I'm not buying your strawman argument. I don't appreciate your mischaracterizations. What I said was that many people are selfish and act in their own interest. However, I believe most people are inherently good and are often victims of their environment. That's why I support socialism - it is a system that aims to address the root causes of inequality and promote the common good.
My point was that the American experiment in self-governance is an ideal we’re always reaching for. So despite our ancestors’ failure to deliver luxury gay space communism to one and all (or to prevent the destruction of the biosphere, or to protect the fairness of the vote . . . well, a lot of things, really) we still have a role to play in yrying to make it better.
My point is everyone working within the structures that exist to bring equity and justice doesn’t mean they’re all corporate genocidal shitweaels as is so often implied by “socialists” who are not part of that effort. Maybe they’re just regular people.
