Socialism
When we talk about the word 'socialism', I think what it really means is just democratic participation in our economic dignity and our economic, social, and racial dignity. It is about direct representation and people actually having power and stake over their economic and social wellness, at the end of the day.
I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism, the path is socialism.

Democracy and socialism are means to an end, not the end itself.
Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.
To me, what socialism means is to guarantee a basic level of dignity. It's asserting the value of saying that the America we want and the America that we are proud of is one in which all children can access a dignified education. It's one in which no person is too poor to have the medicines they need to live.
Poverty is not socialism. To be rich is glorious.
With the development of industrial capitalism, a new and unanticipated system of injustice, it is libertarian socialism that has preserved and extended the radical humanist message of the Enlightenment and the classical liberal ideals that were perverted into an ideology to sustain the emerging social order.
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.
To me, democratic socialism means democracy. It means creating a government that represents all of us, not just the wealthiest people in the country.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy.
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
