When I grew up 🤳🏻 📱 these were only just coming onto the shelves. Aka mid 2007 to late 2007.

Then forward to 2009 ⏩ more popular then by 2012 / 2015 it was unmissable 🧿🤳🏻📱photo sourced from internet

Thoughts? Personally I sometimes still could pick up a dumb phone aka a basic phone with a keypad, no touch screen, and have zero issues. Why? For as long as internet services on a desktop laptop, ATMs, payphones, and options for hardcopy still all exist - life can still be loved and lived with non smartphone. Beauty of no socials either besides call or SMS text. 📱 Or 📞 doesn't have the U shape. Lol.

If you would like to see how Democratic Socialists define themselves:

Democratic socialism is a political ideology that advocates for a democratic political system alongside a socially-owned or controlled economy, where the means of production are managed by the public or workers to meet social needs rather than private profit. It seeks to combine the principles of democracy, such as individual freedoms and multi-party elections, with a fundamental transformation of the economy.

Core Principles

Political Democracy: Upholds civil liberties, freedom of speech and assembly, and free elections within a multi-party system.

Economic Democracy/Social Ownership: Believes the economy should be democratically run. This can take various forms, including public utilities, government-owned industries, or worker-managed cooperatives, to ensure resources benefit the community as a whole.

Social Welfare: Strongly supports robust social safety nets and universal access to essential services like healthcare and education, funded through progressive taxation.

Reduced Inequality: Aims to significantly minimize wealth disparity and ensure a basic standard of living for all citizens.

Feature Democratic Socialism:

Economic Goal Seeks a systemic transformation to replace capitalism with a post-capitalist socialist economy. Works within a reformed capitalist framework, aiming to mitigate its negative effects through regulation and a strong welfare state.

View of Capitalism Critical of capitalism, seeing it as inherently incompatible with true freedom and equality in the long term. Accepts a mixed-market economy, using government intervention to protect consumers and establish social programs.
