Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb, a democratic socialist running for Congress in the state’s 3rd District, says the United States is “not a purely capitalistic society.” On CBS News’s “Face the Nation” with Margaret Brennan, Rabb frames his argument around the existence of government-run or publicly funded programs.
He points to Social Security, public education, and other social provisions as examples that, in his view, mean the U.S. does not operate as a purely market-based system. The CBS segment presents this as part of Rabb’s broader political messaging during his campaign.
Breitbart highlights the same remarks and the “Face the Nation” appearance, focusing on Rabb’s statement about capitalism rather than adding additional policy details beyond the quoted claim.
