Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
Without regard to the happy horse poop your professor buddy came up with no socialist system works as theorized. The workers don't decide. The State decides. You don't get to decide for you. I don't get to decide for me.
In free market systems, we individually decide. In a free market system, one has liberty. In socialist systems, the state decides. Under socialism one has tyranny.
We can place limits on evil governments. The US Constitution did. We should return to it.

One, I put up the socialist prof in order to properly define socialism as an economic system. I noted why it won't work in that it's predicated on an invalid labor theory of value.
Two, centralization is not inherent in a system intended and designed to let workers democratically distribute the value of production. The problem is the system offers nothing to prevent centralization just as in there is nothing in the free market system to prevent it. Oh sure we're supposed to have individual liberty, we're supposed to decide as an enlightened assumption, but it is defenseless against totalitarianism.
Just as you say we should return to the Constitution a socialist, like to prof in the OP, will say we should return to workers democratically deciding. Shoulds are weak defenses against centralization.
Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
It is happy horse poop. Socialism as an economic system is nonsense. Central planning requires a powerful central government.
Of course it is. Someone has to steal the wealth. Someone has to decide how much each person pays and how much each person gets.Two, centralization is not inherent in a system intended and designed to let workers democratically distribute the value of production.
No, Chris. The problem is that socialism requires coercion. It requires centralization. It requires a massive government.The problem is the system offers nothing to prevent centralization just as in there is nothing in the free market system to prevent it.
When our government becomes intolerable we will overthrow it. It is our fault we did not keep the government limited.Oh sure we're supposed to have individual liberty, we're supposed to decide as an enlightened assumption, but it is defenseless against totalitarianism.
We claim it is the supreme law of the land and yet we allow the federal government to do as it likes. Some of us see the solution in the Article V process. If that fails we will either see serfdom or rebellion.Just as you say we should return to the Constitution
There is no possible way for the workers to democratically decide anything. It is a chimera.a socialist, like to prof in the OP, will say we should return to workers democratically deciding. Shoulds are weak defenses against centralization.
