    Meeting everyone’s basic needs isn’t even far left. This is how far the Overton window has shifted to the right. Meeting everyone’s basic needs is left-of-centre. Far left would be state owned and controlled everything, redistribution of wealth via any means necessary, all public services fully state funded and free for all at the point of use.

      “Socialism is when the government does stuff, and communism is when the government does all the stuff. What is a mode of production?”

      God I fucking hate how the capitalist authoritarian states of the last century managed to gaslight everyone into believing this shit.
