This is the part in a movie where one of the good-guy mooks shouts, “They just keep coming at us!” (generally during a zombie invasion or some shit)

“Socialized medicine” is a Reaganite term and I hate it.

I think you both missed the “socialized medicine for me, fuck you for thee”

the point is that the government merely offering health insurance isn’t socialized medicine. it’s just public health insurance. it’s not even socialized healthcare if the government provided the healthcare too. socialism is about who controls the government. while it’s in bourgeois hands, it’s not socialized.

this matters because there’s a liberal push to water down what socialism means so they can offer tepid social democracy, call it socialism, and remove the teeth from the groundswell of leftist popularity.

(offer… not grant… there won’t be any concessions until the threat of revolution weighs on everyone’s minds)

Socialism is when the government does stuff.jpg

(It’s not socialism when the bourgeoisie is still running the show 😉. You’re mistaking socialism for social democracy, the left wing of fascism.)

  • making a sarcastic remark and not looking for some astute political insight…but thank you.

(bonus 👍 for using bourgeois properly in a sentence, hope that gets you laid)

The A Song of Ice and Fire novels are still better though, even after that scene (I literally burst out laughing when I first saw it).
