I understand social democracy very well and I don’t think it’s a good system because the capitalist class ultimately stays in charge, which will inevitably lead to corruption and the slow reverting of social services. I used to be a social democrat myself around when Bernie started to run for president the first time, so I understand why the premise is popular.

My idea of socialism includes:

• Workers owning the businesses they work for with no exceptions, which eliminates worker exploitation and enshittification
• Having a hard wealth cap (both realized and unrealized) of between $10-50 million tied to inflation
• A universal basic income that is enough to thrive, which will allow people to persue hobbies and become entrepeneurs without fear of failure
• Having all basic necessities be guaranteed and universally available without means testing (healthcare, housing, utilities, food, etc.)
• A universal right to dignity and privacy (eliminate mass surveillance both from governments and from companies, police and prisons must treat people with respect, similar to the Norweigan system)
• Create a government organization that publicly audits code to ensure that neither malicious foreign or domestic actors have the ability to hack into computers to the best of their ability, and have a state bug bounty program for all open source code
• Have the government own essential infrastructure as voted on by the people (public infrastructure, prisons, the military, schools, etc.)
• Have a more direct form of democracy, eliminating representatives in favor of direct voting on legislation wherever possible to aid in abolishing corruption
• Eliminate the Supreme Court’s ability to unilaterally enact laws
• Public funding of elections where representatives are needed, along with a new voting system (RCV, STAR, etc. depending on what mathmeticians agree represents the people best for each individual scenario)
• Ban all advertising, especially political. If any individual is getting paid to speak in any form that is not directly advertising, who pays must be disclosed or else face prosecution
• Ban all for-profit news organizations, excluding independent outlets who receive their funding from small-dollar donations
• Ensure that nobody is above the law by allowing the public as a whole to sue individuals and organizations, even if they were not directly affected by whatever crime has been committed

And that’s just what I came up with and is by no means comprehensive.
