Socialism
When politicians want your attention, they resort to waving red flags. Trump’s tactic was to call everything he doesn’t like ‘socialism’ (like the Green New Deal) and everyone he didn’t like ‘socialist’ (like Bernie Sanders). The idea is to strike fear into the hearts of pro-business capitalists, but this is just obfuscation and lies. Socialism and capitalism are ideologies. They don’t exist in any pure form anywhere, not even America. Instead we see market-based, pro-business economies where governments set social and environmental standards and use incentives to shift industry towards a low-carbon, sustainable future. Socialism is an imaginary bogeyman.
