Counterpoint: If you ask most elected officials edit: in the US (of either party), any two of those as policy goals would make you a socialist.

You’ll find out when we get done with our “Republic” arc and start the “Empire” one.

I think the abolition of borders falls under the umbrella of socialism

Socialism means one thing: democratic control over the economy. It’s radically left-wing in most of the world, and because of that socialists also advocate for other radically leftist ideas. I’m one of the radical leftists that don’t believe governments should exist at all in their current form, but that’s not what makes me a socialist.

isn’t government not existing just a form of libertarianism? (not trying to argue or anything; just genuinely curious)

Socialism being more international isn’t just because it’s radical, but because Communism can only exist fully if there is no Capitalism anywhere to re-emerge. What you’ve said is correct, just incomplete IMO.

Depends on whether you think socialism is inherently globalist, which I wouldn’t say is necessarily true.

It might as well be considering the history of cross-country support. Class above nation, after all.

Socialism by definition will take care of most if not all of these
