5. I'm not even an actual socialist. I would prefer a blended economy

Dec 2014

with guaranteed living wage, paid time off, single payer healthcare, and guaranteed education for those who want it. Of course that puts me far to the left of anyone in the ruling class, all of whom would call me a socialist. But I don't want the fed making cars or computers or the bread I make my sandwiches out of. Welcome!
