Lisa's only mistake was saying yes.
Just do every single thing in socialism, but change every single word. Call it Americanism.
Proletariat? No, just "worker".
Bourgeoisie? No, just "elites".
Capital? "Stuff". Like how in baseball they say a pitcher's got good "stuff". Use your human stuff.
Class Consciousness - "common sense".
Dialectical Materialism - Idk I'm still trying to figure out wtf that one means.
You people have good luck with this? I haven't. I don't find that you can just "trick" people into believing in socialism by changing the words. The moment if becomes obvious you're criticizing free markets and the rich and advocating public ownership they will catch on.
Dialectical materialism -> Scientific materialism to distinguish it from the common usage of the world "materialism"
