Now there is a response I can roll with.
I equate bitching as toxic. At some point I have to stop bitching and either accept it, or change it. Our educations have some commonalities, but I was not literate going in, and functionally illiterate when I left. Abuse, both physical and emotional, was a part of my early education. It effected me so much to the point that I wanted to do something about it. That is all. No high calling, no burning bush; just wanted to be the teacher/mentor that I never had.
This is my kind of socialism. Take care of yourself and one another. I work on helping children become independent and or support what independence they already have. My socialism is all about “one another”.
I fully embrace the fact that my socialism, or any other form of socialism, will fail in time, for social can never defeat self. Socialism vs. Selfishness… no competition. Selfishness is a part of human nature, socialism is a human construct. Nature will triumph every time.
