Words matter.

You aren’t writing an academic paper. Always use simple direct language.

  • Help the poor
  • Healthcare for everyone
  • Good treatment at work.

Don’t use complex words.

    Yeah if you want to pitch socialism to people who don’t know what it is, just describe its parts as individual policies. Don’t actually use the word “socialism” - that makes the rednecks scurred >_>

      And if you do say socialism, say it along with something they like that isn’t scurry. For example, “socialism, like the fire department”.
