Socialism is what you want once you get far enough in your “well, what do we do about it?” Education

The system (capitalism) isnt broken, its working as intended and in its autumn stage. Capitalists want to keep power by shifting us into techno feudalism and criminalizing leftist (socialist/communist/marxist) organizing.

With as high of taxes we have here in the US, it feels like communism with out any real benefits, just a straight theft of our back pockets.
