DSA’s Wisc. Gov. Candidate: ‘Democratic Socialism Is Actually More About Freedom than Any Other Form of Government’

EXCERPT:

HONG: “The word socialism has become politicized and the connection to it is about the people who have harmed others through socialism, as opposed to talking about what it is, which is a government that provides the essential public goods and services to help people, you know, live the lives that they want to live. I think democratic socialism is actually more about freedom than any other form of government. And the scariness that surrounds the word really comes from the people who want to maintain the status quo.”
