Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I was at No Kings Chicago but I and lots of other people bailed before the parade started for us because it was just taking too long to get started and the tail end of the parade was getting pretty uncomfortably dense. So factor in that even more people were there than managed to march
