If capitalism lifts people out of poverty, why is feeding the community socialism?

Love to see a community standing up against a clear harm
Residents rally again against plan for Joliet data center
Even though the data center plan was being taken off the agenda "indefinitely," 16 people came to tell the Plan Commission that they don't want it in the community.

These radical socialists want us to have healthcare; get em!

Many of us joined DSA because of the countless failures of the Democratic Party!
West Suburban IL Democratic... 15h ... X We'd like to thank the DuPage County Republicans for their support! We are not, in fact, your mom and dad's Democrats. We are Socialists. We want an economy that works for the workers that build it, not for the few in the owning class. The people that build the community should be able to afford to live in it. We want healthcare for all not because it's a campaign slogan, but because we believe in taking care of our neighbors. And we want our neighbors to be safe from the radical actions of ICE. Those are the kind of things we had in mind when we endorsed Ben McAdams for IL Senate 24 (and others) to run for office. DuPage County Republicans. Follow 1d We extend a huge congratulations to Republican Senator Seth Lewis's otherwise completely unknown and unqualified Democrat opponent on his receiving the endorsement of the Illinois Democrat Socialists! These are not your mom and dad's Democrats. Today's Illinois' Democrat Party is swamped by radicalism. Its standard bearers have gone from FDR and JFK to Stalin, Castro and Maduro. If you believe this post overstates things, ask any Democrat official you know to publicly denounce Socialism.
