If you've ever wondered what "it's socialism or barbarism" means, just look at the US.

If you've ever wondered what "it's socialism or barbarism" means, just look at the US. America abandoned any pretense of civilization when it decided the rich and powerful could exempt themselves from laws, regulations, and any form of social responsibility even if it meant destroying the planet. Meanwhile, if you don't pay a $2.90 subway fare, the cops will shoot you in the head.

The US is not a civilized society. It's barely even a "developed" one. It's a handful of billionaires, twelve mega-corporations, a bunch of cops, and the most insanely powerful military in the world wearing a trench coat.
The rest of us hate it here.

@gwynnion The concept of 'barbarism' is itself xenophobic. Most of the 'barbarians' were people peacefully living somewhere in the vicinity of what Rome liked to claim for itself. Only a small minority were actually aggressive.
