    On reddit earlier the top comment on the post about Oprah asking for money was calling her a champaign socialist because that's when you're rich but ask other people to donate money.

    The people explaining that's not what champaign socialist meant weren't getting nearly as much support as the people saying "no it's when your rich and ask other people for money"

      Reddit still thinks socialism is whatever Norway is doing, China is 'authoritarian', North Korea is 'evil', Cuba is sometimes 'evil', sometimes not

      It's a website that caters to people who will argue for 50 comments explicitly about spelling and grammar in a comment that is completely wrong anyway

      Morons hung up on pedantry

        Honestly I see that stuff here as well

        Arguments about "state capitalism", "market socialism", "communism vs early stages of socialism"

        Just call it communism for everything like the early theorists did since it's a clear distinction from the socialist but not communist people
