The mainstream liberals who say they’re communist wouldn’t know communism if it sent them to the gulag.

shitty

@Emperor’s Inquisitor. I think you mean democratic socialists

social democrats are actual capitalists

democratic socialists are actual socialists

fun fact: not every brand of socialism/communism is a dictatorship

in fact, most branches aren't

Erm democratic socialists should be socialist by the name, but they’re actually not, they’re all healthcare weebs

that's social democrats, silly

Social democrats are healthcare n wellfare weebs aswell but they don’t put socialist in theyre name

Social =/= socialist

yes

Social democrats aren't socialist

Yep

they're capitalists that want some socialistic policies

Yep

democratic socialists are socialists

who want the workers to control the means of production

In theory, but not in real life

but also desire a great amount of freedom/democracy, within a state system

... No, it's objectively what they are

People often confuse social democrats and democratic socialists

In real life a lot of “democratic socialist” groups are basically social democrats

[Citation needed]

Are you in a lot of democratic socialist groups?

Nop

I am a socialist sympathizer though

I’m not crazy about it though

I don't get how a simple placement of words can change an entire ideology

even more considering democracy doesn't imply free market per se

Social and socialist are different terms

Social is for society and socialist is public means of production

that's not how grammar's supposed to work
but hey,I don't want to make a big deal out of this

So any of y’all remember sea monkeys

That scammy kids toy that said shrimp were “sea monkeys”

The inventor of it was a Jew who led a kkk faction and donated large amounts of his fortune to it

Good talk

cuz why not? h3h3
