You’re talking about a few hundred thousand people tops across the entirety of the country, with well over 300 million residents. It’s election year whining, akin to saying you’re going to move out of the country when your guy loses. Worst case scenario you see more of these stupid militias pop up like did in the 90’s while Clinton was in office.
@emilianate You are not intelligent on the subject of socialism. Your definition “means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.” is that of Communism not Socialism. Socialism means that the federal government (or governing body in general) is in charge of anything that isn’t simply a law. The public roads you drive on, the schools you were educated in, the subsidized gasoline you put in your car, the subsidized energy that powers your house, the electric system that carries your electricity, the fire department and police who protect you, the military that protects you, the very internet you are reading this on, etc, etc, etc…. all provided to you by your government. Surprise you’ve been living in a socialist nation your entire life.
Hell we’ve been a quasi-socialist nation since our very founding. Over half of the Founding Fathers were known as the Federalists and they advocated for absolute Federal government control for christs sake. They created the National Bank, the Post office, etc, etc
This pure capitalist utopia you are dreaming of has never been in the United States, and quite frankly a pure capitalist system would be doomed to failure. There are certain industries/systems that should not be run with a profit motivation (healthcare, roads, education, military, etc), and unregulated capitalism is incredibly cannibalistic. Practically Feudalism.
You want a pure capitalist nation, move to Somalia.
