Socialism: A Tainted Name The Left Can't Let Go Of...
Socialism, A Tainted Name, A Failed Brand,
For Gods sakes, can we move on...
If the next civil war is to occur in America 🇺🇸 it will be the fault of the Liberal Progressive Movement's inability to compromise with Centrists who are holding the nation together by their fingernails, with no help whatsoever from the Progressive-Left or Radical-Right.
The profound fight for principles, ethics, human-decency and corruption must be laid to rest when a war against democracy and the country's very existence is raging.
You must first fight the war you know you can win.
The war against the radicals of both sides first. The ones who wish to destroy instead of restore. Tear down, instead of lift up. kill instead of love.
But fear not: For in the defeat of the radicals you will obtain all of your goals.

In this age of Fundamentalisms
can we borrow this word and apply it to a more
philosophically palatable ethos other than Socialism?
Let's call this: Democratic Fundamentalism

Shall will not bother talking about the Neo-Confederate-Right-Wing-Christian-Q-anons? Thank you.
What I wish for you to look at is the Far-Left Progressive, Pro Socialist and Self Proclaimed Communist factions who have been fueling the flames of paranoia, hatred, bigotry and contempt of the Right since Socialism's first efforts here in the States by Eugene Debbs and the American Socialist Party riots and bombings on American soil during the 1920’s and beyond.
Socialism: Is an Archaic, Infertile Dream of Utopic thought.
Socialism in it purist form has failed time and again within the experiment of human nature and it's application to the governance of a people.
Mere variants of Socialism: Socialized Medicine, Economics, etc., are present through many countries. But only just.
So why not call these variants what they truly are: Democratic Fundamentalism: 'For The People and by the People?'
Socialism cannot exist within its own vacuum while applied to a nation who's status rests of the laurels of Capitalism. It is a philosophical oxymoron.
The only countries, who exist in any extended time pale in comparison to population, national gdp, and the geo-political practice of economic and military assistance.
American socialism… The continued pursuit in using the word, no matter
in any form or practice, is a doomed exercise in political foley.
A failed brand-name equal to the once archaic term: ‘Feudalism’ (which
by the way is very much alive in ‘Neo-Oligarcharcal-Capitalism, yet
surges wirhin its legitimacy avoiding the use of Feudalism as a
platform and risking its condemnation).
It doesn’t matter what kind of Socialism works in Belgium or Sweden.
What matters is the perception of ‘Socialism’ of any form in America,
and the immense political mountain any Democratic Socialist must climb,
to sell upon their constituents, using such a tainted brand name to the
majority of the American people.
From Eugene Debbs to the American Socialist party riots and bombings on American soil from the 1920’s thru the early 1970s, however sanctioned or unsanctioned, is irrelevant. The word Socialism was in the public’s eye. Enduring solidarity extended to Socialist comrades such as Che Guiverra, Fidel Castro, El Salvadorian and Columbian Socialist rebel leaders, Soviet Russian Liaisons
Why use a brand name so reviled by Americans, when one visionary who wishes to embrace the similar mathematics of Socialism and use the principles under a new and palatable brand name?... Democratic Fundamentalism !
It is the eternal naïveté progressive moralists retain as they continue to hinder and defeat their own progressive gains, as they repeatedly refuse to embrace the linear pragmatic conservative minds and understand that they will never drink the medicine as long as they see a tainted hated brand name on the bottle.

Never had so much empathy and dedication to a concept so moral and ethical has been defeated even defiled as much as Socialism.
Abolish the word. Retire the word which carries so many variations and so misinterpreted.

Be original, allow your empathy to guide the genesis of a new philosophy and title. It is time to create a bridge between the stagnated
Democratic process that has gown itself a bottomless void which leads to the cursed word of
Socialism.
If you would like to go to the basics of Socialism_
Most of you will now think of Karl Marx at this moment and you couldn't be further from the truth. This is ancient philosophy, ancient socio-anthropology.
Something that Mr Marx came upon in 1848 in his education and furthered it's equation into a anti-spiritual, anti-individualistic course of human development.
The United States was not yet 100 years old yet and Mr. Marx thought that Socialism would be the answer to the imperial/oligarchies of Europe and Britain and hoped the States would see things his way. Unfortunately, Democratic Fundamentalism has been far more successful and lasting within geo-political applications.
Taking what one individual achieves and striping it's exclusive moment of a human's gift to the world, the sweat, the inspiration, dashed to retain the exclusive hold of the many who serve the state and it's socialistic ethos.
The
building of a societies infrastructure for a village to benefit,
procure and prosper, does not translate into a right for the village to
take what individuals grow, create, discover or enhance to fill
The one greatest difference between the ideal of a socialist/collective and a collective/obligation is:
The villagers who paved these roads, forced the streams and built these shelters of the Village are not obligated to submit what they produce a s individuals to a community pot for all to benefit.
For their
obligations have been met when it was time to down a community who
wished to share in a common area to pursue each individuals dream of
freedom and success in life.
The socialistic/collective within Marx's mind was the obligation of all citizens to go far beyond the formation of ones society, but to continue to share in equal, all they produce as human beings on earth, so that no other individual within the village has no more or no less that ones neighbor.

It is the same world we live today, with fire departments, police, libraries, lifeguards, EMTs', and so much more.
From the days when fire departments drove to the wealthy side of San Fransisco during the great earthquake of and exclusively doused the flames of mansions and left the commoners to burn. Libraries have been built for all, Lifeguards are public servants and are ordered to pull anyone from the water, no mater their economic standing, county hospitals who will treat ER patients with or without insurance or citizenship, and so much more.
We have progressed considerably. Aside the exceptions of various religions, tribes and cultures who wish to remain within their ancient form of practice.
It is the collective obligation of humankind to ensure the peace and to embolden ethical and moral deeds which protect the worlds civilizations from the darkness. Unim Orbus Unim Veritas
