    Do utopian socialists and other non-Marxists have no claim whatsoever to the term “socialism”? I don’t care about Vaush specifically, but I wonder if my belief in an abstract moral position that profit, rent, and usury are wrong disqualifies me as a socialist.

    Anyway, this is one reason I avoid actively applying labels to myself. I’d rather talk about only what is true or not true, instead of what words mean.

      Less talk and more practical stuff. Left-leaning people should encourage others to basically meet different people and walk through a variety of neighbourhoods.

      My prediction is that it becomes easier to witness that lives advertised in the media misalign with reality.
