Define socialism @LC

2020-03-11 20:20:28 UTC  

Government control over the means of production

@LC beautifully said

Nope

2020-03-11 20:20:48 UTC  

tfw your family lived in the DDR

2020-03-11 20:21:07 UTC  

That's one kind of socialism, but not all kinds of socialism

2020-03-11 20:21:46 UTC  

Wrong

2020-03-11 20:22:14 UTC  

I know you tards like to call it "social ownership," but "social" is government.

2020-03-11 20:22:34 UTC  

It requires no more government than any other law

2020-03-11 20:22:47 UTC  

Democratic Socialism is communism. Change my mind

2020-03-11 20:22:49 UTC  

social ownership doesnt mean you get to own or have a say in how anything works. its just verbal sleight of hand.

2020-03-11 20:22:51 UTC  

FALSE

2020-03-11 20:23:00 UTC  

Man it’s strange watching this debate. Been a long time since I’ve actually been privy to a leftist debating in real time

2020-03-11 20:23:11 UTC  

Stop pretending you with your elementary level definition of socialism know more about what constitutes my own ideology than I do

2020-03-11 20:23:22 UTC  

anyone watching the live stream of Trump meeting the bankers?

2020-03-11 20:23:26 UTC  

e l e m e n t a r eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2020-03-11 20:23:35 UTC  

Socialism ABSOLUTELY requires dramatic expansion of government power, and subsequently a reduction in YOUR civil rights, SPECIFICALLY the ownership of private property.

2020-03-11 20:23:41 UTC  

You can argue that socialism always results is government control, but socialism itself is not necessarily government control

2020-03-11 20:23:55 UTC  

I blame all eu issues cos of Germany <:TrumpDisgust:624681485525319681> @Ostland

2020-03-11 20:24:01 UTC  

yes it is necessarily government action, control, force, implementation

2020-03-11 20:24:10 UTC  

@dairypillows is there a government in democratic socialism?

2020-03-11 20:24:11 UTC  

Every SINGLE time socialism has been tried (over 100 times) it has resulted in a tyranny and failed.

2020-03-11 20:24:34 UTC  

Tbf ur ideology is based on the elementary understanding of a fake idea of “socialism” being propagated by people with a giant platform like Bernie Sanders and AOC

2020-03-11 20:24:41 UTC  

@LC Germany, the UK, Sweden, etc. All fit the actual definition of socialism

2020-03-11 20:24:56 UTC  

Those are capitalist countries, you massive walnut

2020-03-11 20:24:56 UTC  

@Doc Jinzo, PhD in Trap Negation propagated by *checks notes* the dictionary

2020-03-11 20:25:25 UTC  

@LC
the people democratically control the means of production

Which is socialism

Read up on codetermination laws

2020-03-11 20:25:34 UTC  

False

2020-03-11 20:25:51 UTC  

Each one of those countries allows private business ownership

2020-03-11 20:26:22 UTC  

They do have lots of socialistic policies though. None that I agree with obviously

2020-03-11 20:26:24 UTC  

“a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state”


From the Miriam Webster dictionary

2020-03-11 20:26:47 UTC  

Not the people. The *state*

The idea of “democratic” socialism is fake

2020-03-11 20:26:57 UTC  

Ad hominem is not a valid argument, and is also an indicator that you have none.

2020-03-11 20:26:58 UTC  

not all authoritarian policies are socialist. but all of socialist ideology relies on authoritarianism.

2020-03-11 20:27:17 UTC  

so·cial·ism

/ˈsōSHəˌlizəm/

Learn to pronounce

noun

a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole

2020-03-11 20:27:49 UTC  

"social organization" and "community" means GOVERNMENT.
Serious question: Do you have a learning disability?

2020-03-11 20:27:58 UTC  

lmao at the Liberals that are blaming Trump for the stock market rn

2020-03-11 20:28:02 UTC  

Community means community dipshit
