to Stalin's Russia or Castro's Cuba. Like all things in life there are adaptions and names may stay the same but behaviors change. It's quite evident the Democratic Socialist are not advocating for government rule of business and personal property. Let's start there on the same premise of facts. They are not advocating for government handouts for primary sources to live. The closest example of that is the Trump admin handing out millions and millions of dollars to farmers not once but twice. That's because Trump is a populist that rides the coattails of Republicans.

The DS are not directly against Capitalism either. Based on my research they are party for the working person who wants to afford life, they are anti-Israel and against people like Elon Musk who is now a trillionaire.

A sense that there is an elite that is getting richer fast and screwing the little guy.

It's not wrong.

I mean just look at history or look around at the various societies that exist in 2026.

But even if you look at the most egalitarian species in nature like ants or bees, a hierarchy exists because it has to for the survival of the species.

The challenge social scientists and such should be focused on is how to raise the minimum standard of living while not suppressing human innovation and prosperity.

The DSA plan is deeply flawed and will only result in disaster. But I am sympathetic to their position, however divorced from human nature reality that it is.

Getting richer using means and connections that the "little guy" don't have access to.
