This is the understanding of leftist political thinking most people have. Anarchism is when there's rioting. Communism is when the government does stuff.
When you understand that, you get that it's incredibly silly to get upset at people trying to at least spin this into "socialism is when the government does good things that help people." That's not aimed at folks who've read 30 leftist books; it's aimed at folks who haven’t read 1 (and who never will unless they start feeling good vibes about leftism).
