So this morning, as I was pouring some radical liberal almond milk onto my radical liberal Cheerios

I was thinking to my radical liberal self, "Gee, Socialism is great, but it can sure be better."

Yeah, sure, it's not like I want to be living in a replica of Versailles, with my own private Bombardier jet and plenty of opportunities to wrangle some insider trading, because I'm married to the owner of the NYSE and can hold off a criminal investigation by the DoJ with simply paying a million bucks to the RNC, but I've got a pretty good life as it is and I do think that it can be better for all of us.

Yes, I'm grateful for my radical liberal socialist military pension, Social Security, and for Medicare and the VA healthcare keeps me and wifey with a roof over our heads, food in our bellies, the lights on and the ability to have a retirement without needing to live out of a cardboard box. Same goes for some of my other relatives, including those who have UAW pension plans as well. Due to various subsidies and taxes, we have clean water and drivable roads, a public education system and emergency services.

This sure beats needing to be trickled down upon from government subsidized billionaires with blank expressions, wispy hair and limited vocabularies.

But, in spite of that, we could all stand to suffer under way more radical liberal socialism than we already are, it's only fair. As a radical liberal Black Power socialist, I would also love to see the otherwise socialism infused police departments around the country tamp down their penchant for gunplay. Dem bullets ain't good for our health, especially since they're suspiciously attracted to melanin. So, I'm all for ending the drug war, private prisons, civil asset forfeiture and qualified immunity, while mandating nationwide liability coverage as an employment condition for cops. Let's see how long bad risks stay employed, if they can't pay their jacked up premiums.

And what self-respecting radical liberal socialist wouldn't mind seeing the upper marginal tax rate get boosted back up to 91%, as it was under that radical liberal socialist commie-loving president, Dwight Eisenhower? Not to mention the capitalist corporate taxes, as well.

There's a whole lot that we fellow radical liberal socialists can do to fundamentally change America to a more egalitarian, inclusive, productive, and secure society. A society where no one needs to go bankrupt from having an education or needing healthcare. Where homelessness can be eliminated and workplaces both safe and providing good, livable wages. Pay your fair share, guys.

That's my radical liberal socialist dream... A nightmare for government subsidized out capitalist billionaire overlords with blank expressions, wispy hair and limited vocabularies, apparently. Especially since they all expect the rest of us radical liberal socialists to lick the heels of their Louboutins and be grateful for the privilege.

3. I could not agree more, my dear MrScorpio!

Your plan sounds like a great way to create opportunities for people who haven't had many, or any.

Thank you!

7. I kneecap their cash flow

but it's been a steep learning curve, and lot of reading not to mention work, and I live a bit behind the tech curve. But as long as my numbers improve more than theirs, percentage wise, I'm not complaining. It's been like the Great Depression all along because that's what I was taught.

8. Ditch the almond milk: why everything you know about sustainable eating is probably wrong

Influenced by clean eating and agri-exposés such as Cowspiracy (whichpointed to methane emissions from cattle as crucial in global warming), many are ditching cows’ milk in favour of non-dairy alternatives, which, according to Euromonitor, now make-up 12% of global milk sales.

That sounds positive. Pre-shipping, the carbon created by a litre of semi-skimmed (1.67kg) is far higher than that of almond milk (360g). “But what people don’t know is the environmental damage almond plantations are doing in California, and the water cost. It takes a bonkers 1,611 US gallons (6,098 litres) to produce 1 litre of almond milk,” says the Sustainable Restaurant Association’s Pete Hemingway.

Over 80% of the world’s almonds are grown in California, which has been in severe drought for most of this decade. Hemingway describes a situation in which farmers are ripping up relatively biodiverse citrus groves to feed rocketing demand for almonds, creating a monoculture fed by increasingly deep water wells that threaten statewide subsidence issues. That leaves rather a bad taste in the mouth.

Hopefully the Wall Street trade in California water futures will put a stop to the frivolous use of water to produce almond milk.

11. Almond milk is for Dino's

Real radical liberals drink oat milk

12. I've never heard of oat milk.

I should be sent to a reeducation camp.

My bathroom is radical liberal-socialist. Every time I use the toilet I support workers soviets:
