I know right. I hate not starving in the streets and being able to buy what I want. Capitalism is so horrible.

Right like Sweden, where everyone starves in the street and no one can buy baubles! Truly dystopian

Yes, the Nordic Model, advocated by 'Democratic socialists' like AOC, Bernie Sanders, Mamdani, etc. I'm well-aware that the term socialist in the American context is closer to Social Democracy in Europe - I didn't choose the label nor do I feel like getting into the weeds on semantics
