Responding to “Socialism Makes People Selfish” by PragerU, a video which tries to convince you it’s selfish to want a society where we're guaranteed what we need for wellbeing and survival.

This video is a debate between two fictional characters: One in favor of voting and electoralism, the other bitterly opposed. https://youtu.be/Mv7naNWfZ4A [youtube]Mv7naNWfZ4A[/youtube] My personal opinion is I don’t have a problem with voting but believe that electoralism is harmful. Regardless of whether or not you vote, we should focus on building a mass-movement to win reforms by our own actions and build our…
