I hate socdem parties and their members being called socialist. There is nothing socialist about reforming capitalism.

this one is extraordinary in the way it's been allowed to flourish in the us empire's backyard.

it was not allowed because they didn't do shit, we already had universal health care but it was rebranded, unfunded and now funded again all within Morena's leadership

A reform that faces backlash and, by the force of collective movements, overcomes backlash and capitalist resistance, is a form of revolution. I think such movements may lead to socialism, or other things (better or worse).
Edit: who is downvoting me speak your mind, im curious... I know what i said doesnt sound like most leninist discourse, but in practice im not sure how they differ.

she ain't a socialist. she's just another settler that's reframing the way their medicine is already socialized. fuck this liberal trash.

If only things got worse as incrementally as they got "better".

you should know that even if there is access to healthcare right now we don't have medicines and getting any real help from the system will take you weeks or months for anything beyond a cold (and again, they won't have any meds, and if you need surgery you will be asked to provide blood donors and meds)
all that will be cheaper even on private hospitals when compared to US prices

They'll need to build a wall to keep the yanks out.

Hate to tell you this, but there is definitely already an influx of Americans immigrating to Mexico. They needed that wall yesterday.

This isn't the win that people think it is. We have no medicines in.out pharmacies. Some don't even have paracetamol. This is a morena fluff piece. She is corrupt af
sakuraba@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 113d
no but you see she is a self called leftlist so we can't critic her /s
it's really weird how leftist here will believe anything that sides with their narrative but willfully ignore how people living here in México are suffering
pneumatron@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 112d
The thing is I am an actual leftist, but this shit ain't it. 0 accountability at all for the governing party. Pure bread and circus.

Worse yet is making perfect the enemy of good that happens around Lemmy.
sakuraba@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 112d
that would imply it is good
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 112d
The point is that its important to start somewhere. You don't have to end where you start.
sakuraba@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 112d
you see the thing is we are worse than we started with the current political party in power
that's like saying trump is good because he has to start somewhere instead of acknowledging the damage his decisions and cabinet have caused
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 112d
Not at all the same.
We need a cultural shift to the left. Part of that is going to be soc dem to get people a taste of what they are missing.
Too many people on Lemmy let perfect be the enemy of good.
sakuraba@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 112d
cool, so where is the soc dem?

This isn't about healing anyone, its about collecting private medical information on the population, and accidentally giving it to Billionaire's bent on stopping over-populations, and on long-term population control.

this and the new rule to register our CURP with mobile carriers are some of the worst cyber security risks regarding personal information
US citizens can relate i guess
