You believe in a society where wealth and power are distributed fairly among the people, ensuring equal opportunities and a strong sense of community.
Popular Socialism is a political ideology that combines elements of socialism with populism. It advocates for the redistribution of wealth and resources from the rich to the poor, and the control of the economy by the people, often through the state. It also emphasizes the importance of popular participation in politics and decision-making processes, often through direct democracy or other forms of popular empowerment.
The roots of Popular Socialism can be traced back to the 19th century, during the rise of socialist and populist movements in Europe. These movements were driven by the…

If pets could be embraced by a whole community rather than owned by individuals, how would you engage with animals?
@9JS55MV 1yr1Y
i would learn when and what i need to do to keep that pet healthy put my money forward for feed, vet visits etc.
@9JVKRFXIndependent1yr1Y
I believe if the whole community owns the pets and holds them in a specific place they wouldn't get enough attention with work life and jobs and that place would end up more like a pound. It would be a playground that no one uses or used little and the pets wouldn't form bonds with an owner which is what makes a pet so special. Also your comment doesn't make sense towards the question you are talking about owning the pet putting your money forward not the communities like in the question.
@9JS8R4B1yr1Y
If pets are there for a whole community to enjoy as opposed to a single person/household, it destroys the individual connection you have with the animal.
@9JS67NLRepublican1yr1Y
I wouldn't care to engage with animals that aren't mine.
@9JS6DVY1yr1Y
pets are cute, I'd still pet them and keep them entertained.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If local food was free and accessible to everyone, how do you think it would change your eating habits?
@9JD9VL21yr1Y
I believe that my eating habits would get better, if I had a choices that were more healthy or beneficial to me and my goals.
@9JD9KJP 1yr1Y
I would eat much healthier, and would eat out less often. I would rather eat fresh food at home.
@9JD9J74Libertarian1yr1Y
I think it would mainly change my spending habits, but I also imagine obesity rates would go up.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you think your relationships with people would change if everyone had similar economic status?
@9J52ZNQ1yr1Y
Everyone would agree on the same thing and there wouldnt be a difference
@9J5C45WRepublican1yr1Y
Just because people earn the same amount of money doesn't mean they don't have different ideologies.
@9J52VYJ1yr1Y
I don't think my relationships with people would change.
@9J52W851yr1Y
I don't think my relationships would change much, I wouldn't be as judgmental of people if we were all the same economic status.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would fashion and personal style evolve in a society where clothing is made strictly for functionality and comfort?
@9JJN7KY1yr1Y
It gives more people freedom to show who they are in their clothing
it would kind of be lame, what is the point of art based fashion, if to not be functional
I think it should be because it is unfair if people don't get clothes.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might being part of a tight-knit community affect your sense of identity and personal goals?
@9JJNQLM1yr1Y
Being apart of a tight-knit community can affect ones identity and personal goals because you are often surrounded by people with similar beliefs and you may have to alter yours to fit in.
@9JJNQG31yr1Y
You might began to adopt others goals and identities, leaving your own behind, just to fit in with the crowd.
@9JJNQ9BRepublican1yr1Y
It may change your opinions about certain things if your community believes the same things.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In your view, does equal opportunity mean everyone should receive the same education and health care, and why?
@9HXQJBN1yr1Y
I believe everyone who works hard and wants to have an education should be equal no matter where you come from
@9HY3HZD1yr1Y
Yes everyone should have equal education but still keep prices on highest possible eduation
@9HXQDKQ1yr1Y
yes, it does mean everyone should reactive the same education and health care. Everyone should be equal and held to the same standard at ALL times.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In a society where all jobs are valued equally, what profession would you choose and why?
@9JB9XBX1yr1Y
I would choose to be a brain surgeon because I love working hard for little pay.
@9JBBPNY1yr1Y
I would still choose being a Psychiatrist. I firmly believe that in todays age, being able to help someone through their personal problems and help them heal from wounds that no one can see is one of the most noble things a person can do.
@9JBBGN51yr1Y
Will choose finance because it makes the most money
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think it's fair for someone to have billions of dollars while others don't have enough to eat, and why?
@9H9DXHKRepublican2yrs2Y
Yes, that is their money which they earned, they have no responsibility to give it away
@9H9F5L72yrs2Y
"Working harder" doesn't guarantee anything. No one individual human is worth tens of billions of dollars while others have little opportunity to feed their families. Trickle-down economics does not work.
@9H9DY6V2yrs2Y
Well they work for that money and the other people need to get a job
@9H9DS4C2yrs2Y
Yes , because some deserve billions depending on how hard they work.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If everyone's basic income was guaranteed, how would that influence your career choice?
@9HXN6HL1yr1Y
I would choose a career path that guaranteed me a specific amount of money but also was something that I enjoyed doing.
@9HXMLYH1yr1Y
It would lead people to be more determined to go into a career, since a certain salary is guaranteed .
@9HXN7WK1yr1Y
It wouldn't, I would still go after the occupation I am currently seeking, regardless of pay.
@9HXMNDX1yr1Y
I would choose to pursue a more artistic job that involves risk-taking as opposed to playing things safe and working in the typical career sectors.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might the world look different if everyone started with the same wealth at birth?
It would be a communist and non American government
@9HFZSYS2yrs2Y
The world would look strange, and I'm not sure if a lot of wars and events would have happened if we had popular socialism.
@9HFZQJC2yrs2Y
There will be nobody buying stuff that is cheap and useless, every wealthy person would like to have nice houses and nice cars. There will also be no more poverty.
@9HFZMYZ2yrs2Y
There would be a lot of money laundering and attacks against the government and economy.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In your ideal world, how would wealth and opportunities be distributed among people?
@9H9CRSDLibertarian 2yrs2Y
Everyone should have access to the same opportunities, but what they do with the opportunities is what should determine their wealth.
@9H9CQCG2yrs2Y
The govt. would provide annual checks to those who don't earn as much as everyone else. Those who don't earn as much as everyone else will be given mandatory opportunities to better their lives and in turn better the economy of the country. Those who earn more than others will have higher taxes to also better the communities and our lives. Student loans will be funded by the govt. no matter a household income
@9H9CPQQ2yrs2Y
Everyone should have equal opportunities but wealth should be distributed based on innovation.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican2mos2MO
Everyone should be given an equal opportunity and education, however how hard they work and their abilities will ultimately determine their financial status, and the government does NOT give any aid to those unable to make money
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What is one thing you would change about the way money controls power in society?
@9HMHLSC2yrs2Y
I would like to see inflation go down so the average person does not have to work as hard as they currently do.
@9HMH6MZ2yrs2Y
I would want money to have less of an influence when it comes to the quality of life of so many.
@9HN5W7R2yrs2Y
Shouldn't define the level of class you have based off of it
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Imagine if your favorite hobby could be your job without worrying about pay; would you still want to do it?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Describe a time when sharing something brought you more happiness than keeping it for yourself.
@9HXQLQQ1yr1Y
I let my friends know I have diabetes so when I had to sit out during basketball they didn´t think I was lazy.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you had the chance to design a school curriculum, how would you incorporate the concept of social responsibility?
Having them Volunteer in something at least once a year
@9HL4X8C2yrs2Y
to not kill people because your upset and acully doing something about bullying and voilce along with cahnging the way they teach math and other subjecst because the way they do it now is not good
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you feel about paying higher taxes if it significantly reduced poverty in your area?
@9HNSWLSIndependent2yrs2Y
Some areas seem like they have good pay when they dont and raising taxes is a great risk.
@9HN6T752yrs2Y
Depending on the increase in taxes, I wouldn't mind it. But if it was a significant increase, I would not like it.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would our cities look and function differently if built on the principles of collective ownership and access to resources?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In a world with no financial barriers, what dream would you chase and how could it benefit society?
@9HXR3M41yr1Y
In an ideal socialist world, which is ultimately what popular socialism is without financial barriers, I would most likely be working in a trade that requires heavy lifting. No one pursues a dream, you work so that you and others can live.

@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What role should the state play in your life, and how much control are you willing to give up for the promise of equality?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe it's more important to uplift the weakest in society or reward the strongest, and what's the middle ground?
Uplift the weakest in society because they're already weak
@9H9DGN32yrs2Y
i think both are important but rich people only need so much money
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might a society that has embraced popular socialism address the challenges of innovation and motivation?
@9H8XTHG2yrs2Y
Yes And No, I believe that the wealthy should be able to keep a good amount of money for many of them have earned their wealth, but i also believe that the poor should be helped more and the shrinking middle class should be supported more by the government.
@9H8RX882yrs2Y
They will reduce disparity in wealth, not only in different areas but also in all societal ranks and classes.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How could a community ensure everyone's voice is heard in decision-making without getting bogged down in endless debate?
@9HL63LX2yrs2Y
I don't know. Maybe there could be a system made to make sure everyone is heard, and nobody is being overpowered by other's voices.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would your day-to-day life change if your needs were already met by a collectively managed society?
@9HXPYGQ1yr1Y
It would probably be a lot simpler and also easier since all my needs were met
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What would your dream home look like in a society where housing was considered a right, not a commodity?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you think of a time when cooperation led to better results than competition in your own life?
@9HL4LNH2yrs2Y
People need honesty, support and tolerance, and competition provides none of these. In contrast, cooperation necessitates these qualities, which means it is vital at home and throughout one's personal life.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would the arts and entertainment fields be affected in a society where wealth is evenly distributed?
@9HWCYZ42yrs2Y
I don't think that the entertainment field would be bothered in this alternate reality but arts would with everyone being wealthy the value of art could drop.
