In Luxembourg the average state pension for 40 years of contributions is nearly 4x higher than in the U.K. Far from being unaffordable the UK State pension is a joke, what is unaffordable is the tax evasion which leaves us with so little money to spend.

USA minimum wage $7.25 per hour & AVERAGE restaurant BURGER (no side or drink) = $14 Assuming an 8 hour workday: the worker has to work 25% of his day for PART (not even all) of his lunch. I'd call that SLAVERY.

Socialism built the only things that actually work in the USA. The problem is you have hardly any of it. Corporations buying the Government because they are rich enough to, and the Government stealing everything it can isn't 'Socialism' of any time. It's just far too much Capitalism.

Capitalism didn't invent markets. It made people dependent on them to survive.

How Should Socialists Relate to the Market?
Bourgeois economics treats capitalism as simply a market economy. Vivek Chibber traces how markets and private ownership worked under feudalism and under capitalism, and argues that socialism could use markets without restoring class society.

more than 60 years as a “centrist activist”, and the surest sign of their success is that we’ve blown past the climate tipping point, everything else has gotten worse and the overton window has veered wildly to the right. another triumph for the ideology of “better things are not possible”

But your average westerner 'educated' on socialism will, at most, concede that's a bit overstated, and spend not a mote more of mental energy on figuring: well, if they'll lie to me about something THIS blatantly absurd, how much more must they be lying to me?

"Nonfalsifiable orthodoxy" sums it up well. Engaging with Americans propagandized against socialism is futile. Every point has some innate counter they pull from their butts without hesitation. The fact it bears no resemblance to reality doesn't matter.
