[quote=The-Shoveler]I would definitely agree we need to raise the incomes at the lower levels to make up for the last 20 years of suppression but I would not call that Socialism, just a fair wage act, there is a huge difference between the two.[/quote]
Actually, there is not a huge difference. Socialism is based on giving power to the workers — those who create value and capital. Contrary to what people hear from right-wing media, socialism is not about giving money to lazy people…that would be capitalism, as the fruits of productive labor are directed to the capitalists who don’t have to labor for a living. Socialism is, first and foremost, about empowering workers.
