Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Meta's biggest source of Canadian advertising dollars this year is the Epoch Times. An organization Meta said it had banned from advertising. Great scoop by @rorywh.bsky.social
Meta banned the Epoch Times from advertising. Then it accepted $300k in new ads targeting Canadians
In the past 12 months, The Epoch Times has spent over $300,000 on Facebook and Instagram ads promoting political surveys to collect the emails of Canadians using a series of anonymous pages.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

DOGE isn't just cutting vital government services.
Each federal job loss could also result in the loss of at least one additional worker in the private sector.
Working people having less money in their pockets to spend stifles local economies.
What’s “efficient” about that?
