    So the reason you aren’t as accepted as you think you need to be is because you have a particular brand of socialism. To the west socialism is healthcare it is police accountability it is political fairness. None of these things apply to your concept of socialism because socialism is not an ideology it is, say it with me, social… pee my pants. no wait i mean ism in my pants. You can apply your brand but I will be here to fuck that brand in the face because you are the enemy of society by associating social…ism community…ism with dictator…ism.

    You never claimed to assert freedom for society, community but you do think dictating is part of your cause. Because it is but you aren’t socialist at best you are marxist a fucking brand. A fucking brand give me face value capitalism you dumb cunt.

      So it sounds like you’re trying to say what people think socialism is changes from place to place. That’s generally true for most political concepts, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an actual consistent and correct definition. Even in the west, the idea that socialism is just social programs isn’t an absolute, people are quite capable of understanding that it’s when public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy and the working class is control.

      As for me, I am a Marxist-Leninist, sure. I don’t see what you mean by saying I’m “not a socialist, at best I’m a Marxist.” Marxism is historically the most significant branch of socialism, alongside anarchism, I don’t see how Marxism could be considered not socialist. I also don’t “defend dictators.”

        Yep you confirmed my assertion with no rebuttable maybe a tingle but where is your acknowledgement of saying dumb shit in the first place?

          I didn’t confirm your assertion. I acknowledged that people are often mistaken, and this varies by location, and responded with the correct definition as has been most consistent historically and currently. Liberals believing socialism to merely be social programs isn’t a “western” thing, it’s a lack of education on what socialism actually is.

          And no, I never said “dumb shit,” so there’s nothing to admit to there.
