Dinner party guests...

Who would you like to invite to a dinner party for some sparkling and heated conversation... I'm imagining the following.

Karl Marx... For his views on communism as imagined
Stalin. .. Communism as an excuse
Henry Ford.. To try to counter the above
And maybe Ghandi for a totally different viewpoint

What do you think, someone dead before dessert is served?

Awwww! 💖💖💖 I don't understand politics very well but I know for 100% definite I am left wing by American standards but maybe only left of centre by the rest of the world! 🤔🤔🤔 I strongly believe in universal healthcare that is free paid by taxes and I also believe in a strong welfare safety net system for the eldery and disabled and I think jobs should allow paid sick leave and paid vacation time and obviously free education at least until college! 🤗🤗🤗 I believe in socialised healthcare, socialised welfare and socialised programs to help the poor, elderly, sick and disabled but I don't think socialism should go any further than that! 😝😝😝 My favourite politician ever is Bernie Sandars and I love AOC as well! 😁😁😁

@MommyLucy for someone who doesn't understand politics very well. You're pretty smart Lucy ;)

@Convivial Awwww! 💖💖💖 My precious son is disabled so I understand the basics and I think welfare to help the vulnerable is needed for compassionate reasons! 🤗🤗🤗 My dear daddy explains a lot of this to me my whole life and I still find it confusing to this very day! 😝😝😝

@MommyLucy Except that AOC cost at least 100,000 jobs in Queens, NYC, 25,000 estimated direct jobs and at least 75,000 that would have been created as community support, like stores, etc. when she got the Amazon Headquarters plans scrapped, and Sanders is a sellout.

@NativePortlander1970 My oldest son is severely disabled and is non verbal and has the mind of a toddler so him getting a job is impossible so I believe in welfare to help the disabled and us parents take care of him! 🤗🤗🤗 Bernie Sandars and AOC are two of the rare politicians that promote universal healthcare unlike pretty much every Republican and most Democrats so that is why I have a soft spot for those two! 🥰🥰🥰 AOC and Bernie Sanders definitely are not perfect but they are the closest thing America has to a true left wing that supports everyone including the poor and disabled and not just the richest few! 💖💖💖

@MommyLucy No, they are not, both are sellouts to neoliberalism, which supports corporate healthcare, they do not walk their talk. I voiced for Sanders so hard during my state's caucus my precinct wanted to make me a delegate, but I didn't feel good enough to accept. Once Bernie supported Hillary I knew he was a fake. By the end of AOC's first term, she was caucusing with the neolib dems in Congress, another sellout.

@NativePortlander1970 Awww! 💖💖💖 Please don't be sad about my precious son's disability! 😥😥😥 Cause I have autism myself I believe in autism acceptance as if you take my sons severe autism or my mild autism away we wouldn't be ourselves anymore if that makes sense! 🤗🤗🤗 My precious son may be disabled but he is happy and healthy and I wouldn't change him for the stars in the sky instead I just want him to be happy and know he is loved dearly! 💫💫💫
