Real Socialism Hasn't Been Tried Yet

[NightFox]

Out of curiosity, which of the 5,000 or so definitions I've seen of socialism are we using on this thread?

This one:
"It hasn't been successful yet because everyone else did it wrong but we'll do it the right way".

DNC CHAIR TOM PEREZ SPOTTED CARRYING $1,840 DESIGNER BAG AT AIRPORT AFTER CALLING SOCIALISM ‘FUTURE’ OF PARTY.

To be fair, he called it the future of the party, not the present.

Socialists are the world’s greatest fools

And yet we allow socialism for farmers, banks and corps.

/——-/ We don’t allow anything. All we can do is vote for people who promise to fix it. They often let us down.

Or does in really matter?

Socialism should be 100% voluntary, forced socialism is always a bad idea

Thankfully we have nothing resembling socialism and it is a tiny tiny minute number of folk who support socialism so let's relax. It's not a threat to anything and has no support in america.

Socialism doesn't even start to get off the ground without guns to everyone's heads.
