I'm mid 40s and from Australia. I keep getting reminders of how the US fought the cold war in ways we did not. And of how the US is by parts in thrall and poisoned to and by an intolerant, fearful and disgusted element. I'd apologise for Murdoch but he was too harsh for here. He went there and found his tribe. Yet Americans are fundamentally the same creatures as us. So the example of exaggeration and distortion i see in them gives me no feeling of superiority. If it is happening to them, it could happen to us.

Agreed, there’s not a huge difference between the anglospheric nations in terms of culture. I think maybe the key difference politically is our system of vetoes and two party system (throw in the abysmal electoral college). We are by the numbers a much more “progressive” nation than our politics would have it seem. But because our system prioritizes minoritarian rule, we are subject to the whims of the oligarchy. Australia, Canada, NZ and the UK all have (in my opinion) superior and more accountable electoral systems.

Universal healthcare, decent wages, taxing the rich, addressing climate change, etc. etc. those are all things that are well established in other democratic nations. In my view it takes a bit more to be called a socialist. Fighting to bring the means of production in the hands of the working class, THAT is socialist, and nobody in American politics is even mentioning that, let alone fight for it. America does not have a true leftist movement in politics. Bernie and AOC just look leftist compared to the rest who are either center-right or extreme-right.

You failing into the very fallacy Richard Wolff was taking about largely here. The centrally planned command economics, the so 'communist' model as practiced by the Soviet Union and et al, where the central bureaucracy controls both the totality of production and distribution of goods and services isn't the only model of socialism. All those books and people and countries (ie Denmark) Wolff mentions , you need to go and learn about them. You will see none of them were proposing what you have (hopefully unintentionally) straw-manned. Countries like Denmark, et al have set up government systems which are pretty incorruptible (especially when compared to the US) , and no one pays 100% tax. Real Democratic socialism countries (so not the pretend, name only ones like North Korea) all have reformed their political and bureaucracy systems as part of the implementation of various socialist policies. Ironically Socialism can fix government incompetence as the core principle underlying it is the key function of government is the most benefit for the most people demands that the very institution of how governments are elected, function and implement policy change. For instance almost all countries with varying degrees democratic socialism have introduced major changes in their electoral system since WW2. Whereas the US is still running an electoral system which at its core dates from the late 18th century.

You have it all backwards. People are already being stripped of their own labor under capitalism. That's how it works!

AGAIN, dear US-Americans, please study how SWITZERLAND has developed its enormously high level of broad and high education level throughout the population. Independent schools and independent world-renowned universities - independent from any industry's funding, as they are fully tax funded. Switzerland uses a SOCIALIST version of proper functioning capitalism AND has the most efficient government as having EVOLVED TO a direct democracy. This within over 700 years of independence, strong (ready for all) defense, therefore extreme stability and peace within and in international relations, unless being attacked from the outside. THIS MODEL would work as much for the United States of America as it always did for the United Kantons of Switzerland (Confederation of Helvetia). Switzerland is one of the very few countries in which the living standard is still rising, whilst already on the highest of imaginable levels, AND making sure no citizen falls behind. The average health and life span is one of the highest in the world, despite the high work ethics and passion for working hard, amongst its population. Food quality is THE HIGHEST in the world for 60+ years now. At the moment Switzerland's government is planning to bring back a lot of industries into their land, to become self-sufficient again, including chip manufacturing, in case imports might stuggle in the future, so as pushes more support for families, so it's easier to manage having kids or even big families. This supports both the otherwise likely soon population decline (similar to Japan and Singapore) and avoids family stresses. It's the country with the most successful inventions and patents per person (showing that the education system works well) and cities in Switzerland, such as Zurich make it very easy for software company startups to build up and flourish sustainably. Today Zurich employs an enormous amount of people from around the globe in such companies, with still huge demand for more software engineers, and likely the highest paychecks a software engineer could ever hope for, whilst cost of living in Zurich is proportionally surprisingly much lower than in any other country. SOCIALISM within capitalism and DIRECT DEMOCRACY would be the key for sustainable success for the USA.
