I put it in quotations because I don't like to use their terminology, just like I did with "allies". I prefer the term "minority" for myself, because "marginalized groups" sounds weak. I also don't like being called "differently abled".

You're right though, that's the reason why I don't like the term "socialism"... this is America, we can come up with something better to call it that doesn't have the connotation of the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany... something without the totalitarian flavor to it. Maybe "New Americanism" or "America-first" (since we'd be rebuilding the country & withdrawing our troops from overseas, we'd be placing America First on our list of priorities)

And no, I absolutely do not trust many if not most college educated people because they don't know how to think outside of the boxes that their hate-filled professors have corralled them into. I went to college, got an associate's degree, took a lot of American history and political science classes, learned absolutely NOTHING about "socialism"... at all, all of that I had to do on my own when I was involved with DSA: who don't want socialism, they want authoritarian liberalism based on "intersectional" hierarchies. That doesn't sound like a classless society to me.

My degree is in American History & political science. I didn't go on to a university because I saw the writing on the wall and didn't feel like saddling myself to upwards of $50k in debt whereas my mom's student loans were like $6k back in the 1980s. I didn't walk either.
