CRT Will Destroy Unions

That's a great example of successful co-ops making it work. Fast forward to 2017 and their unemployment was 70% higher, and even 25% higher than ours right now. And with co-ops, you still have elected officials running the show, singular entities, not workers voting on how the business is run. Look, I love the idea, but the plausibility just isn't there. Socialism still has rich and poor, no different than any other society. At least in my society, I can decide to not be poor.
the workers can vote in managers if it direct democracy is too inefficient.

1 worker 1 vote not 1 share 1 vote.

in mondragon they cut hours instead of lay off workers.

I love how someone named communist is posting about Socialism destroying unions when there are many Nordic countries who are thriving, while being Socialist, and having huge unions, free health care, free education, and so many other things.
It would be Unconstitutional to ban private insurance, and it would be immoral to replace the world's best Healthcare with socialized medicine. We already have public education and it is continually outpaced by private schools. Imo we need to fix what we got.

your healthcare is not one of the worlds best.

its the worlds most expensive with average results. for example i googled your hospitals vs canadian hospitals the ratings are pretty comparable yet our system is 40% cheaper or so.

your public education has been defunded so schools are falling apart, teachers arent well paid, and you have the worlds highest tuition for post secondary which puts you at a compettive disadvantage not to mention turns your young adults into debt slaves.

Most of the countries that have public healthcare also still have private insurance on top of it. The best healthcare systems in the world work this way.

Google world's best hospitals, doctors, wait times, cancer treatments before you come at me.
40% cheaper care is what the Canadians get for their socialism and they still have to pay for their dental, optical and pharmaceuticals.

Our education system is very good. Our healthcare is OK. You *can* get great healthcare here (see all of us at UPS), but I think a lot of people here forget how exceptional our healthcare is compared to literally everyone else's. We also don't see how much it costs, both in literal costs, and in better pay/other benefits/etc. lost in contract negotiations bc of that cost.

pharma is covered if you are poor to some degree. not sure about dental and optical. you can get it if you have work insurance. the US only has average outcomes, like i said.

Democrats big M4A plan bans private insurance and like I said our healthcare is superior when available
That may be true. I'm only familiar with Sanders' plan, which does not. In any case, that's the kind of stuff that's supposed to get worked out and negotiated in Congress. No plan goes through as originally written (eg ACA).

How will they do if Russia or China decides to march in?

I did that. We're number one for best hospital and doctor apparently. Not great for wait times, but pretty good for cancer treatment. The caveat is, can you afford that best hospital, best doctor, and good cancer treatment?
