@fluffy And in socialism, you get tales of the evil greedy capitalist trying to steal labor from all the workers that obviously deserve 100% of a company's revenue, and tales of the heroic Commisars Jethro and Tyrone, who put aside their racial differences to conquer the bourgeoisie.

All from within the comfort of your cell at the gulag/re-education camp.
@anornymorse did you mean communism? socialist reminds me of europe, they don't have gulags in europe
@fluffy Imagine playing the "not real communism" game at this point in the conversation.
@anornymorse huh?

I'm just saying different words refer to different things. "european-style socialism" is a well-defined concept, and different from "soviet-era communism".

Are you trying to conflate these two intentionally? What's with this bad faith argument
@fluffy Imagine defining words in quotes that were never mentioned in the conversation, in order to avoid being called on attempting the "not real communism" game.
@anornymorse huh?

everyone knows socialism is shorthand for "european-style socialism". I wrote it out so that you wouldn't do some stupid word game again.

Stop wasting my time
@fluffy Imagine using an "Everyone Knows" absolutist bandwagon fallacy to deflect from being called-out twice on the attempts to deflect from the logical extension of the pic you posted.
@anornymorse are you claiming that you don't think that socialism refers to "european style socialism"?

What else could it possibly refer to? Australian-style? That's the same. American socialism... Stuff like social security, medicare? Japanese-style, which is not different from european?

Or do you think it means some shit from 50 years ago in the soviet union? Berlin wall fell more than 30 years ago mate.

You're making a semantic argument and a bad one at that. Go be a #boomer somewhere else
