(360 posts)that equally rewards everyone capitalism? Pretty sure that’s why Bernie calls himself a socialist. Our problem is that we’ve let Republicans define that word in a very negative way. Soviet or Chinese socialism is indeed an awful oppressive and unjust system. But we need to reclaim the shared rewards system of work in a positive manner. Because what people heard from our side was not that people Tha worked the most got rewarded the most, but that everyone regardless of their efforts would be taken care of. Most Americans actually don’t believe in that. They want to decide themselves what the ground rules are, and who receives what. In a capitalist society volunteerism and donating to causes and people creates community, society, and agency to those that do these things.
