Socialism doesn’t preclude the rehabilitation of America.
You and I agree on this. Abandoning capitalism doesn’t mean America needs to be destroyed, and adopting socialism doesn’t mean America can’t be rehabilitated.
I don’t think you’re following your own argument here.
Your original claim refuted the view of the Original Commenter (OC) who thought capitalism always wins, or seeks to concentrate wealth and therefore power in the hands of the few despite the needs of the many. I don’t want to assume what your views on capitalism are. Do you think we should keep it as an organization of the economy? Or are there better alternatives? Regulation on capitalism is not a solution imo. As we’ve seen with Trump and Bush, politicians can be bought out to represent corporate interests, and can install anti-regulation pundits to undermine progress.
Are you trying to say all socialist call for the destruction of America?
Quite the opposite. I’m saying I think you say all socialists call for the destruction of America because from how you’ve presented yourself, you don’t recognize the variation in political philosophy on the left. My first comment to you tried to illuminate this variation by refuting your worldview that authoritarian, tankie communism applies to all forms of leftist ideologies, when there are others that don’t include such levels of authority.

I’m not trying to argue. I’m trying to educate.
You probably shouldn’t try to educate when you don’t know what’s going on.
Yep I refuted that with multiple examples
Nope, I said nothing about concentrating wealth. That’s all you right now. Please stop trying to put words in my mouth. It’s very weird.
What do you think it means for capitalism to win?
Not capitalism. Seriously go reread this thread. You are having your own little conversation right now
