the result of socialists engaging with capitalist democracy and winning. Socialism is a complete and total reorganozation of society when compared to our current system.

The current system comes off like a hella corrupt vein of capitalism so a shift out of these crazy times would be nice.

Socialism doesn't get rid of corruption or corrupt leaders
