    I understand the benefits and opportunities of pure socialism. I asked your opinion about the current system because I’m aware of the international implications of dismantling our economy in favor of a new one. We are heavily reliant on imports and exports, and I don’t think you’ve really considered what life would be like after the US Dollar deflates from said upset. Unless you want to start eating dent corn, you may want to rethink your ideas as transitional steps toward a common goal.

      I’m not advocating for a complete dismantling of the economy, nor am I suggesting that we do not trade with other countries, but instead, I’m advocating for forcing any company who has more than x number of employees to be a worker-owned co-op, Richard Wolff-style.

      I am not against social democracy, and I do think that it is a step in the right direction, but I do think that we, as a society, should go that one step further to prevent the regression back to pure capitalism, since social democracy leaves that door open.
