Not using any social programs so not a socialist.

The VA provides socialized healthcare. I’m from a family of veterans and I can tell you firsthand that the socialized healthcare the VA provides is eons better than dealing with predatory insurance companies.

You earn the VA Healthcare benefit. It isn’t given to anyone. You serve then you qualify.

Sure but most of the working class earn their benefits from hard work yet they can’t access those benefits because of predatory insurance companies. I’ve seen the stark contrast as I have taken care of aging family. The point is socialized healthcare is much better and the VA provides that for now.

do you have a business that is incorporated? You enjoy socialist policies favorable to business.

Earned benefits from military service. I only live off my earned benefits.

Per definition, a capitalist is a wealthy person who uses money to invest in trade and industry for profit in accordance with the principles of capitalism.

If you are, congratulations, you're rich.

Negative not living on investments. Not inheritance, not lottery money, not criminal money. No I didn’t marry someone with money. No I am not a influencer or make money from any social media.

[–] theolodis@feddit.org 0 points 3 days ago

Then you're not a capitalist, as per definition. Even though being an influencer or making money from social media wouldn't make you a capitalist per se as well.

Best I can offer is proletarian defending the capitalists.
