“What would it be like to live in a world without Capitalism?” a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) leader asks, before describing her party’s vision of creating a workers’ paradise – where people don’t have to work, because they don’t have bills, and are free to do whatever they like.
In an hour-long video laying out DSA’s “Workers Deserve More” program launch published Wednesday, DSA’s National Political Education Chair Michaela Brangan portrays Democratic Socialism as the author of a worry-free society that enables people to do as they please:
“What would it be like to live in a world without Capitalism - to live in a world where you can take a day off and you don’t hate your job and you don’t feel like, if you quit it, or, like, wanted to do something else, that you would starve to death or get kicked out of your home or not be able to pay for your medicine?”
What’s more, without Capitalism, “bills are no longer a thing,” so people would be free to take time off from work whenever they want to, Brangan claims:
“You're able to take a day off and not have to worry.
“And you don't have to have a job just to pay the bills, because you don't have a lot of bills, right?
“Bills are no longer a thing - because there's not for-profit businesses that are constantly trying to exploit you and trying to, you know, put you into debt.”
“And then you might just have like a normal day, right, like you could you could actually have the freedom to move around,” Brangan says.
Brangan claims, without evidence, that Socialism provides “freedom,” enabling people to “flourish,” “thrive,” and “be themselves,” because their basic needs are provided for by others:
“And so, part of what we’re trying to do is to dispel the idea that Socialism is just about, like, bureaucracy, meetings, order, or anything like that. It actually is about freedom. It is about people being free to be themselves.
“It’s about people being able to actually flourish under a system where they’re not constantly being exploited and where they’re not constantly worried about the basic things it takes to live.
“If you don’t have to worry about the basic things it takes to live, then you can thrive, right? And then you can actually lead your life, instead of just survive.”

This “anti-parasite” decree codified a Khrushchev-era drive to treat able-bodied non-workers as a social danger. Cast as enforcement of the constitutional duty to labor, it targeted people who “avoided socially useful work” while living on “unearned income,” including rent from housing or profits from private assets, and it reached those who held nominal jobs while running side businesses.
The main penalty was administrative banishment for two to five years to designated localities, with compulsory work and confiscation. It also “popularized” justice by inviting workplace collectives to issue a “sentence of the public,” and made decisions final without appeal.

Stupid is supposed to hurt.
Sounds like Pelosi. Once we pass obamacare you can be an artist or something because you won’t need a job.
Fairies dancing in the woods?
“What would it be like to live in a world without Capitalism?
Watch “The Killing Fields”.
Well sure - everyone would be starving to death. No bills to pay if everyone is dying or dead.
The all knowing younger generation knows all about it.
First of all, food comes from supermarkets or can be delivered to you door thanks to online ordering.
Electric power comes from the wall, just plug into a socket. Or use batteries.
And as for cooking, just have mom yell toward your game room when dinner is ready.
Per the old joke in the Soviet Union: “we pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us”
Who keeps the electricity, water purification plants, etc., running?

With socialism, you wait for bread.
With capitalism, bread waits for you.
That should pretty much answer the question.
My God he’s a moron, but he’s the victim of brainwashing in college, you send your kids to college and they come out like THAT..believing THAT..Ok so more more bills, so whats the point of working..you work to pay off the bills right, so if you dont have bills why work? And no mortgage, so does that mean your house which is supposedly on stolen land is now ours? And no rent has to be paid, no more landlords, so how does that work? And since you dont have bills does that mean you get to go into stores and just take whatever you want without paying for it?
RE: You don’t have to have a job just to pay the bills.
And you don’t have to be crazy to be a socialist/communist but it helps.
This isn’t The Bee?
