What does "abolish profit" mean?

138. There is no good answer

Other than be aware of the risks and be ready to get ahead of the narrative with the swing voters if matters with.

Yeah, they always call us socialists. Just like we always call them racists.

But when someone is on the ticket that actually embraces that title, well that allows each side who does the name calling to scream “see, we were right!”.

I think what is different is how the parties react. Here in NC an out and out racist won the GOP primary for a State House race. Now it’s a very safe D district and any Republican stands zero chance of winning, but there will be an out an out racist on the ballot with an R by his name.

The reaction of the state GOP was a swift condemnation of him and a declaration that they do not endorse or support him and will provide him with zero resources because he doesn’t fit the values they want as a candidate. Now was it all really just damage control after seeing that they ignored a race and got an embarrassment who won? Sure. But they reacted in a way to distance themselves.

But when self-described socialists win Democratic primaries as a rule we embrace them, support them, and in some cases even call them the new face or future of the party. And in doing that we are accepting that such beliefs have a place in the party. And maybe that’s the right way to go, but we need to be able to articulate it and defend it if so.

And with so many Democrats who don’t even actually understand the basic concepts of what Socialism actually is and what the core beliefs of socialism are, we are unprepared to do that.
