      Communism is when the means of production are seized through nasty disgusting authoritarianism 😠

      Socialism is when we nicely ask the bourgeoisie to relinquish their private property and means of production, and if they refuse, that’s their right and we have to respect it 🙂

        Let’s be honest, they most likely think socialism starts and ends with a robust welfare state.

          One time someone I know in real life who considers themselves smart told me that being able to buy flavoring sauces with food stamps in the US is an example of socialism

      They need to read a book that gives them basic definitions of Capitalism, Communism, and Socialism..
