Interestingly, you've perfectly illustrated the difference between Social Democrats and many socialists. There's a struggle to view economics outside this false binary of almost completely unregulated capitalism and government running most of the market.

Modern day concentration camps.
The government says the people being deported are violent criminals, and they treat them inhumanely. But mostly they are subjecting ordinary people to extraordinary punishments.

I'm a civil (not economic) libertarian and a Social Democrat.

I didn't know my second son needed it that much, until I realized how he was suppressing who he is to gain the approval of kids who dislike him for being smart, as someone from a group they don't think should be smart.

I'm excited for my second son to go to that school and participate in the black student organization.

My son has gained so much from having a black student organization at his school. He's become more comfortable in his skin and gained opportunities for developing leadership skills.
People miss how powerful it is to be told that you're beautiful as you are, in a world that calls you less than.
