35. A Social Safety Net

Tue Jan 28, 2025, 02:32 PM

Tuesday

A social safety net in a mixed capitalist economy is not Marxism. The Trump Regime calling public assistance Marxism is pure propaganda. We need to counter that propaganda in the media and online. A dissertation on Marxism is not an effective counter argument. We simply need to say " No, public assistance is not Marxism. Calling it Marxism is a lie. It is Fascist propaganda." Which is both true and accurate.
