It’s called democratic socialism,

  It’s called capitalism  —  an economic system designed to endlessly exploit human labor and to endlessly extract natural resources from the planet. A system that delivers profits to a wealthy few while the many suffer, which treats people and their communities as mere investment opportunities, to be abandoned when no longer profitable.

And it’s called democratic socialism, an economic system in which the “means of production”  —  our factories, our corporations, and our natural resources, etc.  —  are collectively owned and controlled, so that democracy functions not only in the realm of electoral politics, but in our workplaces and economic life, too.

It’s a system in which the fundamentals of human survival and freedom (like healthcare, education, housing, jobs, retirement benefits, the environment) are not bought and sold on the market, but treated as human rights guaranteed to all people. It’s a system in which we work not to make profit for profit’s sake, but to ensure that everyone in our society has what they need to live happy, fulfilled, and healthy lives.

まあ、アメリカでも社会民主主義を目指している人たちがいる、ということを知ることに意義がある。
