#DemocraticSocialism Is the Compromise Position
Given our scale of #inequality, the #egalitarian reforms of democratic socialism are only the start of what we should strive for.
Kyle Schmidlin, Jul 31, 2026
Excerpt: "Reforming the #SecondGildedAge
"Whether or not one agrees with such ideas, it’s a discussion that free people are within their rights to have. Though we often treat #capitalism as a national religion, there’s nothing sacred about it. Even the US Constitution is surprisingly agnostic on questions of economic organization. It’s not encoded in our DNA—in fact, we are much more naturally inclined toward cooperation than competition. Humans have a virtually infinite number of ways we can arrange society, and we are in desperate need of rethinking ours.
"Because for the last few decades, the American economy has grown ever more off-balance, to the point where many analysts now say we’re in a second #GildedAge. We recently minted the world’s first trillionaire, while about half of us would be wiped out by any major illness, accident, or job loss. Workers have lost power, essentials like housing and healthcare are increasingly out of reach, and practically all the gains of our productivity have been accumulated at the very top, with #corporations posting record profits. #Billionaires are multiplying their wealth faster than ever, building anti-revolution doomsday bunkers, and plotting to rule their own fiefdoms as #CEOKings.
"We live in a society that’s obsessed with law and order for things like #shoplifting or overstaying a visa, but largely looks the other way on #CorporateCrimes like #pollution, #WageTheft, and #fraud—not to mention #WarCrimes and #genocide. The president is a convicted felon who wants you to ignore his decades-long friendship with a child sex trafficker and instead fear and hate the immigrant next door.
"In such a system, elites should feel relieved that people are only demanding, say, a few public options for groceries, rather than revolting. The wealthy surely all took note of the public reaction to #LuigiMangione, who is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of New York City. Mangione became a cultural icon who was openly celebrated in many circles, making clear the rage simmering within America’s dispossessed.
"There’s a reason the progressive California Rep. #RoKhanna refers to a tax on wealth as an #AntiRevolution tax, or an attempt to save capitalism from itself. Progressive Democrats like Khanna often mediate between capitalist centers of power and the party’s left-wing base, who largely feel fed up with the party’s incremental approach of making small tweaks here and there. Democratic socialism, as practiced in today’s America, is still essentially incrementalism, but they’re much bigger increments.
"Such a model works well in places like #Finland, #Iceland, and #Denmark. These countries have high taxes, but they get far more out of them than we do. As a result they are consistently ranked as the happiest countries on Earth, with excellent numbers for education, homelessness, poverty, healthcare, life expectancy, and infant mortality—all areas in which the US, with its profit-first approach to every problem, is lagging behind.
"#HighTaxes and a mixed economy also once worked well in the #UnitedStates. We dug ourselves out of the #GreatDepression with the #NewDeal. Government programs brought electricity to rural areas and established safety nets and Social Security. Our middle class boomed after World War II, when taxes were the highest they’ve ever been.
"#Republicans and #BigBusiness called that #socialism, too. They even conspired to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Now, faced with another socialist menace, they’re playing just as dirty."

@Bad @ChrisMayLA6 #Economic #violence is hardly a new #phenomenon, though, is it? It has been with us for a very long time. There are those who argue that #Palaeolithic & #Mesolithic #societies were #egalitarian & #pacific - practically #Utopian, indeed (I very much doubt the truth of this thesis) - but #humans have definitely organised themselves in increasingly #hierarchic & #inegalitarian societies from the #Neolithic onwards.

https://theconversation.com/school-is-an-important-place-for-teens-to-learn-about-gender-equality-but-research-overlooks-it-276299; https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01672533251414512 (full text). "When #civic #knowledge is actively taught, #students are more likely to support #egalitarian views about #gender. These kind of views can include, for instance, that women & men should both be able to hold high positions in #politics, & that they should be paid equally." There appears to be a conflation here between biologically determined #sex & socially & psychologically determined gender - they are NOT the same thing.

when nomadic tribes moved from place to place, it was the most vulnerable and weakest (due to, for example, infancy or old age) who set the pace for movement, not the strongest and most able; the fitness of the most able thus went to supporting those less so, not dominating them. The most socially vulnerable only “dominated” in the sense that they set the benchmark for the priorities of the group.

Aight so me and two other good folks are starting a tech workers' cooperative. We've got plenty of stuff against us.
None of us have worked in a workers' cooperative or other kind of democratic workplace before.
There are barely a handful workers' coops in Norway. The national umbrella org for coops in Norway is basically dead and doesn't care about workers' coops at all.
Our coop is geographically distributed evenly along Norway, which means our northernmost worker-member would have to drive 24 hours by car or 44 hours by public transport to reach our southernmost worker-member.We've put in effort to reduce our weaknesses, and we've got things going for us too.
We've met and continue to meet with other workers' coops to learn from them and collaborate. We've got potential clients and pilot projects. We've got hardware. We've got tech and business know-how. We're working on the formal stuff, bylaws and agreements.It's going great.
Just wanted to let y'all know it can be done.
If you want to do it too, I recommend joining https://matrix.to/#/%23techcoop:autonomic.zone

Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions
The United States exhibits lower #power distance than Russia, fostering #egalitarian attitudes that challenge hierarchical #authority and resist centralized control, unlike Russia's acceptance of strongman rule. Higher individualism in the US (score around 91) promotes personal initiative and civic engagement, contrasting Russia's collectivism (score 39) rooted in communal loyalty and state dependence. US culture scores higher on indulgence and long-term (1/5)
