Part 4: "A socialist day off could be like any good day now."


"...what if you were free to spend your time how you like without worrying about cost or dreading going back to work? What if you didn’t have to think about paying rent or loans at the end of the month, or saving for college, or affording groceries?" - DSA https://program.dsausa.org/


The first "what-if" has already been debunked in Part 3. All suggestions in this manifesto have cost, therefore, debt.


You're still working for a living, and still have costs/debts on your "free day," so what, exactly, removes the "dread [of] going back to work?" Simply by avoiding mention of it, magically, it's gone? Well, there's another clue that settles the score on socialism: expectation of magic to make life "...like any good day now." If magic were so available to use, why hasn't socialism succeeded longer than it has in any attempt to apply it around the world? See the Intro to this exercise.

Americans are not ready for socialism unless everything is free.
